About me

I am a psychologist working with adults, offering both in-person and online consultations. Over the years, I have worked in both institutional settings and private practice, experiences that shaped a grounded, thoughtful, and flexible way of working with people.

What matters most to me in my work is presence. I aim to offer a calm, attentive space where clients feel safe enough to slow down and be honest with themselves. Many people arrive feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or disconnected, often without a clear explanation of what is wrong. I see this uncertainty not as a weakness, but as a meaningful starting point.

I value authenticity and emotional nuance, and I work best in depth rather than on the surface. I am interested in how people relate to themselves and to others, how their life experiences have shaped them, and how these patterns continue to influence their present lives. My way of working is reflective and collaborative, guided by curiosity rather than judgment.

I regularly engage in supervision and ongoing professional development, and I consider self-reflection an essential part of responsible psychological work. My aim is not to provide answers, but to accompany clients as they make sense of their experiences and gradually find more clarity, balance, and self-trust.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
Person-centred approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.

My approach is person-centered and relational. This means that the therapeutic relationship itself is central to the work. I believe that meaningful change happens within a relationship where a person feels genuinely heard, emotionally understood, and respected at their own pace.

Rather than focusing on quick solutions or symptom management alone, I am interested in understanding the underlying emotional processes and relational patterns that shape a person’s difficulties. In therapy, we explore how past experiences, attachment patterns, and learned ways of coping continue to influence the present. This exploration is always collaborative and guided by what feels relevant and tolerable for the client.

Sessions are shaped by openness and curiosity. There is no expectation to have clear goals or well-formulated problems from the beginning. We work with what emerges in the moment: thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, silences, and uncertainties. I pay close attention to how clients experience themselves in relationship, including how they experience me and the therapeutic space.

I often work with themes such as self-worth, boundaries, intimacy, loneliness, loss, and life transitions. The focus is not on fixing or correcting, but on understanding, integration, and developing a more compassionate and coherent relationship with oneself.

Therapy, in my view, is a process of deepening awareness and expanding inner flexibility. Over time, this can open up new perspectives, choices, and ways of relating — not by force, but through understanding and emotional safety.
