About me
I’m Alina, a therapist with over 12 years of experience, deeply passionate about helping people connect with their true selves. My journey into psychotherapy grew from a love for understanding human connections and the resilience we all carry within us. I’ve worked with adults, children, and teens in various settings, dedicating myself to helping others build emotional intelligence and resilience, particularly in the face of developmental trauma.
Each person I meet teaches me something new about our shared need for belonging and growth.
Outside of therapy, I find joy in writing, volunteering, and advocating for mental health, particularly for young people. As a mother and an expat, I cherish nature, meaningful conversations, and the beauty of slowing down.
My hope is to bring warmth, openness, and curiosity to our work together, so you feel truly supported as you explore your own story.

Approach
As a certified multi-modal psychotherapist, I utilize a variety of techniques tailored to your unique needs. My primary approaches include Transactional Analysis, which helps clients gain clarity on their thinking, behavior, and feeling patterns for a deeper understanding of themselves. Gestalt Play Therapy invites you to reconnect with your inner child, fostering healing and self-discovery.
In addition, I incorporate Clay Field Therapy and Brainspotting, both of which focus on somatic work, particularly beneficial for addressing trauma. My aim is to create a warm, welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely.
With over 12 years of hands-on experience, I understand that life can be complex and overwhelming. I’m dedicated to helping you navigate these challenges, whether you're facing anxiety, relationship difficulties, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself. My approach emphasizes empowerment and resilience, guiding you to uncover insights and strengths that lead to meaningful change.
I believe that learning is essential to my practice, and it fuels my passion for supervision and training others. Sharing the knowledge I’ve gained along the way enriches not only my journey but also the journeys of those I work with. Together, we can embark on a path of personal growth and healing, allowing you to thrive.
