About me
I’m a psychotherapist practicing online in Bulgarian, English, and Spanish with clients around the globe. With a deep understanding of existential struggles, I provide a space where you can explore your inner world, confront the void, and uncover what truly matters to you. I offer not just comfort, but the tools to reshape your relationship with yourself and the world in times when you're feeling lost, stuck, or disconnected.
In my private practice, I often work with people who feel adrift—those who grapple with a sense of meaninglessness, emptiness, or disconnection from themselves and the world.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
DBT: Dialectical Behavior Therapy Recommended for those who want to learn skills to manage intense emotions and improve their relationships, especially if they feel easily overwhelmed.
PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.
My approach is both compassionate and direct: I provide a space where you can be honest about what you're experiencing, without judgment or pressure to conform to superficial solutions.
Together, we will explore the deeper questions beneath your struggles: What drives your sense of emptiness? What assumptions have shaped your view of yourself and your place in the world? What would it mean for you to live with purpose? I draw from existential, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based approaches, helping you recognize unconscious patterns, tolerate uncertainty, and create a more fulfilling, authentic life.
I do believe in meaningful change based on genuine connection. Our work will be a collaboration—challenging at times, but always in service of your growth and self-understanding. If you’re ready to step into the discomfort of deep exploration and move toward a more engaged life, I’m here to walk that path with you.

Psychoanalysis is a path to building bridges toward others, for example, by taking responsibility for the effects our words have on others; and it helps to lead a life more in line with one's own desires.
