I am an analytical psychologist and art therapist working with individuals and groups. I have nine years of professional experience, including three years of analytical practice.
My background includes a Master’s degree in Philosophy, studies in the anthropology of religion, and professional training across different cultural contexts. I work at the intersection of analytical psychology, art therapy, and reflective dialogue.
I am also a mother of six children, including one adopted child, and have personal experience of living in emigration. I have lived and studied in Belarus, Russia, and Israel, and I am currently based in Poland. This lived experience informs my sensitivity to questions of identity, belonging, family dynamics, and psychological resilience.
In my practice, I work with trauma, relational dynamics, family systems (including adoption and non-biological parenthood), adolescence, and life crises. Like every analytical practitioner, I work with dreams, symbols, mythological imagery, psychological complexes, and the process of interpretation, supporting each client in the search for their individual path and forms of self-expression.
Earlier in my academic training, I studied the religions and philosophical traditions of India. I am open and interested in working with clients from different cultural background, provided they feel comfortable engaging in therapy with a practitioner who approaches their experience with respect, curiosity, and humility, while continuing to learn rather than assuming cultural expertise.
