About me
I have been searching for a systematic recipe for a harmonious life that has worked for me all my life. I started developing as a person first as a financier, and in 8 years, I almost burned myself out. Along the way, I was engaged in sports and self-development courses.
Later, at work, there was an opportunity to switch to project management, and a colleague recommended trying psychotherapy to better cope with the difficulties of relations with colleagues. It started to help me, and I continue to meticulously supplement the picture of world perception and check it in practice, which makes my life comfortable.
I am interested in how people make choices and organise their lives, and I draw inspiration from cinema, philosophy, art, poetry and observations of everyday life. This helps me see both patterns and nuances in clients’ stories. For the last six years, I have been deeply immersed in training: personal therapy, group work, supervision, and continuous professional education.
I am a professional and compassionate Gestalt psychotherapist, working in English and dedicated to helping individuals overcome challenges and achieve goals. I'm eager to be helpful to humanity in small steps.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Body therapyRecommended for those who want to connect their mind and body to release stress or trauma through physical sensations and movement.
Existential analysisRecommended for those who are searching for deeper meaning in life or are struggling with big questions about existence, freedom, and purpose.
Gestalt therapyRecommended for those who want to focus on the present and take responsibility for their feelings and actions to promote personal growth.
As a psychotherapist, I prioritize a supportive and careful approach to each person's unique situation. I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where my clients can explore and understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe that everyone deserves respect and understanding as they navigate their individual journeys of self-discovery and develop their self-awareness.
My approach involves creating an environment where my clients can express their inner world freely and explore various aspects of their life with the support of my presence. I work to create a non-judgmental and open-minded space where my clients can feel free to discuss their innermost thoughts and feelings without the fear of being judged or shamed. From my own experience, I know it can be challenging to identify the aspects of our lives that are truly meaningful and satisfy us, while others may be limiting or holding us back.
I believe in the healing power of presence and encourage my clients to explore and accept the complex parts of their life with kindness and compassion. I work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, family issues, and relationships. My approach also helps those seeking to understand their life purpose, improve their overall quality of life, or strive for personal growth.
