About me

I provide psychological counseling for individuals and companies, building on 14 years of diverse professional experience. Over the years, I’ve realized how important it is to help people overcome challenges, find themselves, and enjoy life — it’s what inspires me the most.

Beginning as an intern, I worked my way up to Vice President of an investment company. Along the way, I built teams and helped employees unlock their potential, gaining a deep understanding of how career choices impact overall happiness and fulfillment.

I’ve experienced professional burnout, learned how to find motivation, and made tough decisions. Now, I use this experience to help others balance their careers and personal happiness.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.

From my experience, I know that some issues can be resolved without the help of a psychologist. During our first session, I focus on understanding whether my assistance is truly needed or if the solution lies in a different area.

Areas I can help:

-Lack of self-confidence and doubts about changes -Difficulties in decision-making -Self-discovery -Uncertainty about which direction to take in complex situations -Improving the quality of life -Finding balance

In my work, I focus entirely on the client and their unique goals. To achieve the best results, I use an integrative approach, combining psychological counseling, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and psychodrama therapy. These methods work together seamlessly to provide personalized and effective support tailored to each individual. If you’re ready to make meaningful changes, I’m here to support you.
