My primary goal as a therapist is to help clients reach a state of inner balance and emotional clarity, while fostering meaningful personal growth. I believe that no single method fits everyone, and that an integrative approach — combining several evidence-based modalities — allows me to adapt to each person’s unique story and needs. My main therapeutic framework is Existential Analysis, a humanistic and deeply personal approach founded by Alfried Längle, a direct student of Viktor Frankl, the creator of logotherapy. Existential Analysis explores what makes life truly meaningful for each individual — helping clients reconnect with themselves, their values, and their sense of freedom and responsibility. Alongside this foundation, I also work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns, and I integrate methods from body-oriented therapy, focusing, and art therapy to deepen emotional awareness and support the connection between body and psyche. The core principles that guide my work are: Confidentiality – I am a member of the Existential-Analytical Psychologists Association and strictly follow its ethical standards. Care and Empathy – I create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can express themselves openly. Respect – I honor each person’s experiences, emotions, and pace of growth. During sessions, I use a variety of techniques — from guided reflection and dialogue to gentle body-based awareness practices and role exploration. At times, I may suggest psychological assessments or reflective exercises between sessions to support deeper insight, though participation is always optional. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you build resilience, confidence, and a more authentic connection with yourself and others.
