About me
Born in Slovakia, I have lived and worked in the Czech Republic, the United States, and Spain. I hold an MA in Psychology and since 2012 a certification from the Ministry of Health to work in health care. I worked on a crisis child hotline and 24/7 mental health support line providing online and face-to-face counseling and short-term sessions. Trained in systemic approach (solution-focused therapy and narrative therapy) and in 2017 completed a 4-year long internationally accredited training in group analytic psychotherapy in Prague. Since 2009 I have been working with international university students and adults offering mental health support in different formats: running a college counseling center, coordinating EAP mental health support services in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Russian Federation, and collaborating with the EAP service as a psychotherapist to this day. My main focus is on individual and group psychotherapy with adolescent and adult clients suffering from mental health issues within the psychiatric area or outside. I have been working therapeutically with people struggling with all sorts of issues, e.g. depression, anxiety, panic attacks, emotional instability, bipolar and psychotic disorders, as well as relationship and family problems, management of stress, conflicts in the family or at the workplace, self-esteem/confidence, and lately also working more clients suffering from the PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). I do not believe in offering universal advice. I prefer to look for meaningful insights with my clients who are the ones deciding whether they work for them or not. In my therapeutic work, I like to use an integrative approach getting inspiration from a variety of psychotherapeutic and the main purpose of my work is to help the client find their own way to achieve a better quality of life and live the best live they possibly can in the context that is unique to each one of them.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
Throughout the years of working with clients, I have learned that the practice can be quite different from the theory one is trained in. This said, I do hold a strong belief in psychodynamic ideas, especially when working with clients who are struggling for the most part of their life with difficulties that appear to be repeating/coming back. However, every client is different and that is my rule number one when starting to work with someone. In the beginning, we always start by talking about the expectations from the sessions: the objective for our collaboration. I also have expectations as a therapist, and we also talk about those:) In my sessions, one of the few main things is the relationship (and “rapport”) we work on throughout our sessions. I believe that trust is a prize one should earn; something a therapist should never get for free and it should be cherished. And it is also the only element(or one of a few) which, if missing, our work could bring short-term relief but I do not believe it can be effective in the long-term run. Even though my theoretical background stems mostly from the psychodynamic approach, I have found many useful ideas and tools in other approaches (like systemic or cognitive behavioral therapy) and I tend to use different tools however my goal remains always the same.
Lastly, I have been helping clients who are struggling with a variety of issues, like anxiety, depression, traumatic experience or PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), bipolar disorder, low self-esteem, difficulties with aggression and impulsivity, relationship/marital/divorce issues, psychosomatic problems and pain among others.
