About me
During my Psychology MA studies I was experimenting with therapeutic movement and group dynamics in acute and chronic psychosis management. Positive psychology and what creates or diminishes resilience in development was a part of my theoretical work. After graduating, I've spent a few years as a school psychologist, learning to work with adolescents, parents, families, teachers, school directors and classrooms. In the supervision part of my Biosynthetic Psychotherapy training, I created my private practice and started to conduct online individual and group sessions during the Covid pandemic. Currently I'm a part time college counselor, where I work with individuals and groups in both a counseling and therapy context. Occasionally I teach at the Charles university and conduct group workshops on self-care, among other topics.

Approach
The therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone and requirement for therapy to work. I tend to follow the rhythm and pace of the client, seeking to develop a space of safety in the therapy space, where we can explore more difficult, even existential issues with the aim of promoting a closer connection to creativity and freedom. Biosynthetic psychotherapy is an integrative, body-psychotherapy approach, where we consider the psychosomatic connection. It is not necessary to work directly with the body, although I do give instruction on breathing or movement excercises where appropriate and helpful. Rather than seeking emotional discharge, I focus on the feeling of safety that produces integration. The fuller expression of the emotional charge then naturally becomes gradually available.
