About me

I'm a trained psychologist who specializes in CBT, Existential therapy, and Positive psychology. If that doesn't tell you much, the main thing is that I'm not stuck in one worldview. I like to take the most useful tools from different approaches and think of every client as a unique individual with unique needs.

I move around a lot and am currently living in my 6th country. Got most of my education and training done in the Netherlands, but now live in the beautiful city of Prague.

I am open-minded and empathetic, with a sprinkle of neurodivergent on top. I have a crazy orange cat named Tony and am obsessed with animals.

English is my main language, but I also speak Russian fluently. I welcome clients from any country and any background.

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.

Whether you're dealing with stress, motivation, depression, or anxiety, I'm here for you! Having moved around a lot myself, I understand the challenges of migration and cultural adaptation firsthand. I also work with generational trauma, offering a gentle approach that always puts your well-being first. I believe you know yourself better than anyone, so I respect your integrity and work to support your unique needs. My top priority is making sure you feel comfortable and free from judgment—whatever you’re facing, I’m here to help.

I usually work with clients online, but if you want to see me in person, let's chat.
