About me
I am originally from Albania, but I was raised in Greece, while currently residing in The Netherlands. Since 18 years of age, I traveled mostly in Europe for educational and occupational matters.
Before beginning to practice Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) and expanding my therapeutic methods by adopting a mindfulness-based approach, I started my profession by learning, understanding, and implementing the fundamentals of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Schema Focused Therapy (SFT). Each one of the therapies used are scientifically based therapies that had numerous studies testing and retesting its validities and reliabilities towards clients. Furthermore, I have an extensive education in Burn-Out, but also identify and diagnose Team processes in organizations, the craft of Negotiation, Personality at work, Leadership in Organisations, and Work & Health to provide an extensive quality service to professionals regardless of hierarchy or occupation.
Lastly, I tailor my strategies and therapeutic approach to each individual I work with since my experience as a psychologist has taught me that there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution.

Approach
My universal approach perceives and works with the persistent interaction between Mind, Body and Soul in an individual involvement. This entails two major factors.
Becoming a Person as a Whole: Coast-to-coast my approach perceives and engages in a ceaseless interaction between Mind, Body, and Soul in each independent human experience. Even if they have come to rule your life, your health, and the events that led you to treatment. This does not entirely define who you are. You should consider this as a journey.
Big or Small, each victory is a success. Focusing on singular aspects such as symptoms, behaviors, personality, or life. Your treatment might be as short as possible. In order to form your recovery, together we need to recognize, catch and pinpoint the influences of your current life, and individual history.
Recovery and Care on individual basis: I won't subject you to a predetermined program. I treat you like the special person that you are.
While I will never take a standard approach, I will use scientifically based therapies where we believe they will be effective for you. We will work together, and be ready to modify each approach we take as we progress.
To work effectively together, we begin by getting to know each other well and developing trust. Each adventure must begin with a good partnership. This means we believe in a healthy therapeutic relationship.
As you therapist I will carefully collaborate with you on an individual basis to build the most accurate picture of how your pain, mental, physical, and emotional health abnormalities are affecting you, and the people in your surrounding. In order to help you create a recovery that is wholly your own, but also the one we both believe has the highest potential of continuing beyond treatment. We draw on our experience and knowledge.
We will work with you to set up the resources required to continue your recovery with the last goal of being Safe & Sane.
