About me

I am a trained Clinical Counsellor with a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University in New Brunswick, Canada. I am very passionate about helping people improve their mental health. I specialize in couples counselling, trauma-related issues, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I am trained in different therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, EMDR, Bowen Family Systems Therapy, and Solution-focused Brief Therapy. I am a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors.

I currently offer online services through Zoom as well as group seminars around the world. I am a resident of three countries and I split my time between Canada, the USA, and Bulgaria. I speak English and Bulgarian fluently, and I have basic knowledge of Spanish, German, and French.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Couples therapySupport for couples working through problems and who want to gain insight into the relational dynamics that contribute to the problem.
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.

I am trained in different therapeutic approaches, however, I find that the most important part of therapy is the relationship between the counsellor and the client. Another important aspect of my work is the body-mind connection. I believe that balancing the body helps balance the mind and vice versa.
