About me
I live in Poland, Germany, and Georgia. With a passion for science, psychology and philosophy, I have developed expertise in effective therapy, enriched by meditation retreats around the world and a PhD in Buddhist Studies.
Having spent time across Europe, North America, and Asia, I understand the unique challenges faced by expats living abroad. My background in organizational psychology also allows me to support clients in complex work situations.
Privately, my days are filled with my relationship, mindful activities like meditation, research in psychology, and enjoying healthy living.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
With my long therapeutic experience, I accept and deeply appreciate my clients, however weird or unusual their situation is. Additionally, with my practical approach clients usually experience noticeable relief quickly, within themselves and in relationships. I bring clarity, warmth, and active engagement to each session.
