Life journey had taken me through several fields of psychological knowledge and various other approaches to mental health. From computer science and psychological support in aviation to academic approaches in psychology and psychotherapy within universities and institutes. All these parts of my life thought me a small part of how to assist others with their emotional or psychological struggle.

Life can sometimes be very hard, there are ups and downs, tears and laughter, joy and sorrow, insights and ignorance. I met some great people and friends along my life, traveled all around the world for work and visited over a fifty countries which showed me how different cultures live and strive.

These had thought me about the universality of human condition, about suffering and striving, stagnating and growing, prospering sadness and happiness. All these experiences brought me to the place where I am today, a psychologist with a private practice helping people with various mental health issues. I am so grateful I came to know best and most effective psychotherapy methods and I want to share this knowledge to support people with various emotional and psychological problems.

Every person has this special innate healthy part of themselves which wants to thrive, grow be content and happy. However, this part might be sometimes clouded by the tension, stress, anxiety and psychological defenses against the painful feelings that cause them. Often it is hard to see how some parts of ourselves directly cause us hurt, abandonment, criticism or ignoring of ourselves and others. Seeing these unconscious mechanisms and turning against them brings emotional truth, kindness, resolution, unconditional positive regard, wholeness and empathy for ourselves and others.

We can work together to help you bring to the conscious what was unconscious before. This journey will open up your abilities for self-reflection, emotional experiencing and will make you get to know yourself on a deeper level of your emotional being in order integrate your inner world, and accept yourself, others and the world around fully.

Therapeutic Approach

My practice integrates ISTDP with evidence-based integrative models to address the root causes of psychological suffering. I specialize in identifying unconscious defenses and emotional blocks that manifest as:

Clinical Symptoms: Panic attacks, chronic anxiety, and depressive states.
Psychosomatic Conditions: Physical symptoms rooted in emotional distress.
Professional Stagnation: Internal blockages affecting high-performers and expats.

The work is active, highly structured, and focused on deep-seated character transformation rather than temporary symptom management.
