My approach to psychotherapy combines modern scientific methods with personalized strategies to support individuals and companies on their journey toward a conscious and fulfilling life. I aim to equip everyone with the skills to manage their psyche and soul, guiding those who recognize the need for change by providing the necessary tools for transformation. I offer a wide range of therapy forms, including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), Dialectical-Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Psychology and Mindfulness, as well as innovative approaches that I find particularly valuable. I offer individually, couples, and follow-up treatments. My hybrid therapy concept includes online sessions, along with supportive courses and exercises for home use. In terms of couples therapy, I am certified in Emotionally Focused Couples therapy (EFCT) which is a structured, short-term approach (8-20 sessions) based on attachment theory that aims to improve emotional connection and relationship satisfaction. It emphasizes the role of emotions in relationship dynamics, helping couples understand and address the underlying attachment issues that contribute to conflict and emotional distance. The core values of my practice include understanding and empathy, professional competence, availability and flexibility, safety and confidentiality, and solution-oriented approaches. I value cultural and linguistic adaptability, a holistic approach that considers all aspects of well-being, and specializations in specific areas. I strive to convey safety and competence through my empathetic and respectful approach, backed by extensive personal experience and education. Furthermore, I offer short-term appointments to prevent minor crises from escalating. My goal is to create an environment where you feel comfortable and receive the support you need to actively and satisfactorily shape your life.​​ My goal is to listen, understand and help with ​reason(s) for coming to therapy that can bring ​relief short-term, and show you the tools and ​wisdom to be able to handle similar issues in the ​future.
