My expertise focuses on effective therapy for a variety of mental illnesses from anxiety to trauma and expat living in English, Albanian, Italian & German.
I have worked as a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst for 8+ years and the wellbeing of my clients always comes first. That's why I offer same-day/within 24 hours appointments and I am WhatsApp available (0043 676 3862527). Mental health should be taken as seriously as any other physical condition and it is important for me to offer an environment where this is possible. Many of us grow up without the privilege of a safe nest or having someone who understands us and therapy can be the start of that experience.

EMDR is a clinically proven, effective ( trauma-) therapy method that works for a high percentage of people.
You might notice your emotions, behavior, thoughts, or bodily sensations feel disproportionate to the current situation. You might experience anxiety, depression, freezing, panic, impulsivity, anger, shame, dissociation, flaschbacks, hyperarrousal or avoidance. You may hold negative perceptions of yourself and others, with beliefs like: I am not lovable, I am not good enough, I am in danger, I am powerless, or I am not important. You might repeatedly be drawn to partners with challenging characteristics. The reason for all of this can in many cases be found in the past.

I have been working with adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, mood and personality disorders.
Psychodynamic therapy offers people to look deeper at the roots of their problems and to unravel the torment inside of them. On that journey to the authentic self, patients learn to bring their unconscious wishes to the surface and to discover their true feelings.

Many of the people I work with feel stuck in recurring emotional patterns, struggle in relationships, or carry a sense that something is off but can’t quite name it. They’re not just looking for coping strategies—they want to understand themselves more deeply and make meaningful, lasting change. Together, we explore the roots of their struggles and help bring hidden or conflicted parts of the self into awareness—so they can live with more clarity, connection, and inner freedom.

Trauma and PTSD Counsellors

When should I seek treatment for trauma?

Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.

How long does trauma therapy take?

Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.

What happens if trauma is left untreated?

Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.

Can PTSD come back after treatment?

It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
