Together we will develop new prospects and alternative courses of action for your life. In order to implement these strategies we will rely on proven methods of modern cognitive behavioral therapy. To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.

My clients are humans, wonderful humans, who want to change something about their lives to the better. They need inner strength for that and a fellow traveller on their journey, who will do whatever is needed to help reaching the goal of their common journey - and to make the journey itself worthwhile.

I love working with thoughtful, capable, and self-reflective individuals who feel stuck in recurring patterns, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, or a sense that something isn’t fully lived or integrated. Perhaps you understand your difficulties intellectually, but insight alone hasn’t led to real change. You want more than symptom relief - you want clarity, emotional stability, and a deeper sense of agency. Your goal is not just to understand yourself at a deeper level, but also to process what still affects you from the past, and ultimately be able to respond to life with more freedom, resilience, and authenticity.

Some inner experiences do not respond to advice, techniques, or short-term solutions — they insist, repeat, and resist despite our best conscious efforts. This is where psychoanalysis begins. My approach also extends to the Szondi Test, offered as a standalone diagnostic instrument for executives. I work in German, English, Ukrainian, and Russian, and bring to the consulting room a first-hand understanding of displacement, translation, and rebuilding a life in a new language. I hold an MSc in Clinical Psychology, Côte d'Azur University, France and completed full credential recognition (Nostrifizierung) in Austria.

In my psychotherapy practice, I work with adolescents and adults. My treatment focuses on learning and gaining an understanding how you think, feel and experience life. Together, we will attempt to understand the unconscious patterns that shape your experiences and relationships. This will broaden, deepen and strengthen your sense of self.

I have been working with adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, mood and personality disorders. The experience I have gained over a few years with multiple psychological problems brought more light to my understanding of the psyche and its treatment.

I believe there are hidden reasons and meanings in the ways we think, behave, and feel. Additionally, I believe that the way every person thinks and acts is very specific to them. Therefore, when someone comes seeking therapy, treatment is not about correcting thoughts and behaviours, but rather about understanding them to discover the person’s individual truth. The aim of our sessions together will be to provide you the space to find what links your thoughts, behaviours, and attitudes together.

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.

As a person-centered psychotherapist, I believe that healing begins in relationship – in a space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. My own life experience has shown me how powerfully we are shaped by external expectations – and how liberating it can be to meet ourselves honestly, in all our complexity.
