ABOUT PSYCHOTHERAPY

For me, psychotherapy is a fascinating journey full of unexpected results. I'm ready to share it with you. I'm passionate about relationships, identity, love, grief, and anxiety. I also understand the challenges of moving and internal emigration. I'm ready to be with you at these challenging issues.

My 300+ hours of personal therapy and specialization in grief, loss, crisis, and sexology have been a crucial part of my journey. My teachers, such as Brigitte Martel, Polina Gaverdovskaya, and Irina Yakubovskaya, inspire me. Volunteering, supervision, and working with colleagues have also played a significant role in my development.
