Areas of focus
- I am a practicing psychologist and consultant. My work integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), art therapy, body-oriented techniques, mindfulness practices, and metaphorical associative cards (MAC). I create a safe, nurturing, and non-judgmental space for every client.
- Areas I address include:
- Anxiety, stress, emotional burnout, and self-help in crisis situations
- Low self-esteem, self-doubt, and finding inner support
- Personal boundaries: learning to establish, protect, and say "no"
- Relationship challenges (with partners, parents, colleagues)
- Emotional work: addressing guilt, shame, fear, and self-criticism
- Self-aggression and difficulties accepting oneself
- Time management, self-organization, and life balance
