Clinical Psychologist, Psychologist and Psychotherapist
Ready to give you space to explore yourself, find your true wants and needs, find words and answers, the opportunity to share what you are going through and be understood and seen.
I work with various requests. I will list those that I often come across recently:
Life in the conditions of war. Influence and worries about war, danger, threat to loved ones and one's own life, shocking events.
(Chronic) fatigue, inability/inability to take care of oneself.
Loneliness.
Anxious and depressive states.
Loss of contact with oneself (alienation, lack of emotions, not understanding what makes me feel bad and what I want).
The search for the true self "who I am and what I really want".
Feeling lost, loss of landmarks in life. Feeling "something is wrong". Not understanding how to live.
Difficulty in building one's own boundaries (knowing and saying what I want and what I don't want, saying no)
Memories or experiences from the past that do not leave.
Existential themes: Loneliness, Finitude, Death, Realization of life potential.
The feeling that you are not enough. Insufficiently good at something or lacking in general.
LGBTQ+ problems: external rejection, internal self-discrimination, etc.
Deconstruction and integration of psychedelic experiences.
You can apply without a concrete request and with feelings that cannot be named. It happens that the words are not immediately chosen, and the essence of what is disturbing is not yet clear. Support in the search for your own words and what "is still wrong" is an important and interesting part of therapy for me.
I do not work with military personnel, minors, chemical addicts in the active phase, with people experiencing the acute loss of loved ones or with a high risk of suicide.
About therapeutic space and values
Fluency, security and freedom are important to me. I give a lot of space for expression, for research, I do not impose my own meanings.
I am ready for different things and do not expect anything specific from you or from the sessions. I will not have an action plan or treatment recipes for you. We will get to know each other and explore what exactly you would like to receive from me. It is important for me to have a mutual understanding between the therapist and the client about "what is happening here" and the transparency of the process.
I respect the uniqueness of the other person. The freedom to be who you are, to make your own choices.
I value the right to believe in what you believe and to live in the world and in the way you choose.
I never know a client better than he/she does (and I don't plan to). We will come to your insights together.
Your world is only yours, and I can help you explore the area and recognize how everything is built there and why exactly so, regain the ability and strength to choose.
