As a psychologist, I believe that we all have an inner strength that can help us move forward even when life seems difficult. Sometimes, just a little support is needed for someone to see their own possibilities again and find the path that truly brings them joy.

The most inspiring part of my job is when someone realizes they can make changes and takes control of their life.

I most often work with adults who want to better understand themselves, break old patterns, and shape their everyday lives with more awareness.

During the sessions, I strive to create an atmosphere where it's safe to talk about anything, even the toughest feelings and where there's no need to conform. I believe change often begins when someone expresses what's inside them and experiences acceptance and understanding in return.

In my work, a systemic perspective plays an important role, meaning I always consider the environment, relationships, and life situations in which the issues appear. I believe that difficulties don't exist in isolation, but are connected to how we live, connect, and make decisions.

I work with a person-centered approach, which means I don't offer ready-made answers; instead, I help my clients find their own, internally derived solutions. For this, I often use simple, everyday practices or personalized tasks that support deeper reflection between sessions.

Additionally, I work with creative tools, like the monodrama method, where small objects and symbols help us represent inner experiences, allowing us to view them from a new perspective.

I did my professional internship at the Family Service League Foundation, where I gained deeper insights into the work of professionals working with couples and families. This period reinforced in me the importance of the power inherent in relationships and the healing effect of cooperation.

The path to becoming a psychologist was a long journey. Previously, I worked in recruitment and selection, where over nearly ten years, I learned a lot about people's motivations, decisions, and workplace challenges. As a result, the topic of career-related obstacles is particularly close to me, whether it's about career choice, searching for a vocation, mothers returning to work, or career changes. My corporate experience helps me understand my clients' workplace difficulties and inner conflicts.

I find it important for psychologists to continuously develop, which is why I perform my work alongside regular supervision and professional collaborations. I believe the foundation of authentic assistance is if we ourselves continuously work on our own self-awareness.
