I am a psychologist and mental health consultant supporting adults and adolescents with anxiety, depression, burnout, emotional exhaustion and work-related stress.

My work is based on an integrative, CBT-informed approach, combining practical therapeutic tools with a warm, person-centered style. I focus on helping clients understand their emotional patterns, strengthen resilience and develo[ skills they can use in everyday life.

I haave extensive experience working with employees in demanding corporate environments, where common challenges include chronic stress, performance pressure, loss of motivation and difficultes maintaining healthy boundaries.

In therapy, I aim to offer a safe and supportive space where you can speak openly, gain clarity, and move toward meaningful and sustainable change.
