Life's challenges can often feel overwhelming, leaving us seeking answers and solutions. I believe in tailoring therapy to each individual's unique needs, fostering a collaborative and empathetic environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. My therapeutic toolbox includes evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Jungian approach, and existential therapy. By integrating these approaches, we can work together to identify patterns, untangle complexities, and nurture lasting positive change.
My journey as a mental health professional has taken me across continents, allowing me to connect with diverse cultures and understand the universal threads that bind us all. Having practiced in Canada, Turkey, and Poland, I have had the privilege of guiding individuals on their path to mental and emotional well-being
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or simply seeking personal growth, I'm here to walk alongside you. Together, we will explore the depths of your mind, uncovering hidden strengths and developing coping strategies that empower you to face life's twists and turns with resilience.
