About Me

My academic journey began when I moved to Prague in 2013 and began studying medicine for two years, which sparked my deep interest in the human mind and led me to pursue a career in psychology.

 

I spent six years studying psychology at the University of New York in Prague, where I earned two bachelor's degrees and overall graduated with a master's degree in the field. This diverse educational experience has given me a broad perspective on psychological principles and practices.

 

Additionally, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in a different cultural environment by living in Germany, The United States, as well as having travelled to many countries across the globe. My international experiences have enriched my understanding of various cultures, further equipping me to support clients from diverse backgrounds.

My Approach

My therapeutic approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the Person-Centered Approach, offering a balance between structured, goal-oriented techniques and a compassionate, client-focused environment to support your personal growth and well-being.
