About myself: The aim of my work as a psychologist is to help people come to know themselves, for a better relationship with themselves and with others, with themselves and with the world.
Knowledge from science. This is not a theory you can learn from books. It is something we can gain only through experience: how to treat myself, what gives me joy, where I am going and which path I choose for it. When you know yourself that well — that, most likely, is happiness.
Because for such a person living in this world becomes not only easier but also more interesting. Even when new tasks, new challenges or difficulties come, we can meet them with pleasure! Because we understand what is best for us and how best to do it for ourselves! This is the path of joy and development! The path of awareness!
When you understand yourself, you stop depending on others. That is freedom.

Art therapy is a love of its own for me. It is not simply entertainment. It is a way to grasp yourself and to meet parts of our inner world that were not accessible before. Work with the unconscious. Like work with dreams, it is an enormous world holding incredible depths of answers.
My practice began with art. And I came to gestalt when I needed to solve some difficulties in business and was looking for a coach.
At first working with her made me very angry. I needed my question solved as quickly as possible, and she was getting into my soul. Is there some algorithm that ought to help fix problems and move on?! Of course such tools exist! But, as it turned out, they do not help until you are at peace with yourself.
We know so much about the body, about the physical part of a person… But how little we know about the psyche. And still less about the soul. I want to bring these ideas together. Because for a person to live wholly, all three parts must be in harmony: the body, the psyche and the soul.
And I became curious to work out how all of it functions! Gestalt was my point of entry into real, serious practice. That is why I went through every stage of gestalt therapy training and gladly continue to study and practise.
I like helping people get to know themselves, their wishes, possibilities and resources.
After all, everything rests only on what I know about myself. Of course it is impossible to know everything. But every time, every day, every minute I will find new answers in the process of living. That is what life is given to us for — so that we learn and grow.
There is still much for me to learn and to go through, but I can say that today I feel well and confident. I have found work I love and a fine profession — more than one, in fact, since I am a psychologist, a teacher, a designer-decorator and even a stylist.
And I go on finding, with surprise and joy, people and places that give a sense of fullness and contentment. It feels as though I am now in my own house, where I have set my own creative order. Where I am my own creator and director, where the rules and the aesthetics are mine, and everything happens exactly as it should.
I invite you to meet and to work together! I believe that with my experience and knowledge I will be able to help you too find yourself and your own path to contentment.
