I started my career as a psychologist when I was still working in the medical field, helping patients in critical situations in the intensive care unit. I have always been concerned not only with the physical suffering of the person, but also with the accompanying spiritual pain. I listened and at the same time felt the despair that sometimes overwhelmed the patient, knowing that there was no cure and that his strength was slowly failing him. At that time, I would be quietly present, saying a prayer to accompany him on that path...

Then I realized that I wanted to help people in a different way, and that's how I discovered psychology and came to believe deeply in the analytical theory of K.G. Jung, which is not about healing the physical body but about exploring the soul. It does not work through medical methods, which automatically eliminates the question of what is normal and what is not. I have been studying more and more to understand the human being, his development, his psyche, how family history and other life experiences (crises, illnesses, losses, traumas, violence) affect us. I have always believed that human beings have unconscious resources to overcome difficulties, they just need to discover them, but to do that, they need the help of another person.

I myself like to travel actively, be outdoors, grow flowers and herbs. I especially like to sing, which is why I'm in a choir. What I value most is openness and sincere relationships.
