ABOUT ME
A professional guide here to help you.
I was born in Hungary, lived in the USA, Italy and in Ireland. Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to get into a career path that would make a difference in people’s lives. This interest led me to study psychological science. My life experiences shaped my empathy for people navigating transitions and relating cultures different than their own. I offer bilingual therapy both in English and Hungarian.
In therapy my goal is to create a supportive and accepting environment for my clients. I work with individuals and families from a systemic perspective, knowing we experience wounds through relationships but through relationships we can also find healing. In my work I use integrative approach, which means I combine elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems theory, positive and humanistic psychology, mindfulness, Brainspotting and play therapy.
My expertise also includes anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem concerns, relationship problems, acculturative and immigration stress. I also have experience working with children, adults on the autistic spectrum and supporting their families.
I am also trained in child and adolescence counselling and psychotherapy.
