Q: Can you share what brought you to this profession?
A: Like many professionals in helping roles, I came here because I had a lot of
inner pain myself. I was able to help myself and find the necessary answers.
Now, I want to share these answers with others to make the world a better place. This also gives me a significant advantage — I truly understand my clients;
know what pain, powerlessness, and despair feel like. I speak your language.

I help people see themselves, find their place in the world, and cope with various challenges. The world is complex and chaotic, and being human is incredibly difficult, so let's exhale together and gradually sort things out.
My approach is to breathe out and start dealing with everything thoughtfully.

Q: How do you view people who act out
or seem 'bad'?
A: There are no bad people, only wounded ones. Some direct their pain inward, others outward.
In both cases, it's essential to soothe the pain
and learn to live from a place of love.
This requires learning to endure pain
and to take care of oneself.

My Core Values
Q: What are your main values?
LOVE
BEAUTY
CREATIVITY
Q: Could you share more about your interests and hobbies?
A: I'm deeply interested in science, philosophy, and art. Creativity plays a major role in my life. I've traveled to over 50 countries, enjoy being in nature, and find swimming
to be very important — water calms and energises me. Spending time with close friends, reading, dancing,
watching films, and visiting exhibitions, museums,
and performances are all essential parts of my life.
