Hello! ¡Hola! Вітаю!

I'm an existential psychotherapist in training and a psychology student. I'm also a photographer, a foreigner and a refugee. We started as a statement against the sloppy professional standards that dominated the field of construction services 20 years ago. We wanted to set a new, high standard and work as consultants, solving our client's problems.

The company quickly grew and cemented itself as the new golden standard in commercial construction. Today we continue to build on that legacy and strive for excellence in everything we do.

I take care of the quality of my work by constantly supervising my work with a supervisor, in personal and group therapy sessions. I continue deepening my ... with regular individual supervisions, a second year of attending philosophical supervision group. Personal psychotherapy. reading club of "Being and Time" by Hiedeggier.

I don't work with: children, couples, addictions or mental disorders (schizophrenia, dissociative disorder, etc.).

Will therapy help you? I don't know,

Who I Help

Ukrainians & War Refugees

I work with Ukrainians who are adjusting to life in a new country, are displaced within Ukraine, or have chosen to remain in their hometowns while living under a constant existential threat. Now in the fifth year of the full-scale Russian invasion, many of my fellow countrymen and countrywomen - while having adapted in many ways to life during the war - continue to face enormous emotional and practical challenges. These range from settling to their children growing up and attending kindergarten/school/university abroad, to living with the daily news of death, disappearance, or captivity of their loved ones.

Young Adults

I work with young adults who are navigating the early stages of building direction and confidence in their lives. I have a special place in my heart for people between the ages of 18 and 25. The experiences and challenges faced during this time are deeply formative, yet many are expected to figure them out on their own.

Expats in LATAM

I work with expats living in Latin America who are navigating cultural shifts and new beginnings abroad. Living between cultures can be both exciting and challenging, and therapy can provide a space to process the transitions that come with building a life in a new place. In my practice, I work with people from many cultural backgrounds and walks of life. Having lived across different cultures for more than a decade, I’ve experienced both the richness of human diversity and the common threads in the struggles people face.
