Meet Your Therapist
About Me -- Your Partner in Healing and GrowthI understand the emotional weight of anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions. As an English-speaking therapist in Europe, I provide trauma-informed, compassionate therapy designed to help expats heal, build resilience, and regain peace of mind. Whether you're navigating past trauma, emotional dysregulation, or adapting to a new culture, I’m here to guide you with personalized care.
Since 2017, I’ve lived as an expat in several European countries, including France, England, Hungary, and the Netherlands. This personal experience has given me a deep understanding of the challenges expats face, from culture shock and isolation to the stress of adjusting to new environments. I know how tough it can be to find balance when life feels unsettled, and I am committed to supporting you through these transitions with compassion and practical guidance.
In 2021, I faced the unexpected death of my partner. This life-changing experience reshaped my understanding of grief and trauma, deepening my ability to empathize with those navigating profound loss. The journey through my own grief and the emotional upheaval it caused informs how I support clients, helping them heal from loss, anxiety, and life’s hardest transitions.
I hold a Master’s in Clinical and Health Psychology from ELTE University in Budapest and a Bachelor's in Psychology from Queen’s University in Canada. My additional training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Megan Devine's Grief Care, and yoga therapy enhances my ability to offer holistic, compassionate care.
My Approach to HealingI use evidence-based therapeutic interventions like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you address your unique challenges and create lasting change. These methods are grounded in scientific research and tailored to meet your needs, whether you’re managing anxiety, overcoming trauma, or navigating life transitions.
I believe healing extends beyond the mind to the body. Trauma and emotional distress often show up in our nervous system, and as a yoga practitioner and teacher, I emphasize the mind-body connection to support your mental health. Through yoga therapy and trauma-informed practices, we’ll work together to nourish both body and mind, helping you feel more grounded, calm, and in control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do our therapy sessions take place and how long are they?
keyboard_arrow_down
Sessions take place online via Zoom. I will send you a secure Zoom link prior to our scheduled session. Each therapy session is 50 minutes.
What are the different types of therapy?
keyboard_arrow_down
In our work together, I’ll use a combination of evidence-based therapeutic methods that have proven success in helping individuals facing complex challenges. These approaches are tailored to meet your specific goals and improve your quality of life. If you prefer a specific type of therapy, we can incorporate it into your personalized plan. Here’s an overview of the therapies I may use to support you:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) CBT is a well-established, evidence-based approach that helps people address a wide range of mental health issues. It’s based on the idea that our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and actions are all interconnected. In therapy, we’ll work together to identify patterns in your thinking and behaviors, and adjust them with new coping strategies. By building flexible thinking and implementing practical tools, CBT can help you achieve your goals and improve overall well-being.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)DBT is an evidence-based approach particularly helpful for individuals with complex emotional challenges. It focuses on helping you manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Through DBT, you’ll learn essential skills like mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance—tools that help you handle life’s challenges more effectively and create healthier patterns in your emotional and social life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)ACT is a powerful therapy that teaches you how to accept difficult emotions and move forward despite discomfort. By learning to observe your emotions without judgment, you’ll be able to commit to meaningful behavioral changes aligned with your values. ACT empowers you to face life’s challenges with clarity and resilience, allowing you to live in a way that is true to your authentic self.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)CPT is a specific form of CBT that helps you challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs related to past trauma. It’s a highly effective treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and what’s unique about CPT is that you don’t need to retell your traumatic experiences to heal. We’ll work together to help you process the impact of the trauma on your thoughts and beliefs, allowing you to move forward with a clearer, healthier perspective.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)Motivational Interviewing is a compassionate, goal-oriented therapy that helps you explore your motivations for change. Through collaborative conversations, we’ll identify what truly matters to you, uncover your personal reasons for making change, and strengthen your commitment to reaching your goals. MI is a great approach for those struggling with ambivalence or looking to make lasting behavioural changes.
Mindfulness Mindfulness is the practice of tuning into the present moment with awareness and without judgment. Whether through formal meditation or integrating mindfulness into daily life, this practice helps reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and foster self-compassion. In therapy, mindfulness can be a powerful tool to help you find peace in the present moment and cultivate a sense of ease and acceptance in your everyday experiences.
Yoga Therapy Yoga Therapy blends the physical benefits of yoga with therapeutic techniques to support both your body and mind. Through breathwork, movement, and mindfulness, yoga therapy helps calm the nervous system, improve emotional regulation, and deepen your connection to the present moment. It’s particularly effective for those dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, or chronic pain, helping you foster balance, resilience, and a greater sense of well-being.
What is a 'trauma-informed' psychology practice?
keyboard_arrow_down
A trauma-informed practice means therapy is grounded in safety, compassion, and understanding. As a trauma-informed psychologist, I recognize that trauma can impact your thoughts, emotions, body, and relationships — whether from a single event or ongoing experiences.In our work together, I create a supportive space where you feel seen and respected. We’ll explore how trauma may be affecting your daily life, and I’ll offer tools and psychoeducation to help you understand and regulate your emotions.
The goal is to help you heal at your own pace, build resilience, and feel more grounded in your life and relationships.
What type of therapy is best for me?
keyboard_arrow_down
In our initial consultation and throughout our work together, we’ll focus on understanding your unique needs and goals. We will regularly check in to ensure that therapy is helping you make progress and that each session feels beneficial. To best support your growth, we may incorporate different therapeutic techniques, choosing the ones that best fit where you are in your journey. Together, we’ll find the right approach to help you achieve lasting change and emotional well-being.
How long will I be in therapy?
keyboard_arrow_down
The length of therapy depends on your goals and the issues you're working through. Some clients feel relief after just a few sessions, while others choose to continue longer-term to explore deeper patterns and create lasting change.
If you prefer a structured, goal-oriented approach, I offer evidence-based programs like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). These typically range from 8 to 12 sessions and include clear session plans, tools, and progress tracking.
We’ll decide together what pace and structure best fit your needs — therapy is always tailored to you.
What happens during the first session?
keyboard_arrow_down
The first session is a supportive starting point where we explore what’s bringing you to therapy—whether it’s anxiety, trauma, burnout, grief, or feeling stuck in life. You’ll have space to talk about your experiences, what’s felt overwhelming, and what you hope to change.We’ll also begin identifying your goals and discuss the structure of therapy, including whether a structured approach like CBT, DBT OR CPT might be a good fit for you.
This session is all about building trust, helping you feel safe and creating a personalised plan for healing and emotional growth, at your own pace.

In addition to our 50-minute therapy sessions, I provide a detailed follow-up email after each session.
