For me, psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a search for restoring one’s connection with the authentic self—an inner lived experience that may have been silenced, overlooked, or wounded. What forms the essence of therapy, in my view, is a living, two-person relationship—one grounded in safety, empathy, and the absence of judgment, where the self can be felt and re-understood.

My therapeutic orientation, rooted in Self Psychology and the intersubjective-psychoanalytic perspective, places emphasis on the individual’s experience in the here-and-now and on how unconscious echoes of the past emerge within the therapeutic relationship. I believe that in such a space, transformation is not an external goal but a living, unfolding process.

My understanding of therapy goes beyond technique. I see psychotherapy as a deep dialogue between psyches—where human connection and the experience of being understood become the ground for growth.

In the therapy room, the aim is to accompany the patient in approaching the depths of the unconscious and the intricate textures of inner experience—where hidden layers of suffering, repressed memories, and unformulated yearnings for connection and meaning gradually come into light within a safe and reflective relational space, allowing psychological change to take shape.
