Monika

I am an integrative psychotherapist which means that I tailor my approach to individual clients’ needs, according to their unique life experiences and preferences, to help them develop a greater sense of self-awareness, self-compassion, and resilience. I accept everyone for who they are and am a strong believer that while hurtful experiences within relationships can cause pain and damage, the very nature of human connection provides the potential for healing and growth. This healing happens in a therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client by processing past hurts, and rebuilding trust.

I am trained to work with a broad range of tools including talking and play/arts therapy. I incorporate into my work the principles of psychodynamic psychotherapy, play therapy, sand play therapy, Gestalt, CBT techniques and mindfulness-based therapy. I also offer EMDR therapy which can help with a range of issues, especially in processing past traumas. My work is informed by the recent research in neuroscience and attachment theory.

My goal is to create a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where clients can delve into their emotions, thoughts, and experiences on an emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and physical level.

I see all my psychotherapy clients in person.
