I am a psychotherapist, coach and supervisor, teaching therapist, and trainer at the Institute for Integrative Gestalt therapy in Vienna, as well as a lecturer and co-leader at the Institute for training research at Sigmund Freud University. After my psychological studies in Bulgaria, I pursued and finished psychotherapeutic training at Sigmund Freud University (in cooperation with the Institute for Integrative Gestalt Therapy, Vienna). I have been working in the field of mental healthcare since 2004 and for years I have led a successful practice in Vienna and Graz. My areas of expertise include personality disorders, affective disorders, stress-related and somatoform disorders, chronic stress and chronic diseases, migration and cultural topics, health promotion and quality of life.
I was born in Sofia, Bulgaria. My personal and academic route brought me to Austria in the year 2009, where I specialized in psychotherapy and became a licensed professional, where I found my well-being and where I develop myself further every day.
