Help people become happy through acceptance and self-love, because life is too short to be unhappy
Since childhood, I knew that my strength was my love for people and caring for their concerns and problems.
I firmly decided to connect my life with caring for others and their health.
I received a higher medical education, which laid an excellent foundation for further development, and the successful defense of my PhD thesis strengthened my faith in evidence-based science.

The basic medical principle is to do no harm with me in life.
It is he who is the main incentive for my continuous professional development. Thanks to him, I always put the psychological health of my clients first and very carefully and individually select effective methods in my practice.
