Here to Support Your Journey
Hi, I’m Ivana
I’m a psychologist with a master’s degree in psychology and psychotherapy, and above all, I’m a very curious person. I love research, I love understanding a problem from every angle, and I love finding out how things connect, especially the things that don’t look like they should. I’m a creative one too, and therapy is creative work: there’s no script for a person, so we try things, adapt them, and sometimes invent a tool that only makes sense for your life (my fav). What I bring into the room is simple: I want to understand you, not fit you into a box.
How I work
I see people as a whole: mind, body, emotions, and the life they’re actually living. So my work blends evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and body awareness (and yes, I’ll probably ask about your sleep and how much you move, sorry in advance). No two people’s therapy looks the same, so we work out together what you need. Therapy with me is a team effort. You know your life better than anyone, I know a thing or two about how minds work, and the good stuff happens when we put those together.
What I draw on
I use several well-researched approaches, and choose what fits you:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): making room for difficult feelings so they stop running your life, and moving toward what matters to you.
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT): turning down a harsh inner critic, and learning to meet yourself with the kindness you’d give a friend.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): noticing how thoughts, feelings and actions feed each other, and changing the patterns that keep you stuck.
Attachment theory: understanding how early relationships shape the way you connect now.
Bowen family systems therapy: seeing how the family you grew up in still echoes in your relationships today.
Where I’ve worked, and why online
I’ve worked with individuals and couples from all over the world, and I adapt therapy to each person’s culture and context. I work online and keep therapy affordable because good care shouldn’t depend on where you live or what you can afford. Beyond my practice, I consult for organizations, helping develop psychological tools and methods and helping teams work better together. And I’m researching online therapy, because I want to understand what makes it work, and how to make it even better.
