Gestalt Therapy is a phenomenological therapy in which we investigate phenomena as they appear objectively (without assumptions), to understand the significance of the lived experience.

I believe firmly that there is the biggest power in honest, simple connection on not what but how we experienced what we experienced in our lives. So when I meet you, I am truly interested in what is in your heart. Not because of the sensationalism of the stories, all though it is very welcome to tell me all of it (sometimes they need to be told from a to z) but the full experience itself. And usually, the parts that were missed, neglected or rejected by important others in forming ourselves. Somewhere, the process got stunted, blocked or repressed and I love finding how we can find a way to end it. It brings me joy when people get to feel heard and get to live from their purpose.

Something about my lived experience is that I didn’t always felt seen in my uniqueness, and thus taught myself to really understand the other, in an attempt to balance it out and hopefully receive as well. Learning later on, in being a social worker for 20 years, how giving alone isn’t really fruitful for either the other nor myself. This was also the turning point for me to return to Gestalt; I don’t want to help/fix others, I want to be present for others to be met in their entirety, including their unseen parts, as a sparring partner that is authentic and up front. As a co-creator of a new reality, guiding the process along the way to find what it is that is missing, besides company.

I love photography and modern arts. I love vintage furniture, with scratches and grooves. I love seeing crooked noses or nerdy personal traits. I love animals and nature. I understand spirituality and response-ability. I am ok with not-understanding something and learning. Embodiment is very important in my day to day life, working out and aligning my body, is what keeps me rooted in myself.

I dislike the systemic oppressions that prevent people from living in communities, standing up for what they believe in and hate ignorantly following the crowds or living in a mono-culture (boring!).

Born double blooded, with my ancestry in Hungaria, I see a lot of awful “isms” repeating in the current times and it makes me more determined to stay radically human and loving. I am aware that I am too, a part of the system in some ways and I am trying to do better every day.

This website is a second one for my practice, I felt I needed to speak out how I want to break away from generic, mostly white views on therapy. I don’t think therapy is the answer for the long waiting lists in the GGZ and the big mental health “crisis” (more to be said about this, maybe later) I think building and sustaining communities, from a stance of intersectionality will make the biggest impact. A lot of oppression is happening again in the world, and it touches all of us, so if we join forces and share what is in our hearts, the human-ness becomes impossible to break.
