Born in Mongolia in 1978 as an ethic Ukrainian, I got around with my parents a lot and grew up multi-culturally, studied in Kyiv and completed my PhD in Vienna. I have been living in Austria for more than 20 years with my family and encounter people of various walks of life on a daily basis, be it that they have a different heritage, belonging or view of the world. Human beings come to me with diverse challenges and problems that they experience during their life journey. All of these people that I meet are people I cherish and accompany for a little while on their way.

My first occupation was when I worked in the international business world for almost 20 years, both in management positions and then self employed as a management consultant. Then in around 2008, I also began to work as a coach and university lecturer. However, the more authentic and self-aware I became, the more it became apparent that it was an impossible task for me to remain in working relationships or life situations that were clearly not conducive and in no way fulfilled me.

In 2015, I finally found my dream occupation and embarked on my journey to psychotherapy. Which fulfils me to my core on a daily basis.
