Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common, disheartening and limiting human experiences. Lack of hope, energy, motivation, and connectedness takes the joy out of life and makes it survival rather than living.

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common, disheartening and limiting human experiences. Lack of hope, energy, motivation, and connectedness takes the joy out of life and makes it survival rather than living. Everyday stress easily becomes overwhelming and disabling until you take action to bring stress under control. Thinking of death and dying is common - they are attempts to run away and end the suffering. I can guide you through the steps you need to take to control your stress and to recover your motivation to create a fulfilling and meaningful life.
Trauma & PTSD
Depression & Anxiety
Depression & Anxiety
Painful memories often linger around after overwhelming (traumatic) experiences, leaving you feeling irritable, angry, jumpy, and distrustful of others and the world. You may alternate between intense anxiety and vigilance at the one extreme and dark depression and hopeless "who cares" attitude at the other extreme. Old, buried memories c
Painful memories often linger around after overwhelming (traumatic) experiences, leaving you feeling irritable, angry, jumpy, and distrustful of others and the world. You may alternate between intense anxiety and vigilance at the one extreme and dark depression and hopeless "who cares" attitude at the other extreme. Old, buried memories can be triggered and brought back to life by new events and you suddenly change for the worst. I am there for you while you are working through your grief of losing one life and the awareness of building another one to (re)gain your sense of control over your wellbeing.
Cultural Adjustment
Depression & Anxiety
Cultural Adjustment
Leaving your loved ones and all that you have known behind is often conflicting, confusing, and painful, even when you have done that at your own free will in the hope of a brighter future. You think you should be happy but when you close your eyes you feel sad and lonely. Where do you belong?
Or you may find yourself in a cultural "gap"
Leaving your loved ones and all that you have known behind is often conflicting, confusing, and painful, even when you have done that at your own free will in the hope of a brighter future. You think you should be happy but when you close your eyes you feel sad and lonely. Where do you belong?
Or you may find yourself in a cultural "gap" between yourself and your foreign-born-and-raised parents, and you don't see eye-to-eye on your values, expectations in life, and problem solving practices. I can lead you through your journey to a new awareness that integrates the old and safe with the new circumstances in meaningful ways. A new life is a new adventure, but not without challenges.
Single Over 30
Find Yourself in the Movies
Single Over 30
You have come to your 30s – alone. You may or may not miss a partner, prospects for children or stability. Your parents are starting to look funny at you and feeling a bit inpatient with your slow motion. Which then makes you question yourself, “What’s wrong with me?” In a world that is built on marriage and family as "the norm" in develo
You have come to your 30s – alone. You may or may not miss a partner, prospects for children or stability. Your parents are starting to look funny at you and feeling a bit inpatient with your slow motion. Which then makes you question yourself, “What’s wrong with me?” In a world that is built on marriage and family as "the norm" in development and human fulfilment, it's easy to feel ab-normal if you don't get there - or not "in time". Let's discuss these expectations and how they interfere with your own plans for yourself.
Hungarian
Find Yourself in the Movies
Single Over 30
My primary language is Hungarian. If there are any Huns out there wishing to speak to a fellow country person and discuss cultural diversity in their native language, you know where to find me.
(Hungarian notes are to follow here as soon as I can get access to a Hungarian keyboard.)

Movies are not only entertainment to kill time but also the myths of our times that can raise awareness and teach us how to make better decisions. We no longer sit around campfires in cold nights and listen to a wise person teaching us lessons of life as the heroes before us exemplified them. The directors of moving pictures are our story
Movies are not only entertainment to kill time but also the myths of our times that can raise awareness and teach us how to make better decisions. We no longer sit around campfires in cold nights and listen to a wise person teaching us lessons of life as the heroes before us exemplified them. The directors of moving pictures are our story tellers and the actors are our heroes. They can make our internal conflicts visible to us so we can see ourselves in a different light. Life goes on and so does storytelling ... I call on the wisdom of these motion-picture stories (also called cinema-therapy) to help you see yourself from the outside in and gain more awareness of who you are and what paths you are taking.
