I am a child psychologist who believes that play is a child’s natural language. Through play, children are able to express their inner experiences, emotions, and difficulties that they often cannot yet put into words.

​

I graduated in Psychology in 2019 from Paneuropean University in Bratislava. During my studies, I gained professional experience in both clinical and counseling settings – at the Department of Psychiatry in the Faculty Hospital in Trenčín, at the family center Klbko, as well as through work with children in kindergartens, summer camps, and outdoor schools.

​

My professional journey gradually led me to a deeper understanding of the child’s world. While working as a psychologist in a private kindergarten, I had the opportunity to observe children on a daily basis – how they play, communicate, and process their emotions and difficulties through play. It was there that I fully realized the healing potential of natural child-led play.

​

Since 2019, I have worked at the Clinic of Child Psychiatry at the National Institute of Children’s Diseases, where I supported children with a wide range of mental health difficulties – including anxiety, depression, behavioral disorders, OCD, eating disorders, and crisis situations. This experience allowed me to work under supervision and gain extensive practice in psychological assessment and multidisciplinary collaboration.

​

Between 2020 and 2025, I worked for five years as a psychologist at the Center for Counseling and Prevention, providing services to children and adolescents aged 3 to 18. My work focused primarily on the assessment of learning disabilities, attention disorders, giftedness, and career guidance. I also provided counseling for parents, children, and school professionals, and participated in the implementation of preventive programs focused on mental health.

​

In 2022, I took part in a nationwide research project on language comprehension in children aged 4–6, contributing to the validation and development of a new diagnostic method. In 2025, I participated in a research project conducted in cooperation with the Research Institute of Child Psychology and Pathopsychology, focused on the validation and standardization of diagnostic tools assessing mental health in secondary school students.

​

I have completed psychotherapeutic training in Play Therapy and Filial Therapy and continue to further develop my professional skills through ongoing education. I am a member of the Slovak-Czech Play Therapy Association and the International Consortium of Play Therapy Associations, ensuring that my work meets professional and ethical standards.
