Professional experience
I have been a practicing psychologist for 9 years, working with children, adolescents, and adults. My work focuses on helping clients find inner balance, build self-confidence, overcome life challenges, and explore self-discovery and identity. Currently, I work as an early intervention specialist, supporting families with young children, while also maintaining a private practice where I create a warm, safe environment for clients.
