Professional experience
Over 5 years of experience working with parents and children, offering individual sessions and online consultations. Designing and conducting training sessions and workshops on child-rearing and parent-child relationships.
Areas of focus
- Parental insecurity, guilt, burnout, and emotional exhaustion. Sleep disturbances and disordered eating in children. Psychological aspects of weaning. Child tantrums, aggression, fears, low self-esteem, shyness, and social withdrawal. Gentle adaptation to kindergarten, transitioning to a separate bed (room), potty training, and welcoming a new sibling. Helping children cope with difficult life events—moving, divorce, or loss of a loved one. Addressing unwanted behaviors like fighting or repetitive movements. School adaptation and improving academic engagement. I’m here to help if you feel disconnected from your child or struggling with parenting challenges.
