My expertise encompasses a range of areas, including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management, coping skills, and self-acceptance. For the past 13 years, I have worked within educational settings, providing me with unique insights into the challenges faced by students, parents, and educators. My approach is client-focused, relaxed, and compassionate, fostering a comfortable environment where individuals can express themselves and pursue their goals at their own pace.
