PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
More than 10 years ago, I began my professional practice as a child psychologist. At the beginning of my career, I worked with children, and currently I specialize in working with adolescents and adults.
For me, psychotherapy is a way to improve quality of life, support emotional recovery, and help uncover each person’s inner potential, enabling them to cope independently with life’s challenges and grow as individuals.
