Combining modalities such as mindfulness and motivational interviewing, I offer a holistic approach. Authenticity, creativity, and care guide my sessions, empowering clients to rethink perspectives and achieve personal growth.

Interests

Outside of my work, I love to travel, especially when it means visiting my children and exploring new places with them. I also enjoy DIY projects, whether it's home improvement, or finding creative ways to solve problems around the house. And, of course, I’m always happy spending time with my cats, who bring a lot of joy and playfulness into my daily life. These interests help me recharge and keep me grounded, giving me a balance between my professional and personal life.
