About me

I'm a passionate therapist with a background in psychology, anthropology, pedagogy, and systemic therapy. My studies and life experiences in different countries have equipped me with valuable insights into overcoming life's challenges and reshaping unhelpful patterns.

As a mother of two wonderful children from diverse cultural backgrounds, I've learned firsthand about the joys and complexities of family life. This journey has deepened my understanding and empathy for individuals and couples facing their own unique struggles.

I'm here to offer support and guidance as you navigate life's ups and downs, helping you tap into your strengths and create healthier connections. Let's work together to find your path to fulfilment and resilience."
