How I started
At the age of 15, I began attending support groups, which played a crucial role in helping me overcome my depression and anxiety. These self-help groups were truly life-saving, marking the start of my healing journey and the discovery of my life’s purpose.
While working at a large corporation and developing professionally, I realized that my personal healing process needed to continue. I felt a deep desire to learn how to alleviate not only my own pain but also the suffering of others. This led me to pursue a master’s degree in mental health, a decision that sparked my passion for therapy and personal growth.
Upon completing my master’s, I began working as a mental health therapist. At the same time, I pursued various coaching courses and certifications, both in personal and business development. It was during this time that I discovered holistic therapy and its powerful, transformative effects.
Through these experiences, I developed techniques and tools that have allowed me to help individuals—often those who feel «unlabeled» or overlooked—achieve meaningful and lasting results.
Helping others is my passion, I have been in this field for more than 13 years.
I wake up every day looking forward to helping my clients and the community.
I volunteer in different organizations because I love working in the community and I have an opportunity to talk about mental health and the importance of healthy relationships.
