Psychotherapy as a vocation called me in my early 30s - a paradigm shift, resulting from a series of personal breakdowns, breakthroughs, and ultimately, personal discovery.

Wanting to please, I indeed followed, yet uncovered greater fulfillment exploring the architecture of the human psyche and mind. Having painstakingly changed course, my gratitude never expired and only keeps me inspired to provide support to others.
