Description
I am a licensed Psychologist and have worked as a clinical supervisor for ten years. I work with clients with diverse issues, and my goal is to promote health, hope and healing. A collaborative approach in therapy is essential to empower people to make the necessary changes, especially when daily life becomes challenging. I use different treatment methods depending on the problems that clients bring to counselling. In 2022, I wrote the "Toolbox for Grief and Loss," a book that assists readers with processing the painful emotions of grief.
