As a proponent of drama therapy, I believe in the power of storytelling and role-play. Together, we'll use creativity to explore emotions and scenarios, fostering deeper insights and healing.

For those feeling the weight of societal expectations, we can discuss gender roles in society and find ways to live authentically within—or outside—those bounds.

Anxiety is a common struggle. With specialized anxiety relief exercises and techniques for reducing environmental anxiety, we’ll work to calm your mind and heart.

Incorporating mindfulness in daily routines and mindfulness meditation, we'll create moments of peace and presence, enhancing your overall well-being.
