Her focus is on providing professional care and support to individuals grappling with various mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, addictions, substance abuse, and trauma.

Her ultimate goal is to motivate clients toward congruence, where their thoughts and emotions find balance, enabling them to coexist harmoniously with their external environment.
