Summary

As a graduate in social sciences with a keen interest in mental health issues, I'm deeply devoted to help individuals in their healing journey through professional psychosocial support. Aspiring to be an art therapist, my approach revolves around alternative methods centered on body movement, mindfulness meditation, fostering a flow state, and incorporating the vibrations of voice.
