"I am pleased to be a part of a dynamic team, where I have the opportunity to grow, develop, and gain new experience and inspiration. My work fulfills me due to its meaningfulness and opportunity to create and cater to clients´ needs. In the counseling process, I like to use innovative and experiential methods that support spontaneity and better self-knowledge for the clients. Accompanying a client on the path of self-knowledge, discovery and potential development is an adventure for me, because each client is unique, and the path is always unpredictable and original.”
