Formerly a practicing and licensed psychotherapist, I transitioned to focus on acting and creative expression as the core of my life. Through acting, I discovered a profound channel for understanding life and personal growth. My work integrates psychology, creativity, and coaching to help individuals reconnect with their artistic calling
