Since 2002, I have worked with children and adolescents in summer camps, educational institutions, and schools. I provide psychological support for upbringing processes, conduct workshops, masterclasses, and preventive programs. Since 2018, I have been a practicing psychologist in a school setting. Since 2021, I have collaborated with international organizations, offering psychosocial support to children, parents, and military personnel, as well as working with trauma survivors. I have been in private practice since 2023.
