Her training in Person-Centered Psychotherapy focuses on developing a therapeutic relationship based on authenticity, empathy, and unconditional acceptance of the individual. She studied the principles of Carl Rogers' approach, with an emphasis on the importance of self-actualization and the personal development of the client. Through theoretical training and practical experience, she acquired skills in applying this non-directive therapeutic method, aiming to empower individuals to discover their authentic selves and find balance in their lives.
