However,her true passion lies in family systems, attachment and the ecosystem of relationships. She has dedicated her career to understanding and working with the intricate dynamics of families and relationships. To deepen her knowledge and skills, she have undergone extensive training in couples therapy, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. One approach that has truly captivated her is Stan Tatkin's PACT therapy, which centers around the concept of secure attachment.

On a personal note, she is happily married, celebrating over 20 years of partnership. Together, with her spouse raising two incredible teenagers, which has provided a unique understanding of the challenges and joys of navigating family life.
