In my doctorate, I specialized in Psychology of Family and Couples at the Professional School of Psychology, USA.
 
I hold a Masters’ degree in Art Therapy and a Psychology and Art Bachelor’s degree. I am an ADHD Coach for children, adolescents and adults. I also hold a diploma in Rehabilitation Art. I gained my experience working with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of clinical settings such as schools, hospitals and private clinics.
 
I have been working since 1998 in Netherlands, Singapore, India and Israel, with a wide variety of clients. I was responsible for treating conditions including ADHD; Asperger’s; Autism; emotional difficulties; depression and behavioural problems; eating disorders; relocation and culture adjustment; divorce; and more.
 
I recently moved to Italy, Florence and am in the process of relocating my practice. In the meantime i continue seeing clients online.

In recent years I have been working as a private practitioner with focus on adolescents, adults, couples and families in relocation, expatriation and repatriation, dealing with related challenges; stress, depression, anxiety, its effect on relationships and family members, shift of roles and challenges adopting.  I have conducted various workshops and group activities in this field. 

For my Masters’ degree, I researched Art therapy as a tool to assess and treat relocated families and children. I did my internship in Singapore at Mari Stella kindergarten, working with young children suffering from emotional problems deriving from various personal and environmental challenges such as divorced parents, full time working parents and stress in the education system. 

I later did my second internship, continuing my practice at Raffles Hospital Counselling Centre, where I worked with adults and adolescents on cultural adjustment, eating disorder, etc.
