Hello, My name is Keti, and I appreciate to have an opportunity to introduce myself to you. I have always been passionate about helping people. I dedicated years of education and practice to achieve the professionalism necessary to facilitate positive change in those who seek help. I believe everyone has a right to guide their life and find individual ways to overcome difficulties. For this reason, I use an approach where your needs, unique circumstances, and your drive toward growth will be the primary healing tools.
