She gained professional experience through volunteering and working with children with developmental difficulties, particularly in the areas of sensory integration and the development of functional skills.

She continuously develops her professional skills to ensure the application of modern occupational therapy approaches in her clinical practice.

She places strong emphasis on an individualized approach, fostering a child’s abilities through play and encouraging the development of functional skills essential for everyday life. She considers collaboration and communication with parents to be a vital part of the therapeutic process, helping to ensure the effectiveness of therapy and the successful transfer of acquired skills into the child’s daily environment.
