Throughout my academic career, I have diligently honed my skills in trauma-focused therapy. I've cultivated a deep understanding of this area. My research interests primarily centers on developmental psychopathology. I place a special emphasis on the complex relationship between adverse childhood experiences and the etiology of trauma-related disorders, all within a multi-path framework. I am committed to pursuing a doctorate degree, aiming to refine preventive interventions for younger individuals. Additionally, I seek to elevate my proficiency as a specialist for adults confronting trauma-related disorders.
