As a child and adolescent therapist, I am dedicated to supporting young people and their families in cultivating greater life satisfaction and a richer quality of living.
My clinical and academic journey has consistently drawn me to integrative frameworks that reach beyond functional outcomes to engage with the existential and human dimensions of life. It was in this search that I first encountered the Model of Occupational Wholeness (MOW). I was deeply inspired by its emphasis on autonomy, human agency, and choice, balanced with responsibility as a core dimension of existence. What I value most is how the MOW deepens awareness of human Being while inviting both therapists and clients into reflection, accountability, and conscious becoming.
In my therapeutic work with children and adolescents, I often reflect on how existential and psychological theories can be meaningfully translated into lived, everyday experiences. The MOW provides a coherent yet flexible framework for addressing essential questions such as Being, responsibility, self-awareness, and wholeness in ways that resonate with young people. Its core dimensions — Doing, Being, Belonging, and Becoming — shed new light on developmental pathways in childhood and adolescence, while its dialogical and visual tools create opportunities for fostering autonomy, and self-reflection.
My aspiration is to further explore how the MOW can be adapted and applied in child and adolescent contexts — not only as a therapeutic model but also as a means of empowering families and communities. I believe this approach holds significant potential to guide young people toward deeper self-understanding and to support them in aligning their actions, responsibilities, and aspirations within the broader fabric of their lives, ultimately enabling them to experience a fuller sense of wholeness and existential fulfillment.
