About me
Hi there! I'm Carol, a therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of emotional and behavioral challenges. My passion lies in providing a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel understood and empowered.
With a background in Neuropsychology and Clinical Psychology, I employ evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address a wide range of mental health concerns, from anxiety and depression to relationship issues and stress management. My approach is holistic, focusing not only on alleviating symptoms but also on understanding and addressing the underlying issues that contribute to distress. Having completed my advanced studies in The Netherlands, and living in 5 countries in my lifetime, I bring a rich understanding of cultural nuances and diverse perspectives to my practice. My experience working with clients from various backgrounds enables me to tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the unique needs of each individual.
I have experience working with people from various walks of life, and I believe in tailoring therapy to fit each person's unique needs. Whether you're dealing with personal struggles, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I am here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Let’s work together to create lasting change and achieve the fulfilling life you deserve. Your mental health is my priority, and I am committed to providing a compassionate and effective therapeutic experience.

Approach
Rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and a holistic perspective, my approach is both comprehensive and culturally sensitive. Growing up in a South American culture while living in the West has endowed me with a unique ability to navigate and understand diverse cultural backgrounds. I utilize CBT to address negative thought patterns, ACT to promote mindfulness and acceptance, and a holistic approach to consider all aspects of well-being, ensuring a personalized and effective therapeutic experience.
