About me

I am a psychologist from Peru, currently living in the Netherlands, specializing in online therapy for adults facing emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, and adaptation to life transitions. With years of experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds and cultures, I understand the importance of personalizing therapy to each individual’s unique experiences and personal growth goals.

Having experienced the journey of being an expat myself, I am familiar with the complexities of adapting to a new culture, finding a sense of belonging, and managing the emotional challenges that come with such decision. My own experiences, combined with a strong foundation in Gestalt therapy, allow me to provide meaningful support to those who are also adjusting to life away from home.

Through a compassionate and open approach, I aim to create a safe space where clients can explore their emotions, build resilience, and reconnect with their authentic selves. Whether you are seeking support for specific mental health challenges or guidance through a transitional period, I am here to help you develop the tools and self-awareness needed for personal growth and well-being.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Gestalt therapyRecommended for those who want to focus on the present and take responsibility for their feelings and actions to promote personal growth.
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.

In a first session with me, you can expect a warm and safe space where we can begin to explore what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about your current concerns, your personal history, and what you hope to achieve. I’ll introduce some of the techniques we might use, but we’ll always move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. This initial conversation helps us create a foundation of trust and allows me to personalize my approach to suit your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll build a pathway toward self-awareness, healing, and meaningful change.

My therapeutic style is based in Gestalt principles, where the client is seen as a whole being: mind, body, behavior, emotions, etc. In our work together, I encourage you to explore all that, to understand how each part connects and influences your experience in the present. To support this process, I integrate various tools such as art, visualization, and somatic awareness exercises, helping you connect more deeply with your inner self and bring hidden emotions or insights to the surface.
