About me
I am a certified psychologist in Amsterdam offering therapy in English and Spanish. I specialize in working with expats and moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands, in 2022, right at the end of the pandemic.
I have lived as an expat in several countries: Germany, Peru, Turkey, and now in the Netherlands. I understand perfectly the challenges that come with moving to another country, such as facing cultural shock, loneliness, and the stress of adapting to a new place.
Learning to manage frustration and uncertainty has become part of my adaptation process.
In my practice, I offer you a compassionate and personalized approach to guide you through the challenges of living abroad.
With over a decade of experience in diverse cultural contexts and 6 years working in my private practice, I have specialized in providing support to individuals living abroad.
I am here to support you in developing resilience and self-compassion so you can flourish and thrive in your new environment.
