About me
Do you feel like you're your own obstacle? If you often get frustrated for not achieving what you set out to do, have difficulty expressing what you feel (anxiety, stress, life crises), or constantly compare yourself to others, I can support you on a path toward greater self-understanding and emotional freedom.
In addition to my private individual practice, my experience also includes facilitating groups and working as a tutor in Gestalt Therapy training programs. This allows me to offer a deeper perspective on personality patterns and how to transform them so you can recover your vital energy and direct it toward your goals.
My approach focuses not only on understanding what is happening to you but also on releasing the emotions that limit you and creating new ways to connect with yourself and others. If you're ready to move beyond limiting patterns and live with more clarity and confidence, contact me for a first session and let’s begin your journey of transformation.

Approach
This is a psycho-humanistic therapy aimed at uncovering our most authentic “way of being” by bringing awareness to our most automatic behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. It’s an integral and holistic approach, as it sees the person as a whole—body, emotion, and mind.
Core principles:
-
Here and now: Gestalt therapy focuses on how what is happening manifests in the present moment, emphasizing the relationship between therapist and client.
-
Awareness: Within this relationship, moments of awareness emerge—especially through nonverbal and emotional “language”—helping the person gradually understand how they have built their character and personality.
-
Responsibility: Clients are encouraged to take personal responsibility for their actions, choices, and experiences. The aim is to avoid projecting responsibility onto others and instead take control of one’s own life.
-
Contact: The therapy observes how people make and break contact with their environment and with others. This contact cycle includes the phases of sensation, figure (focus of attention), and withdrawal. Understanding this cycle helps people recognize their relational patterns and explore new ways of connecting.
How will we do this?
STEP 1
We’ll seek to understand what’s happening to you—how your suffering or blockage has a logical meaning. What you're going through happens for a reason and has purpose. Understanding is the first step toward calm. That’s why this first phase relates to the MIND.
STEP 2
As we begin to understand it, we’ll give space to what it triggers—to the pain it causes and the difficulty it brings. This second phase involves EMOTION.
STEP 3
Once we’ve understood and allowed the previously blocked emotion, we have more freedom and confidence to move toward what we truly want. In this final phase, we focus on intentional BODY-based action.
