About me
I began my education in counseling, therapy, and coaching back in 2016. Since then, I have continued to deepen my knowledge through specialized trainings and courses offered by respected national and international institutions, including the REBT Affiliated Training Center of the Albert Ellis Institute in Serbia and the Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy in Israel.
Over time, my curiosity about psychology, along with a guiding sense of purpose, has naturally led me to see counseling and therapy not simply as a profession, but as my true vocation.
Living and studying abroad has also played an important role in shaping both my personal and professional path. These experiences broadened my perspective and allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of the emotional and practical challenges that expatriates often face.

Needing a space to slow down and get to know yourself better?
My approach to working with clients is individualized, aiming for a profound understanding of each person’s history, experiences and perspectives. I provide empathic guidance that integrates principles from Logotherapy and Existential Analysis, CBT and ACT. At the beginning of the process the emphasis is on understaing better your current context, coping mechanisms and challenges. From there, we explore and work on the unhelpful patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, that may have been preventing you from recognizing and realizing your values, strengths and talents. In light of my therapeutical approaches, I see each problem not merely as an obstacle, but as an invitation to personal discovery and growth.
Some of the topics I address include the following: anxiety, stress and burnout, intrusive and obsessive thoughts, impostor feelings, perfectionism, procrastination, boredom, indecisiveness, emotional difficulties, grief, breakups, self-confidence, personal development, authenticity, life's transitions, international romantic relationships and relational issues.
On It’s Complicated Platform I work with clients in both English and Spanish and have spent several years now supporting individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Finally, If you would first like to hear me discussing my approach, you can visit the Media Gallery section on my profile. The first 2:25 minutes are in English, and the remainder is in Spanish.
Disclaimer: I am not a psychologist specialized in acute crisis intervention. If you are experiencing an acute crisis or feel at risk of harm, please contact local emergency services or a trained crisis support professional in your area immediately.
