Approach
Treatment Approaches
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
Gestalt therapyRecommended for those who want to focus on the present and take responsibility for their feelings and actions to promote personal growth.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
As a Gestalt psychotherapist, I work from an existential and humanistic perspective, offering an approach that is deeply personal, creative, and flexible. Every therapeutic path is unique, shaped by the spontaneity and connection of our relationship. I tailor my interventions to the individual, co-creating a process that is truly one-of-a-kind.
In my practice, I adopt a nonjudgmental and non-pathologizing approach. I believe that even the most difficult or painful symptoms are often the best solution a person can find at that moment to cope with life’s challenges. Rather than aiming to “eliminate” symptoms through standard techniques, my focus is on understanding them, engaging with them, and gradually helping integrate and transform them.
Psychotherapy is a journey into your inner world. Together, we explore the ways you interpret and relate to the world around you, uncovering patterns, beliefs, and relational habits that influence your life.
Engaging in therapy gives you a space to express your experiences, to reflect on your emotions, and to gain clarity on aspects of yourself that may have been unclear or confusing. It’s an opportunity to better understand yourself, your relationships, and to discover new ways of being fully present in your life.
