About me
The first session is just half price and after it there's no compromise at all. This is for you to try out, for us to meet and see how we feel working with each other.
I am trained in psychology and anthropology in the University of Granada (Spain). I am passionate of psychology and philosophy and I am always trying to educate myself doing masters, courses or studying by myself. I am a very open minded person, flexible and adaptable to the different objectives of my clients but also able to guide and advice once the root of the problem is identified. I believe that an open and trustful communication is one of the biggest part of the therapy and therefore I always try to treat my patients warmly and with respect but with a firm and professional position. Lately I am incorporating to my praxis third generation techniques focused on working with the body to help mainly in cases of anxiety, depression or body disphoria, using breathing, body work and massage techniques.

#crisisresponsetherapists
Special donation based support regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict.
I am very aware about how the social problems may affect the individual's life. Of course, sometimes is a combination of factors which can be maintained for a long period in the lifetime of the patients. I focus on treating both the symptoms and the causes of the problem. Therefor, I find much more successful to combine different psychological and philosophical perspectives in addition to using physical techniques (such as massage and breathing). I like to bring mature and deep socratic discussions into the sessions which can be very empowering for the patient and a strong base for the improvement and the professional-patient relationship. I am very open to try different approaches and adapt to the life style and beliefs of my clients.
· I offer special support and accompaniment in complexes and sometimes complicated processes such as:
- abortion
- grief
- sexual identity exploration-definition-change
- migration
· Another are of work that I do is the support to family and friends who has no directly psychological or social issues but are affected by they beloved ones. This work is not following a therapeutic structure, but is more focused on creating and safe and warm space to put out all the difficulties related with the care of situations sucha as a: dependant person, elder people, children, friends/family member/couple who is going to any hard psychological process, friends/family member/couple of any person diagnosed with several mental issues (such as any eating disorder, depression, psichotic disorder, etc).
· Since I am very aware about the connection between the brain and every other part of the body, I also offer body work sessions, which are mainly focused on massage, self massage, mindfullness and the work of therapeutic body points that we can work separately or in relation with any other psychological demand.
