About me

I’m a mother, wife, daughter, immigrant. Psychologist and Psychotherapist. I dedicate my days to these roles and to supporting people around the world as they navigate their own emotional processes.

Living far from the place where I grew up and building a multicultural family continues to teach me, every day, about the power of communication, boundaries, love, freedom, self-awareness, respect, and curiosity. Concepts I invite you to explore together in our work during sessions.

I speak:

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.
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.

I’m a psychologist with a humanistic and existential approach, deeply committed to creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My work is grounded in the belief that we all carry within us the capacity for growth, healing, and transformation — even in the midst of pain, confusion, or major life transitions.

Before being a therapist, I’m a human being. It's the way I understand human suffering that allows me to approach what you’re going through: from my own humanity. I think deeply about my clients and the things they’re going through. You might hear me say things like, “You know, I was thinking about you the other day and wanted to share this…” I might also bring up personal stories, or examples that have come to me, that could shine a light on a place where you feel stuck — or simply help you feel less alone.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, love, loss, identity, or just trying to find your footing again — I’m here to support you and offer you my ears, heart and expertise.

Experience

8 years in practice

While I was in Colombia, I used to work with victims and war victims. Once I decided to open my own online private practice 8 years ago, I've been working with people form different backgrounds and corners of the world in my own independent practice.
