About me

As a teenager I was quite unhappy with my life and didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. Thus, I started therapy. My former psychotherapist helped me to find out what I really wanted to do in life and to follow these dreams. I tried out new things, travelled to new places, and did lots of things outside of my comfort zone. I learned to life in the moment. He supported me to walk the 'Camino de Santiago' and then, to move abroad and study psychology. Hence, I did my bachelor and master in clinical psychology in the Netherlands. Now, I want to support other people on their way to a good life.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
DBT: Dialectical behaviour therapyRecommended for those who want to learn skills to manage intense emotions and improve their relationships, especially if they feel easily overwhelmed.
MindfulnessMindfulness is the process of maintaining a purposeful moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surrounding environment.

In my master's degree, I took a course named 'CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy)' and I like to use this therapeutic approach. Many studies have shown the effectiveness in CBT within several disorders such as depression, anxiety, etc. For example, in case of a depression, CBT suggests 'behavioral activation' and for people with anxiety it suggests 'exposure'. Both, exposure and behavioral activation have helped lots of people suffering from depression and anxiety. In my internships I could observe the positive effects of CBT. However, I also use other methods like EFT (emotion focused therapy) and skills from DBT (dialectical behavior therapy).
