Approach
My therapeutic style is integrative and focused on the individuality of each client, combining techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR and Motivational Interviewing to promote meaningful and sustainable change. I work collaboratively, creating a safe space where clients can explore their challenges, gain self-awareness and develop effective strategies to cope with their difficulties.
In practice, I use CBT to help identify and modify dysfunctional thought patterns, EMDR to process traumatic memories and unblock emotions, and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen motivation and self-confidence in change. My approach is empathetic, structured and goal-oriented, always respecting the pace and needs of each person. My focus is to support clients in regaining emotional balance and achieving greater well-being and autonomy in their journey of personal growth.
