About me

Psychologist with experience in clinical settings. I have a special interest in addictive behaviours, psychopathology, psychological assessment, self-harming behaviours and suicidal ideation. I believe in the importance of a careful eye that goes beyond symptoms and a clinical presence that is sensitive to each person's rhythm and uniqueness.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral 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.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
As a clinical psychologist, I adopt a person-centred approach, creating a safe and welcoming space where everyone feels heard and understood. I believe that every human being has the internal resources to bring about meaningful change. My role is to support and guide this process of self-discovery and growth. I integrate evidence-based strategies with empathic listening, adapting techniques to each person's needs and goals. I work flexibly, valuing both emotional exploration and the implementation of practical changes in daily life. The therapeutic relationship is based on trust and collaboration, helping people to understand patterns of thinking and behaviour, develop coping skills and promote emotional well-being, always respecting each person's pace.
