About me

I am a clinical psychologist, a full member of the OPP (28711), with a degree in clinical psychology from ISPA, and I believe that each person carries within themselves the capacity for transformation. More than interpreting symptoms, my work is about creating a space for genuine human connection, where feelings can be heard without haste and without judgment. A place to think freely, feel safely, and grow with support. If you feel that it's time to take care of yourself — with depth and kindness — I’ll be here to walk alongside you, for as long as it takes and in the direction that feels right for you.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Systemic ApproachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.
Currently, I work with adolescents and adults facing issues such as anxiety, sadness, grief, existential crises, relationships, and other emotionally transitional moments. My approach is rooted in a humanistic perspective, respecting each person's individuality, pace, and truth. Although my academic background is in psychoanalysis, I also have experience in cognitive-behavioral and systemic approaches. Areas of Focus: Anxiety and stress management Depression and lack of motivation Grief and loss Existential or identity crises Relationship difficulties and self-esteem Adolescent transitions Self-awareness and personal development
