About me
I am a certified psychoanalytic therapist with extensive experience guiding individuals through transformative life journeys. I hold degrees in both Psychology and Violin Performance from the University of Costa Rica.
In addition to my therapeutic experience, I am fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, and proficient in sign language for the deaf.
As a professional violinist, coupled with my own life challenges, I have developed a heightened sensitivity and a deeper understanding of the complexities of human emotions and the struggles we encounter. This combination enables me to bring profound empathy and insight to my therapeutic practice.
I am currently based in Europe, where I have deepened my understanding of cultural differences, enriching my professional practice.

Approach
As a clinical psychoanalyst, my approach focuses on helping individuals uncover unconscious patterns that influence their emotions and behaviors. By exploring these hidden aspects, clients gain deeper self-awareness, leading to personal growth and emotional healing.
I create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their inner world. Each therapy process is tailored to the individual, emphasizing the importance of the therapist-client relationship in fostering meaningful change.
Drawing from my diverse background, I take a 360 degrees view of emotional well-being, helping clients break free from emotional blocks and achieve greater fulfillment and balance.
