About me

I am a psychologist with over 10 years of experience assisting adults, children and adolescents. My academic background includes the ACT Institute (Madrid) and specific training with Paul Gilbert (UK), Rick Hanson (USA), and Gonzalo Brito (Chile). I am continuously studying and practicing Buddhism with Mingyur Rinpoche through Tergar.

I give lectures and courses on difficult times, psychological resources (e.g. mindfulness, compassion, defusion), psychopathologies (e.g. anxiety, depression, mood disorder), burnout in the corporate environment, guidance for parents, neurodevelopmental conditions, and typical development for teachers.

I have a degree in business administration too. I have worked in large companies, but felt the need for a life in which I could more freely express my creativity and interconnection with other people. I have been practicing dance, yoga (I'm instructor too), painting, drawing, and meditation. I love to travel, walk in parks, watch movies, hike, and observe nature. Doing all this in the company of my sons, Gabriel and George, and my dog, JoCostela.
