In my past I have lived in different countries, including France, Italy, Libya, Argentina and Monte Carlo. The different experiences and cultures have shaped me as an individual and have given me a broader perspective on life and on the challenges that everyone can face in his life. I also learned the importance of cultural context.
I have been living and working in the Netherlands since 2000, and have been working in the health sector since 2004.
As a psychologist, I have an eclectic approach: I use different techniques or methodologies, always tailored to suit the individual and their needs. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Schema Therapy, Voice Dialogue techniques and EMDR in case of trauma treatment.
I speak Dutch, English, Spanish and Italian fluently and work with locals as well as with expats.
My specialties include:
Mood and anxiety disorders
Stress and burnout
ADHD - ADD
OCD
Trauma
Personality problems
Adjustment Problems
Life coaching (career, decisions, etc.)
