Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Gestalt therapyRecommended for those who want to focus on the present and take responsibility for their feelings and actions to promote personal growth.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gestalt Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. During our first session, we will explore what brings you to therapy and identify the type of support that is most likely to have the greatest impact based on your individual needs. Together, we will work to better understand your thoughts, emotions, and relational patterns in order to develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others, and ultimately create a more fulfilling life.

Experience

Over the past 8 years, I've worked with individuals and couples through psychotherapy and executive career coaching, helping them understand the patterns shaping their thoughts, emotions, and relationships, build practical tools, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I also bring over 10 years of experience partnering with tech companies, leading wellness teams as a strategic business partner, connecting C-level, tech, and product talent with exceptional opportunities.

Education

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana with a focus on Gestalt Therapy, as well as a Postgraduate Degree in Human Processes and Career Development from the same university.

Additionally, I’m certified in several transformational and evidence-based methods that support deep emotional healing, mindset shifts, and personal growth:

  • Gestalt Therapy — Present-Centered Emotional Awareness & Integration

  • MAP — Mindset Alignment Process

  • EFT — Emotional Freedom Technique

  • Quantum Collapse Process — Balance & Alignment

  • Psych-K — Rewiring Limiting Beliefs

  • Shadow Process — Shadow Integration & Wholeness

  • Focusing — Body-Centered Psychotherapy

  • Healing Touch — Biofield Therapy

  • Compassion Key — Clearing Deeply Engrained Patterns & Imprints

  • Human Processes & Career Development — Personal & Professional Growth Strategies

These approaches are designed to support emotional regulation, deepen self-awareness, process unresolved experiences, and help individuals and couples develop healthier patterns, beliefs, and ways of relating, fostering meaningful and lasting psychological change beyond surface-level coping.

To Your Brilliant Future!
