One of the most important aspects in the therapeutic process is the relationship and connection established between the therapist and the person who comes for consultation. I believe that part of therapeutic change is found in creating a safe relationship. Therefore, I will try to accompany you by creating the warmest and safest space for you, where you can feel free to express what you want, always with respect, empathy and acceptance.

Despite having specialization in systemic therapy and EMDR, I consider it essential to adapt the therapy to each person. Because each process is different, and each person is unique. Therefore, the intervention will become a team effort in which, after having listened carefully to everything that worries you and makes you uncomfortable, we will jointly define the objectives to pursue.

My work focus mainly follows two lines. On the one hand, we will work on the current problems in order to achieve stability in the present, through learning different resources and skills. And, on the other hand, we will investigate and try to understand the causes or reasons that have led to the current situation, since for me it is essential to “realize” and understand in order to heal.

All this, always respecting the needs and rhythms of each person.
