I studied Psychology and, from the start, I knew I wanted to work in the clinical field. After finishing my degree I lived for six months in Argentina, where I was able to get closer to other schools of psychology and broaden my way of understanding people.
On my return I took the Master’s in Clinical and Health Psychology while working at a clinic specialising in the treatment of addictions. For several years I supported individual and family processes, worked with crisis situations and learned the importance of the team, of perseverance and of trust in people’s capacity to change. In time I also took on therapeutic coordination duties.
My training in Integrative Psychotherapy brought me closer to a humanistic and holistic perspective. From this approach, I do not work only with the symptom, but with the person as a whole: their story, their relationships, their resources and the moment in life they are going through.
I have also trained in adult attachment, family mediation, prevention and management of suicidal behaviour, bilateral stimulation techniques, solution-focused therapy, coaching and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. This diversity allows me to adapt the support to the needs and goals of each process.
Over the course of my career I have also worked in a public service supporting families in conflict situations, an experience that strengthened my ability to hold complex realities and to understand distress within its context.
I currently support adults in private practice. I feel a deep respect for this profession, which leads me to keep training and reviewing the way I work.
One of the lessons that has stayed with me most is that you should never throw in the towel: we never know at what moment that click may happen that opens up a new possibility.
