Since I began my career as a psychologist, I have been interested in understanding how we develop, how we build our way of relating to the world, and what we need in order to feel understood and supported. Over the years, my professional path has led me to work with children, adolescents, adults and families, discovering the importance of looking beyond the difficulties and understanding each person in their uniqueness.
I have had the opportunity to live and work in different countries, such as Spain, the United States and Australia, supporting people and families from different cultures and realities. These experiences have broadened my way of understanding psychology and have taught me that there is no single way to grow, learn, communicate or relate to others.
Over my career I have worked as a school psychologist and in therapeutic centres, supporting emotional, behavioural, social and learning difficulties. I have also carried out cognitive and developmental assessments, and I have worked closely with families, teachers and other professionals. This work has taught me that, to understand what is happening to a person, it is important to also take into account their relationships and their environment.
My training in Psychology, Systemic Family Therapy, Art Therapy and Expressive Therapies allows me to bring together different tools in the support I offer. I am currently continuing to deepen my knowledge of child development and autism, a field that holds an important place in my practice. I am especially interested in neurodivergence and in how we can adapt environments and our ways of relating so that each person can develop from their own abilities and needs.
Over the years I have created and run emotional and social skills groups for children and adolescents, including participants with autism. Play, art, music, movement and Lego building are some of the tools I use to facilitate emotional expression, communication and relationships. I believe that, especially in childhood, not everything that matters can be put into words.
At Calma de Ser, I now support children and adolescents with their emotional, social and neurodevelopmental difficulties, and also their families through parenting guidance. I also support adults going through times of anxiety, stress, grief, relationship difficulties or personal change, adapting the therapeutic work to their needs and their moment in life.
My experience has taught me that, very often, behind a worrying behaviour there is a need we have not yet managed to understand. That is why it is not only about changing behaviours, but about approaching with curiosity what each person is going through and how we can help them feel safer, more connected and more capable.
I see psychotherapy as an encounter in which we build new possibilities together. A space of respect, creativity and trust, where each person can discover their resources and where families find support to grow alongside their children, without losing sight of the fact that each one has their own pace and their own way of being.
