Pre-consultation

If you have never experienced individual counseling with a psychologist before, it is recommended to schedule a free 30-minute session. The purpose of this session is to help the client clarify the path of specialized counseling tailored to their specific needs and to become familiar with their counselor and their approach.

About Me

I am a clinical psychologist. Here, we sit not to endure additional pain but to adapt and build the inner resources needed to overcome life's difficulties. In psychotherapy, a deep understanding of ourselves is key. It is the key to doors that have remained closed for years, behind which desires, needs, and emotions wait for the opportunity to be expressed—an opportunity without judgment, with respect, to lead relief and better relations with ourselves and others.
