What is psychological therapy?
Psychological therapy is a professional support process where we work together to understand your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
It is a confidential and safe space where you can express yourself freely, explore your difficulties, and develop tools to improve your quality of life.
You don't need to be in crisis to go to therapy. It's an investment in your mental health and well-being , helping you get to know yourself better and live a more fulfilling life.
"Therapy is not a sign of weakness"
It is an act of courage and self-love that allows you to grow and heal.
Therapeutic Approaches
I integrate different evidence-based approaches to offer you personalized support.
01
EMDR
We will heal the symptoms and emotional distress that result from disturbing life experiences.
02
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
We're going to understand the connection between what we think, feel, and do, and how to break those vicious cycles that maintain our problems.
03
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
We will create a rich and meaningful life, accepting the pain that inevitably comes with it. We will foster a greater commitment to healthy and constructive activities that reinforce our values and life goals.
04
Compassion-Focused Therapy
We will cultivate skills of compassion and self-compassion, which helps regulate mood and generate feelings of safety, self-acceptance, and calm.
05
Mindfulness
We will learn to experience the present world to free ourselves from autopilot mode and deal with our emotions.

We will learn to reconnect with your body's natural hunger and satiety signals, leaving behind restrictive diets to build a healthy, free, and conscious relationship with food.

What is the therapeutic process like?
Step 01
Intake
During the intake session, I’ll conduct an in-depth interview to understand your current situation, concerns, and needs. Together, we’ll define your goals for therapy. I’ll then create a personalized treatment plan and send it to you so we can use it as a guide throughout our work together.
Step 02
Intervention
We’ll work together towards your therapeutic goals through weekly or biweekly sessions, using evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs.
Step 03
Evaluation
Every 5 sessions, we’ll review your progress, evaluate what is working, and assess whether we need to adjust your goals or treatment plan.
Step 04
Maintenance & Termination
As you reach your goals, we’ll work towards maintaining your progress and strengthening the tools you’ve developed throughout therapy. Together, we’ll decide whether to conclude therapy or continue with less frequent maintenance sessions.
