Being able to be part of one’s person's process of change, helping to alleviate their suffering, is what motivates me as a psychologist. I believe that we all have the potential and vitality to become the best version of ourselves. The therapeutic process can bring transformative experiences, helping the person to live life with meaning, making conscious choices according to their values, and cultivating a compassionate attitude towards their suffering.

I favor evidence-based clinical practice, in which the therapeutic relationship is crucial and is based on pillars such as active listening, empathy, non-judgment, trust and genuine presence..
