My Experience
Since I finished my Psychology degree, I have worked in various fields of Clinical Psychology and Health while continuing my education. I have had the opportunity to work in hospitals in the External Clinical Psychology Consultation area, Foundations for Families with Addiction Problems, University Psychological Care Services and Psychology Offices.
These experiences have allowed me to come into contact with the complex and extraordinary reality of our emotional world with people of different ages, contexts and individual characteristics, where I have grown with each of them but above all I have marveled with all that young children and adults can achieve when they see their potential and their path clearly.
My approach and philosophy
I have observed that to be human is to be able to experiment, learn and change even in the most difficult situations and it is very gratifying to be part of it.
Psychological therapy consistes of integrating in a harmonious way our experiences with our feelings, emotions, actions, thoughts and physical reactions according to a personal objective that is mediated by our history and expectations.
For me, the therapeutic link, empathic listening and scientific observation are the paths that allow us to understand the cause behind the symptom and advance the achievement of our objectives. As each person has their own context, I focus on individual differences depending on their circumstances.
In order to address psychological therapy from a holistic perspective, my focus is on Contextual Psychology where various third generation therapies are applied. These have a scientific and integrative basis for people with approaches that have proven more effective such as Cognitive Behavioural therapy.
