CBT Psychotherapist

“Profesional en psicología con experiencia trabajando con adolescentes y adultos.”

About Me

As a CBT Psychotherapist, I work with adolescents and adults navigating life's challenges. My aim is to help you understand your thoughts and feelings. We will explore practical CBT tools together to build resilience and find clearer ways forward. This approach, grounded in psychology, offers a supportive space for you to develop lasting coping skills.

Approach

Con mi trayectoria en psicología, planteo sesiones que equilibran estructura y un espacio seguro para explorar pensamientos y emociones desde lo práctico. Trabajo desde Bello en español y también ofrezco atención online para facilitar continuidad según tus ritmos. Durante las sesiones, construimos metas claras apoyadas en evaluaciones, practicamos técnicas aplicables y te propongo ejercicios cortos entre encuentros para consolidar cambios. Esta forma de trabajar suele ayudar a personas jóvenes y adultas que quieren entender su ansiedad o avanzar frente a dificultades de aprendizaje y desarrollo.
