Registered Psychotherapist

“A warm-hearted, compassionate psychotherapist committed to your care and confidentiality. My main field of work is trauma, and for that I use modern, science-based approaches, like IFS and EMDR. I also treat relationship problems, emotional dependency, depression and anxiety. ”

About Me

I am a registered psychodynamic therapist working globally via telehealth. I believe that a solid therapeutic alliance can create a thriving field where we can build self-agency, confidence and claim back parts of you that were suppressed or changed by fear and trauma. I help survivors of abuse, couples in conflict, and victims of childhood trauma elaborate and reprocess traumatic events using psychoeducation, IFS (Internal Family Systems) (Parts Work), Ego States and EMDR protocol, including the more gentle EMDR Flash Technique.

Approach

My approach is psychodynamic with emphasis in repetitive patterns and early relational adaptative defences and reactive mechanisms. I am inviting you to embark on a journey with me to find the source of what bothers you, aiming at strengthening your core, increasing self-compassion and self-acceptance, which in turn creates amazing changes in your relationship with yourself and others. My work relies substantially on parts work (IFS) and/or Ego States, Somatic Therapy, and EMDR for the resolution or softening of trauma. PTSD and C-PTSD trained.
