My therapeutic methods
Education and credentials
EMDR therapy for trauma
In EMDR therapy, the focus is on reprocessing traumatic experiences to reduce their emotional weight and support a healthier adaptation.
The therapy with the strongest scientific support for treating trauma.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
In cognitive behavioral therapy, the focus is on the relationship between what you think, feel, and do. We work to identify automatic thoughts and beliefs that increase anxiety, fear, or low mood, and replace them with more realistic and helpful perspectives.
It is one of the most scientifically supported approaches in psychology and is especially effective for anxiety, depression, and difficulties managing stress.
Practical behavior-change tools
In behavioral work, we focus on the role of learning and habits in your daily life. We review routines, avoidance behaviors, and patterns that maintain your distress, and design concrete steps to change them.
This approach is ideal when you want to modify specific behaviors, create healthier habits, and sustain change over time.

Individual therapy
Individual therapy is a safe and confidential space to talk about what you are going through, without judgment. We work together on your levels of anxiety and stress, the way you talk to yourself, and the situations that currently feel overwhelming. Throughout the process, you gain clarity about your values, your priorities, and how you want to live your life, while developing emotional resources to cope better with everyday challenges.

Workshops and talks for organizations
I design workshops and talks on stress management, emotional well-being, and mental health at work. The goal is to provide practical tools so leaders and teams can detect early signs of strain, communicate more clearly, and take better care of their mental health. These interventions help reduce the risk of burnout, improve the work climate, and support sustainable performance.

Therapy has really helped me overcome some past trauma I had been keeping under a lid for a long time. Now, I feel happier and more confident in my life, and feel like I can walk with my head held high.

Coming from a competitive sports background, the injury that ended up making me give up my career was a hard blow. With therapy, I was able to start building my identity around other things than just sport.
