Hi! I am a clinical psychologist, with a master's degree in clinical psychology, in personnel selection and I am currently doing a Postgraduate degree in strategic brief therapy. But I think the most important thing is that I understand that as people, we are not perfect, nor should we be! So by our human nature I put judgment aside while still telling the person what they need to hear. I like that patients see the changes so we do a brief survey of how you have been during the week to compare it on a graph. I like what I do, I like people and see how they can make transformations in their lives. I use people's resources a lot and it is important to me to really know them, I have discovered many hobbies because I want to understand the people who serve me. People have more strengths than they think, and entering a therapeutic process is an act of courage to open up to another, of self-care and responsibility with yourself. I can tell you that I have a giant dog that melts me, I live with my boyfriend, I like to read, I really enjoy food, I take a nap in the office and I know emotional pain. I hope to meet you.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy. Brief strategic therapy. I pay a lot of attention to language and how people talk about themselves, so in session I correct the language. Every human being deserves to be treated well, especially by himself. I am clear and informative, I like that the patient understands what is happening to him, I am good at making diagnoses without labeling, every person is more than any label. I am very interested in being effective, otherwise I would not feel good doing this job. I mentioned my specials in my presentation.

What makes me different is that I can identify with the pain and at the same time distance myself or I would not have tools to help you and we would both fall into the pain circuit. I have a lynx eye to see people's strengths and I use them a lot to their advantage. I know the benefits and adverse effects of medications, so I inform my patients who take them so they do not panic. I have my flaws and limitations and I have learned to show them. I do not attend to reasons for consultation that I do not handle, I am honest if I believe that a more expert therapist in that subject is better for you.
