Counselling and psychotherapy
licensed psychotherapist
I was born in Barcelona, and moved to San Francisco as a child. At an early age, I discovered what therapy was “first hand”, and instinctively started developing a deep admiration for the discipline. I was given the opportunity to be really looked at, listened to, understood, and cared for at a very deep level. This offered me a new inner and outer perspective, and later in life a conscious desire to assist others.
I began studying psychology at UCSC and finished my Master´s degree back in Barcelona, at Ramon LLull University.
My training is primarily in psychodynamic therapy, and after nearly 3 decades of experience, I would describe myself as a rather eclectic therapist. I appreciate the deep understanding of the psyche that psychoanalytical model holds, and at the same time I like to draw on other methods and perspectives when they provide pragmatic results for daily challenges.
psychodynamic therapy:
The psychodynamic approach coupled with Non-violent Communication (NVC) is extended and adapted using analytical techniques to fit your current needs. This translates into a practical treatment that provides changes in thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Psychotherapy is a collaborative relationship, enabling a safe discarding of old fears and blocks that compromise the quality of our experiences, and how we express ourselves. Progress comes from developing greater awareness and mindfulness in our lives. In psychotherapy we identify and practice observing our inner world, which is the filter that we use to view the world surrounding us. Observing, coupled with the intention and willingness to face everything that arises, is what leads to a state of acceptance. It endows us with the capacity to act, resolve situations and enjoy things more fully. The benefits of becoming more aware go beyond getting rid of symptoms and shedding tension. They are also to live more consciously, which is a way of saying that we act foremost with our hearts.
