My Expert Service

We use to have hard times whenever we are faced by difficulties that challenge our ego. Most of the time, we tend to avoid facing these challenges or we do deal with them in destructive ways, mainly because of not having learned more assertive functional ways to take care of ourselves, relationships and circumstances in life. My approach is focused on promoting your insight about why you think, feel and react the way you do, to support you to take advantage of your own skills and potential and to guide you on taking care of your emotional needs and wounds that are not allowing you to mindfully and gently take good care of your life and your relationships with others. I do take into account exploring and working on the issues affecting your mood and functioning, and facilitating the learning of personal tools that would allow you to ventilate, understand and process feelings, as well as to promote concrete changes in your life. You could expect to receive sincere, ethical, assertive and emphatic support even in those moments when denial and avoidance are your worst enemies. I will challenge your ego and promote the awakening and nurturing of your real self. If you are serious about you self-development or your need to cope with and learn from depression, anxiety or any stressor from your daily relationships, I would like to offer my support to work with you on this challenging and fulfilling endeavor.

Experience & Qualifications

My work experience was gained working on outpatient mental health clinics, non-profit agencies, inpatient clinics/hospitals, schools, institutes and through my private practice. I did extensive research in hypnotherapy since the beginning of the 90s. and gained personal and clinical experience around multiple and very diverse cultural and social realities through my work experiences in USA, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil.
