Get to Know My Work
I am a specialist in Gestalt Therapy, trained in Systemic Therapy, Couples and Family Therapy, and currently pursuing a postgraduate degree in Psychonutrition.
Gestalt Therapy invites us to look at the present with greater intensity and awareness. By focusing on the “here and now,” it helps us explore our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, revealing patterns that may prevent us from living fully. It encourages us to take responsibility for our choices and the way we relate to the world. This is a process of inner unblocking, where we become more conscious of what drives us, allowing us to create new possibilities for our lives.
Systemic Therapy views the individual as part of a larger whole, such as their family or other groups in their life. It seeks to understand the connections, patterns, and dynamics of these relationships, showing how they impact our emotions, behaviors, and conflicts. The goal is to bring clarity, reframe these patterns, and build healthier, more balanced relationships, creating a space of harmony for everyone within that system.
This Is Gestalt
Gestalt Therapy is an approach that allows the therapist to be who they are. That is liberating!
My work unfolds as the client emotionally engages to connect with their emotions. You dictate the pace of therapy, and you also choose how to use the 50 minutes of the session. I am a facilitator of surgical interventions, equipped with tools and skills that will guide your journey of self-discovery, help you manage anxiety, and promote interventions that motivate you to take action. I like to replace the word "control" with "manage." It's quite common for you to want to control your emotions and feelings, but is feeling a choice? When we manage what we feel, we have the possibility to use even the so-called "negative" feelings in our service. It's about doing something positive with pain, fear, anguish, and anger. Well-managed anger is a potent catalyst; through it, we have the energy to launch ourselves into the world, our careers, relationships, and life. It's our fuel, very dangerous when mismanaged!
Diagnosis
I understand diagnosis as a part that integrates the individual but does not define them. I invite you to look at the function of the symptom and what contributes to its maintenance. We work so that the individual can function in relationships, work, and life, enhancing their potential and understanding their limitations.
Here and Now
The focus is on the here and now, but this concept is often misunderstood. When we dwell on the past, there's not much we can do, but when we look at it with the goal of "freeing our future," there's something to be done. We do look at the past, but we see it as something vast, as someone who has already gone through pain and now has the resources to "heal" wounds that still bleed.
Awareness
The change you desire so much depends on your choices, where you want to leave, and where you want to go. You are the one who determines it!
It's in the process of awareness that life and habits transform. Effective behavioral change doesn't occur by forcing actions until they become habits. Change happens internally when you connect with your history, your origins, and understand what makes sense to let go of, maintain, and reinterpret.
