About me as a therapist
My clients have said that I am accepting, tolerant and an excellent listener, but also analytical and direct when it is needed. I come from the academic world (I have been a researcher in the field of Neuroscience), so I have a strong scientific background and work only with empirically tested therapy methods. I have lived abroad since I was 19 and I have worked with people from many different cultures and very diverse points of view. That is why I always feel really comfortable with diversity.
About my therapy sessions
I would define my working style as close and personal. I think an open relationship between patient and therapist is crucial to make things work. We will try to set expectations and objectives since the very beginning of our therapeutic relationship so that we can go straight to the root of your problems. We all know that therapy is time-consuming and expensive, so the value of your time will always be one of my priorities. Each person is unique, so I will help you find personalized tools and acquire new skills to increase your well-being and achieve your personal goals. We will discuss together the areas of your life that you think you need more help with, and we will choose the intervention methods accordingly.

I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a master's degree in Clinical Psychology. I graduated as a psychotherapist in 2016 and I came to Turku to study a second master's degree in Human Neuroscience in 2018. I have worked as a neuropsychologist (neurological rehabilitation for brain damaged patients) and private psychotherapist in Spain for 3 years. I have experience with adults of all ages.
I got my Valvira licence in autum 2022 and I started accepting new patients in Finland in 2023. Being an immigrant myself, I have dedicated the last year to the study of the so-called immigration stress and all the struggles that derive from the process of adapting to a new country.
As a researcher, I spent my last two years at university studying different neuropsychiatric disorders (mainly autism, ADHD, bipolar disorder and major depression disorder). I also studied the effects that anxiety and depression in pregnant women can have on their newborn's brain development.
Client group
I have worked mainly with adults (16-60 yo). I have more experience in the treatment of anxiety and mood disorders, complicated grief, sexual abuse, and immigration stress (Ulysses syndrome). I have dedicated the last year to the study of the so-called immigration stress. Most of my first patients in Finland have been immigrants.
