International Clinical Psychologist
I am a Spanish/American therapist living in Rotterdam. During my upbringing, I moved every few years to several countries in North America, Europe, and Asia, so I am no stranger to change and what it brings. In my education I completed my BSc. in Psychology at the Erasmus University Rotterdam and my MSc. in Clinical Psychology at Utrecht University. During my later education, I acquired the skills and practice to treat a wide range of problems and disorders, specifically specializing in anxiety, trauma, and depressive disorders. I chose this field because the mind fascinates me
Treatment
The first step in our therapeutic relationship is to have an intake session. In this first session, we get to know each other and the reason why we are meeting. This meeting is meant to give me the information needed to make a specific treatment plan according to your needs. In the second session, I discuss the treatment plan with you to make any necessary adjustments and we begin with the treatments. The idea of the plan is to have a specific time frame with concrete goals set by you to work towards. If more sessions are needed in the end, it is no problem. For our last sessions, the focus is on learning techniques to maintain what you learned in our sessions after treatment ends and relapse prevention.
I work in a compassionate and collaborative way that is tailored directly to you, however I make a point of staying up to date with the most recent research and using only evidence based techniques that have been shown to be effective. My goal is to create a safe space that encourages reflection and discussion in order to provide an environment that promotes healing. I believe that the most effective treatment begins once you are truly able to look at yourself without judgement. In order to do this, I use mindfulness training and breath work when needed to calm and recenter the mind and body.
