A propos de moi
Avec plus de 25 ans d'expérience clinique et différentes spécialisations, je propose des accompagnements qui respectent la globalité de la personne dans son vécu.
J'intègre une perspective humaniste centrée sur la personne et des outils de la psychologie positive pour accéder aux ressources psychologiques de l'individu toujours dans une écoute respectueuse et bienveillante. J'incorpore également les différents aspects de l'impact du stress et trauma dans l'esprit/corps en me focalisant sur la capacité chez la personne à surmonter ces événements difficiles de vie et à atteindre un plus grand bien-être et une plus profonde capacité de résilience. La sexologie clinique me permet d'aborder les questions relatives à la santé et à l'agentivité sexuelle dans une perspective inclusive et intégrative.
Dans le processus psychothérapeutique, les approches contemplatives de la Pleine Conscience et la Science du Yoga sont parfois proposés comme soutien complémentaire pour promouvoir l'auto-régulation émotionnelle, la réduction du stress mental, l'acceptation de soi et la pratique de l'auto-compassion.
Bi-nationale espagnole et suisse, ayant vécu dans différents pays et travaillant à présent aux Etats Unis auprès des Nations Unis, j'intègre dans mon travail clinique une compréhension multi-culturelle.
À présent je travaille seulement en ligne.

With more than 25 years of clinical experience and different specialties, I provide support that respects the globality of the person's experience.
I integrate a humanistic person-centered approach and positive psychology methods to activate my client's psycho-social and emotional resources in a respectful and caring attitude. I also incorporate the perspective of the impact of trauma on health and I am interested in the person's ability to achieve greater well-being and a deeper capacity for resilience following such events. My practice in clinical sexology allows me to address issues of sexual health and sexual agency from an inclusive and integrative perspective.
In the psychotherapeutic process, the contemplative approaches of Mindfulness and the Science of Yoga are sometimes suggested as complementary support to promote emotional self-regulation, mental stress reduction, self-acceptance and the practice of self-compassion.
As a dual national Spanish-Swiss, having lived in different countries and now working at United Nations in USA, I integrate a multi-cultural understanding into my clinical work.
Currently I only offer online sessions.

Con más de 25 años de experiencia clínica y diferentes especialidades, propongo un apoyo que respeta la globalidad de la experiencia de la persona.
Integro una perspectiva humanista centrada en la persona y métodos de la psicología positiva para activar los recursos psicosociales y emocionales de mis clientes en una actitud de escucha respetuosa y bondadosa. También incorporo el aspecto del impacto de los traumas en la salud y me interesa la posibilidad de lograr un mayor bienestar y una capacidad de resiliencia más profunda después de tales experiencias. Mi práctica en sexología clínica me permite abordar cuestiones de salud y agencia sexuales desde una perspectiva inclusiva e integradora.
En el proceso psicoterapéutico, los enfoques contemplativos del Mindfulness (la Atención Plena) y la Ciencia del Yoga son a veces propuestos como apoyo complementario para promover la autorregulación emocional, la reducción del estrés mental, la autoaceptación y la práctica de la autocompasión.
Con doble nacionalidad española-suiza, habiendo vivido en diferentes países y trabajando ahora en Naciones Unidas en EEUU, integro una comprensión multicultural en mi trabajo clínico.
En este momento sólo propongo sesiones online.
