About me
Why did I decide to become a psychotherapist?
Since I was a child, I have always been interested in people. I remember thinking that one of my biggest hobbies was meeting other people. Like many others, during my childhood, I frequently changed my mind about what I wanted to be when I grew up. But all the professions I had any interest in tended to have one thing in common:
At the same time, science has been an area of knowledge that has awakened my curiosity and helped me develop analytical skills. It was for this reason that, without knowing which career I would choose, I decided to study to somehow get closer to the world of health sciences.
However, when I turned 18, I had the opportunity to take a gap year before entering university, to collaborate with a humanitarian aid organization abroad. During my stay in this association, I was part of a team with people from different parts of the world, with whom we traveled to places where we could help in different ways and create bonds with people in situations of vulnerability.

This experience intensified the interest I had in accompanying people who were going through especially difficult circumstances. But at times I felt frustrated and helpless because I wasn’t sure what was the best way to contribute. Many times, I did not know what to say or what to do in situations that I had never even imagined someone could experience. I knew that being by their side was helpful, but I wondered if there was something else I could do.
So, when I got back home, it was very clear to me: I wanted to study psychology. Since I began my university studies, I have felt that clinical psychology is my vocation. And 10 years later I find myself thinking the same thing. Throughout the time that I have dedicated myself to clinical practice, I have been grateful for the knowledge that I have been able to acquire through my regulated and theoretical training. However, I believe that there is no better school than the day-to-day of my work through contact with people who want to start a psychotherapeutic treatment and remedy the pain they experience.
