Understand
I listen to your story without reducing you to a symptom. I help you explore what brings you here, the relevant parts of your history and what you need right now.
Book your introductory call
You don't need to «endure more».
I support you in exploring what you feel, at your pace.
My therapeutic approach combines a humanistic perspective with tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), with sensitivity to trauma. In the free introductory call, I invite you to get to know me, ask questions and consider whether this support fits your needs. It is not a therapy session.

The problem
Almost nobody arrives on their first attempt
Most people who look for psychological help arrive after:
- Experiences of care in which you did not feel heard.
- Relationships marked by manipulation, invalidation or psychological abuse that you still don't fully know how to leave.
- Intense emotions (anxiety, mood swings, sensitivity to rejection) that willpower cannot regulate.
- The feeling of being alone in the process, with no community and no continuity between one session and the next.
- Looking for something «more» than 50 minutes a week — without knowing it exists.
How I support you
My therapeutic approach combines a humanistic perspective with tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I bring together listening, empathy and respect for your individual experience with mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness skills. I work with sensitivity to trauma and adapt the tools to your needs and goals.
In my practice, I value continuity: follow-up within your process and tools to practise between sessions. My resources and community proposals have different goals from psychotherapy.
The method
Four steps, no vague promises
This is what a process at Psiquesintiendo looks like, from the first conversation to integration into your everyday life.
Build resources
I help you define goals for your process and support you in practising emotion regulation, distress tolerance and communication skills.
Connect in community
I invite you to explore your relationship with yourself, your bonds and what gives your life meaning. For those who want it, there is the community and experiences like RENACER.
Integrate
I help you turn what you have learned into everyday action, review your progress and adapt my support to your process.
