The purpose of my life is to give people freedom.

THE THERAPIST

At the age of 20, my professional journey began with an unexpected psychotic episode. The tipping point was a deep philosophical and existential search, the desire to have answers for everything led me into months of hallucinations, intense emotions, paranoia, and incoherent speech that challenged my sanity. Fortunately, that period turned out to be a crossroads where I ultimately found my path.


This impactful experience not only marked the beginning of my career but also shaped my attitude and way of thinking about the human mind, solidifying my determination and believe.


 Every client I have today is a unique project, and each person I am able to help, heal, or improve reinforces my belief that the next one can too.


I rely on the experience of results rather than depending on theories, methods, or doctrines as absolute truths. My focus is on taking concrete therapeutic action for my client.


In my treatment approach, I view the person as a whole being, not just as a collection of symptoms. My work is structured as brief therapy, specifically for challenging cases.

 Moments of severe psychological crisis ?

Over the years, I realized that I felt deeply fulfilled in doing this work, living stories and journeys that have left a lasting mark on me. I have spent nearly twenty years dedicated to transformative work, with a highly diverse audience, from adolescents to adults of all ages, CEOs, elite athletes, military personnel, doctors, lawyers, architects, farmers, actors and people of different religions, nationalities, and sexual orientations.


I support people experiencing major crises, such as anorexia, schizophrenia, psychosis, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, existential crises, paranoia, hearing voices, epilepsy, and also experiences related to contact with spirits and entities, among other challenging conditions.


In many cases, we are able to completely reverse the situation; in others, the most valuable outcome is helping the client achieve balance and peace in relation to their current condition.


I refer to them as “clients” rather than “patients,” because I do not believe in mental illness solely through the lens of rigid or fatalistic diagnoses. I believe that every human being needs various forms of support from birth to death. In this way, we collaborate to help each person become healthier and find their own path to happiness.


I recognize that psychological and emotional crises are among the most misunderstood conditions and, as a result, often receive inadequate, invasive, and high-risk treatments that can affect the person’s overall health.


My approach aims to help each individual overcome moments of acute crisis and achieve solid, lasting balance, promoting well-being and quality of life.
