Gestalt Existential Psychotherapy Individual and Couple Therapy In-Person and Online: trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem

We are all born with a self-regulation system that allows us to adapt to the challenges of existence, learn and transform our reality

However, life often presents obstacles against which our previous responses don't seem to work, and we get stuck along the way and disconnected from our self-regulation and creativity

The goal of my therapeutic work is to help you find where and how you get blocked, allowing the voice and body of your unease to provide us with information about your needs and feelings, increase perspective of possibilities and release what no longer serves you

Together, we will work on your:

  • Past

    • Process traumas, fears and phobias and finish matters of the past

    • Work with your resistances, blocks and outdated responses

    • Become aware of your limiting beliefs and attitudes, and how you have built your self-concept and perception of the world

    • Recognize the deeper processes and motivations that drive you to do what you do

  • Future

    • Get clarity about what you really want and need in order to get it, and develop your response ability to your circumstances

    • Accept and use the adversity of your context creatively, to choose and decide with confidence among your possibilities

    • Learn to hold yourself in the face of challenges, despite the pain

    • Live a more passionate and bolder existence, full of meaning and authenticity

  • Present

    • Contact your feelings, anxieties and desires with courage and creativity, to live more authentically

    • Discover your real needs

    • Build support systems in your life and align with your resources and gifts

    • Honor your process until now and use it to build a life project that is both realistic and aligned with your needs and desires
