For me, the therapeutic relationship is an exchange of experiences, emotions, and respect. A safe space where we set aside the masks of everyday life and allow ourselves to embrace our fragilities and vulnerabilities, so we can build new paths in this journey that is life. I believe in growth and in the human capacity to reinvent and readapt. I strive to work on each person’s individuality through self-knowledge, without judgment and free from prejudice.
