I am someone that enjoys supporting people to feel better and to thrive. I value the active listening and embrace experiences and i know that, althoug i understand of psychology, "you" are the one who understands about yourself, your pain and your needs. I Believe that every intervention and strategy needs to be evidence based and above all, person centered in the true meaning of that. I also believe that each person can benefit from problem solving strategies, but also from finding causes and reasons. And is their choice how they want their therapeutical process to be.
