About me

A practical approach, rooted in education

I’m a psychologist and a former primary school teacher. Since 2021 I’ve worked with children, teenagers and families in educational settings, and I train teachers in inclusive education. That experience has taught me to look at the context, not just the symptom.

In therapy I work from a brief systemic, solution-focused approach. We start from your strengths and your goals to build concrete change, session by session.

With children and teenagers, I add neuropsychology and neuroeducation to understand how each of them learns and what they need to move forward.

What already works in your life is the best starting point.

Services

How can I help?

Every process adapts to the person, their moment and their context.

Brief systemic therapy

A brief, practical approach focused on your goals and on the relationships around you.

Individuals

Anxiety, life changes, decisions that won’t come or relationships that weigh on you. For when something doesn’t fit and it’s hard to put a name to it.

Couples

For when talking has become difficult: crises, distance or arguments that keep coming back.

Families

Conflict, times of transition or patterns that keep you stuck. We work with the family as a system, not with just one person.

Up Braining · Neuroeducational support

Neuropsychology, education and teaching expertise at the service of each child or teenager, with a plan and resources designed for their profile.

Learning difficulties

Dyslexia, dyscalculia or reading comprehension difficulties. Materials adapted to the way they learn.

Attention and neurodivergence

ADHD, giftedness or autism (ASD). Support that builds on their strengths.

School anxiety

When school becomes a source of distress. Support for the child or teenager and guidance for the family.

FAQ

Any questions?

If yours isn’t here, send me a message.

One hour. For about 45 minutes we talk about what brings you here. Then I take a short break to reflect on the session and, at the end, I share what I see and a suggestion to work on until the next session.

It depends on each case. At first, weekly sessions are usually recommended to build momentum; later they become more spaced out.

It depends on each person and their goal. Brief systemic therapy aims for change in as few sessions as possible. In the free call I can already tell you whether I can help and, if I’m not the right professional for you, I’ll refer you to someone who is.

Individual session: €60. Couples session: €90.

For family therapy and neuroeducational support, I’ll give you a price depending on the case. The first call is free.

We start with an interview with the family and an assessment of the child’s strengths and specific difficulties.

With that information I design an intervention plan and specific materials for the child, and give the family guidance to support them at home.

As a general rule, to start working with a minor I need the consent of both parents or legal guardians, as required by Spanish law. I’ll explain how to do this in the initial call.

They take place by video call, with the same length and approach as in-person sessions. All you need is a quiet space and a good connection.

This is a private practice and is not affiliated with any insurance company. I issue an invoice for every session, in case your insurer offers reimbursement.

You can cancel free of charge with more than 24 hours’ notice. With less than 24 hours’ notice, half the session fee is charged.

Yes. Everything we discuss is confidential, except in the cases set out by law, such as a serious risk to your life or someone else’s.
