About me
As a Swiss national, I have an understanding of multinational communities because of my cross-cultural personal experience.
My father was from Geneva and worked mostly as an executive for international companies. My mother who is originally from Hamburg was raised in Curaçao. After my parents met in Venezuela, they lived back and forth between Europe and South America. I was born in Caracas, came as a toddler to Geneva, moved as a teenager to Caracas where I completed a French baccalaureate in the local French school. Then I left for San Diego, California where I studied two years of biology and pre-medicine before opting for psychology and choosing Venezuela as my homeland for the next twelve years. Marriage in Switzerland within the portuguese comunity and two Swiss children rooted me finally back in Geneva.
I trained in psychology, clinical psychology and psychotherapy, then deepened my understanding of anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, trauma, family dynamics through continuous education as well as professional experience in Geneva , the Boston area and Caracas. In the past years I have learned and gained experience in the Dr.Alfred Tomatis methodology as a complement to psychotherapy.
With this background, I have developed an approach which focuses essentially on the here and now and exactly what you are trying to solve. It respects how you envision yourself, the goals you pursue, your background, personal preferences and wishes.
