One of the things that gives me more passion is to listen and understand the feelings and thoughts of the people who are struggling. I am thrilled when I find a way to connect and help others to make sense of their own issues. People are unique and complex, as are our problems. Through cooperated efforts, I hope to understand these problems. I think that the key in therapy is a strong alliance between the person seeking therapy and the therapist. For me, the most important thing in achieving therapeutic process, is the development of an authentic helping relationship. As a therapist, I will show the empathy and energy necessary to assist you in the problems which have brought you here. My passion is to help individuals, couples, and families find the issues that are constraining them and impairing their ability to enjoy happiness and personal fulfillment. I have lived in the United States, Peru, Argentina, and Brazil, working as a pastor and therapist in both the United States and Peru. My international experience paired with an academic background in philosophy and theology has given me a unique perspective on people and the difficulties we face.
