About Me

I am the third of a family of 10 children, I had the opportunity to get to know distant and different cultures. I learned from my parents curiosity, respect and care for the health and needs of others. I love the arts, tuning in and observing the answers within myself and in the other. I started my studies in Physics, during my Master's I changed my path to Psychology, I created self-regulation games and complementary managements to EMDR for complex PTSD symptoms and I feel happy to investigate objective results with the cardiology department of a faculty of medicine.
