About Me

I am a book lover. In every stage and situation of my life, I read and learn. Psychology is my element, as it allows me to see the invisible.

I liken the work of a psychotherapist to that of an archaeologist, because in both cases, by carefully cleaning and removing the “dust” of time layer by layer, one can approach what is hidden and valuable.

W. Saroyan – The Human Comedy


“Be very careful when judging people. Even if with your own eyes you see that someone is behaving badly, do not assume that you are necessarily right. When it comes to a human being, great sensitivity is required. Forgive me, but it is wrong, it is foolish to judge people for being who they are.”



To Kill a Mockingbird


“Almost all people are good when you finally understand them.”
