Hello, my name is Astrid

I have been practicing as a Psychotherapist and Couples Counselor in Private Practice for the past decade.  I was born and raised in beautiful Costa Rica but I have spend most of my adult life living as an expat in Southeast Asia. 

Cultural diversity awareness has enrich my experience as a therapist. I find that connection and belonging is a human experience, regardless of where we are or where we come from.

​

I have a powerful sense of dedication in what I do. I am very passionate about therapy, oddly enthusiastic I must admit. Exploring the relationship between ourselves and others is where my curiosity triumphs.

​

Personally, Psychology is more than my career, it is my language. It is how I perceive and understand the world, myself and others. 

​

My role is to analyze methodically every thought and every feeling. I aim to be a facilitator of self-awareness, deeper understanding of emotions, the meta emotion approach.

Ultimately, that is our best shot towards our endless pursuit of meaning and happiness. 

​

My vision as a clinician is to integrate the two parts of therapy; the science and the art .

That perfect spot between science in the service of wisdom and the art of discovering the particularities that make each human unique.

​

My philosophy of life is based on the power of love and the role it plays on our healing.

I also believe we mustn't underestimating what sharing good food and wine with family and friends can do for your soul.
