Welcome and thank you for being here. I feel happy for your visit and want to tell you a little bit about my work and the information and support you could find here. I am not a traditional/orthodox therapist or coach, I do not sugarcoat or enable clients’ ego to get them or to keep them as regular clients. I will not tell you what you want to hear for you to like me, but I am, and will always be honest and direct, respect your individuality, your journey and your right to make your own choices.
At the same time, you can be sure I will do my best to understand and support you as needed all the way through the coaching or therapy process, whether it is about a fifteen minutes session, an email consultation, or a coherent exploration/work plan on yourself or any life area.

Here I invite you to broader openness and wondering, to challenge your old outdated views, and to empower and improve those that truly work or could work for you to make your life better, more whole, more meaningful and enjoyable, as well as to be able to cope with pain in effective ways, without causing useless suffering you do not need, want nor deserve.
You come here not because somebody is pushing you, but because you are truly willing or considering to give yourself a chance to explore and learn about yourself, others and life to improve the way you cope and approach things. You may come here because you cannot find the support you need locally, or because of the pressure you experience by those around you, even by a bad therapist who has not helped but made things harder, worse and more painful for you.
His extensive experience in the psychology, counseling, case management and education fields, having been lecturing on several topics around philosophy, psychology, education and self-development; providing clinical and counseling support at different inpatient and outpatient clinics, schools, NGOs and businesses, has allowed him to improve his abilities to perform competently and in an ethical way, being culturally sensitive and integral in his approach whenever supporting people or organizations. He has worked in the United States, Europe and South America with very culturally diverse and multilingual populations, face to face, by phone and online.
More than 20 years of professional experienceWe use to have hard times whenever we face difficulties that challenge our ego. Most of the time, we tend to avoid facing these challenges or we do deal with them in destructive ways, mainly because of not having learned more assertive and functional ways to take care of ourselves, relationships and circumstances in life.
My approach is focused on promoting your insight about why you think, feel and react the way you do, to support you to take advantage of your own skills and potential and to guide you on working on yourself, your emotional needs, wounds and fears, those that are not allowing you to mindfully and gently take good care of yourself, life and your relationships with others.
I do take into account exploring and working on the issues affecting your mood and functioning, and facilitating the learning of personal tools that would allow you to ventilate, understand and process feelings, as well as to promote concrete positive changes in your life.
You could expect to receive sincere, ethical, assertive and emphatic support even in those moments when denial and avoidance are your worst enemies. I will challenge your ego and promote the awakening and nurturing of your real self.
If you are serious about you self-development or your need to cope with and learn from depression, anxiety or any stressor from your daily relationships, I would like to offer my support to work with you on this challenging and fulfilling endeavor.”

A couple of years ago, my father’s health began to decline. His declining health would usher in a very chaotic and emotionally disturbing time for me and my entire family. It would also expose old wounds, chronic patterns and unlock an emotional roller coaster.
When I began working with Rafael, he proved to be a voice of unyielding reason and stability against the currents of guilt, manipulation and problematic family trends. One of the lessons I learned included learning to take better care of myself. I’m absolutely certain, that I couldn’t go back to living how I previously did.
Rafael consistently provided support to help me make the changes I needed to move forward with my life. His honest and gentle approach has helped me break cycles that I have been in for many years. Instead of chronic worry and frustration, my self-esteem has improved and I have an optimistic outlook for the future.
Rafael’s advice and support have made a difference in my life. If you are experiencing self-esteem issues, family problems or relationship issues, reach out to Rafael today. His listening ear and experience will help you develop a relationship you trust and can make important changes in your life.
