I’ve spent a lot of time building this site with the hope that it can truly help those who visit it. I feel incredibly lucky — not because everything has been easy, but because I’ve found tools, insights, and ways of seeing that changed my life. I simply want to share what has helped me, in case it can help you too.

A Bridge Between Logic, Risk Management and Inner Work
I don’t come from a background in psychology, coaching, or therapy. I studied mathematics and worked in financial markets — a world built on logic, models, probabilities, and risk.
But over time, I got more curious about people than numbers. I wanted to understand why we get stuck in patterns, why we often act against our own best interest, and how we can become our own best friend.
So I started reading — a lot. Psychology, neuroscience, human behavior, biology. But more than anything, I experimented. On myself, in my relationships, through conversations and introspection. I’ve used myself as my own lab — tracking triggers, identifying patterns, exploring beliefs and emotions, trying new tools. A huge part of my inner work was supported by Thais Gibson’s method, which helped me understand the emotional roots of my behaviors and the unmet needs behind them.
I'm now building this self-guided method to help people navigate the beautiful mess of being human: wanting at the same time safety and freedom, attachment and autonomy, self-worth and empathy...
The method I propose was not designed in theory — it was lived.
It blends:
-
The clarity and structure of mathematics.
-
The survival rules and adaptive logic of the human brain.
-
The principles of risk and chaos management from financial markets — where the key isn’t to avoid all pain, but to avoid being wiped out. If you can stay engaged and resourced through the storms, healing — like investment returns — tends to move toward their fair value.
This way of seeing the world helps make emotional growth less overwhelming and more navigable. It's not about controlling everything — it's about building enough inner resilience and clarity to stay in the game, no matter what life throws at you.
Today, my goal is to live and guide others toward a life of greater authenticity — not as a form of withdrawal or rebellion, but as a grounded way of being. I want to stay socially engaged and responsible, to bring more truth, clarity, and humanity into the systems we live in — without burning out, disconnecting, or pretending.
My method isn’t about becoming perfect. It’s about becoming real — with yourself and with others — while staying strong enough to keep your heart open and your actions aligned. This requires understanding the inner rules we're all playing by in life, often without realizing it.
