Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions or facing relationship issues, or you want to reconnect with your ancestry and identify life-long patterns of behaviour going back through generations, I am here to support you as we walk through the difficult stuff. We'll find a reconnection to your inner resilience and potential for positive change. We'll collaborate to create a life that resonates with your deepest hopes, free of limiting self-doubt. I work in both Spanish & English and use a client-centred, resource-oriented approach following the clients' emotional, cognitive and somatic cues.
The main three psychotherapeutic modalities I use in my practice are: Somatic Experiencing for trauma resolution, Expressive Arts Therapy, and Attachment Theory. In integrating these methods, my clients experience our work as a powerful, yet gentle process in which they find it easier to engage in deep explorations.
An important portion of my clinical practice is working with childhood developmental transgenerational trauma and attachment. I strive to create a safe environment where we can integrate the deep wisdom of the body, spirit and mind, in a culturally appropriate way. Let's explore together the endless possibilities towards a life worth living. Gracias!
