I would like to offer you my appreciation on how important the step you are giving right now is. Finding a psychotherapist can be daunting or disconcerting at first but the impulse that brought you here means you want things to be different, right? Maybe with less anxiety, less suffering or less loneliness. Maybe with more space to be who you are and experience more easiness to relate to others. Past traumas, being raised in non-attuned contexts and any form of oppression impose ruptures to the dialog between us and others and the internal parts of ourselves. These cracks generate conflicts, suffering, shame, and a self-alienation.
As a trauma-oriented therapist with advanced training in Somatic Experiencing and Brainspotting, I specialize in embodied trauma resolution. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment that promotes gentleness, empathy and care. Additionally, I have great experience addressing mental health concerns of immigrants and folks of the LGBTQ+ community.
I would like to invite you to take the first step towards healing and schedule an appointment with me. Together, we can work towards creating the space for you to be your authentic self and to build stronger relationships with yourself and others.
