Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

Recuerdo el momento cuando mis amigxs me recomendaron ir a terapia. La verdad, no creí que eso funcionaría para mí o para mi familia. Tenía miedo de hablar de mis cosas personales con alquien desconocido, me hacía sentir mucha inseguridad y me daba miedo sentirme vulnerable. Pero también sabía que no me gustaba la soledad y el malestar emocional que sentía. No quería que me dieran pastillas para aliviar mi dolor. No quería sentirme como un ratón de laboratorio. Me costó trabajo pedir ayuda. Quería que alguien me escuchara y entendiera, porque ya no quería sentir esa soledad y desesperación.

Utilizando terapia de arte, EMDR, y apoyándote donde estás en tu vida, podré ayudarte lograr y continuar esos cambios de vidas, emociones, y pensamientos que en el pasado te han contenido. Estoy aquí para apoyarte en realizar tu progreso.

La terapia es una oportunidad invaluable para que las personas y las parejas aprendan sobre ellos mismos y sobre las relaciones que desean cultivar.

A good therapist will offer you the care and support that you need to work on what is keeping you from the life you want. My clients describe me as supportive and nonjudgmental and also warmly challenging. I have over 19 years of experience treating psychological distress and psychiatric conditions in culturally diverse groups. I have a wealth of experience treating young adults managing specific role transitions.

I believe that therapy is a healing space. A space that allows us, when ready and prepared, to explore patterns and acquire insights about ourselves. In life we encounter different challenges in every season. Therapy will offer you an opportunity to emerge from these difficult seasons and achieve growth, renewal, healing, and flourishment. My mission is to provide a space filled with feelings of hope, safety, and trust that will allow others to undergo positive life transformation through a shared therapeutic journey.

Clients who will benefit more from working with me are complex, sensitive persons and couples going through some kind of life transition, or some relational or existential crisis, who want to understand themselves better, integrate the many sides of their identity, "own" their experiences, and reflect about their life course and ways of being and relating. Also persons willing to heal from trauma, to build resiliency and unleash post-traumatic growth. I have lived in Europe, Africa and USA, and have developed an expertise in immigration, acculturation, and international and transnational identities and experiences.

Most of my clients have some form of anxiety or depression. Often this is related to a difficulty with their family, partner(s) or colleagues. They want to feel secure and strong in the world and have better relationships. They are looking for meaning, relief, and self awareness. I see a lot of clients who need help getting over a breakup or navigating ENM. I view my clients as whole and complex beings who deserve to get to the root of their issues instead of treating symptoms one by one.
