Hello fellow traveler!
Here is some information to help you in your search.
My practice is grounded in trauma informed care yet inspired by the expansion of human awareness. I am a deeply sensitive and curious therapist. I love to use metaphors, poetic improvisation, archetypes, body movement, meditation, and lots of humor in my practice.
I realized I wanted to become a therapist after working with people with cancer and transgender children. I saw many people dying in hospital beds, but also many transgender children being re-born into their true self. These lives changed my vision of the world completely.
I am deeply touched and inspired by topics related to feminism (and eco-feminism), de-colonization, psychedelic therapies, LGBTQIA+ community, the Latino movement, religious cult survivors, people facing death, and the non-monogamous experience.
Our sessions will have a strong touch of relational therapy, which means that I foster a neutral warm relationship where we all make space to connect with our own human experience as it is. My style is humanistic and experiential as I’m passionate about Gestalt therapy and transpersonal therapies. I also use Internal Family Systems (parts work) to find and befriend all the characters that reside in you. I will also use my EMDR lenses to identify what messages the universe sent you through your life.
I believe in exploring a person’s past only when it’s relevant to what is happening in the here and now.
Our sessions will aim to experience the Paradoxical Theory of Change, which means that change arrives naturally when we allow ourselves to accept and be who we truly are.
My world is also deeply influenced by Zen Buddhism, Taoism, Sociology, and Anthropology. But in simpler words, it’s all about our endless pursuit of freedom, love, and authenticity. In my spare time I like to play piano, sing Lady Gaga songs, and be with my dogs. And go to my own personal therapy!
