Über mich
I have spent my career caring for and meeting with those most in need - from teenagers to adults with diverse mental health and life challenges. My passion is being there for others, with warmth, non-judgementalness, openness, empathy, and humor.
Born to a Mexican father and German mother, I grew up moving across the globe - spending my youth between Mexico, Brazil, the United States, and Germany. I know from experience that change, healing, relief, and that sweet elusive "peace" we all long for (a simple heart at rest) takes time, patience, perseverance, willpower, endurance, and most importantly perhaps: allies.
As a therapist it is my hope that I can be such an ally to you. The kind you've always longed for, the kind we all long for: understanding, warm, present, and unconditional.
Awake to the ever-shifting, vibrantly alive world around us, we find our ground and belonging in the natural ebb and flow of life.
Mein Ansatz
Mindfulness-Based Contemplative Counseling/Psychotherapy offers a holistic and practical awareness & somatic based approach to exploring and transforming our relationship to our inner and outer worlds. Through facilitated and guided attention to embodied sensation, emotion, & thought, individuals become more attuned and aware of the ever-shifting state of their bodies and minds - while learning to gently cope with & befriend the full range of human experience.
Working with a Mindfulness-Based Contemplative Counselor can increase your ability to:
- gain stability & grounding in your own being amid the challenges of everyday life
- understand your suffering & your personal coping mechanisms, adopting new habits & disentangling yourself from repetitive, unhelpful, or destructive mental patterns
- authentically feel & be connected with your own emotions, without judgement, fear, shame, or overwhelm
- feel more at home in your body, calming your nervous system & chattering mind
- look at the psychological dynamics in you & others, increasing your understanding, wisdom, & compassion
- gain critical insight into the broader systemic, social, and environmental contexts that are shaping your experience - removing the weight of the blame from the individual
- wake up your senses & reconnect to the alive world around you
Helping you to better navigate the stresses of living with symptoms such as:
- anxiety or compulsive thinking
- overwhelm, stress, burnout
- sadness, depression, or mood disorders
- difficulties in relationships
- life transitions & challenges
- isolation, loneliness
- loss of a sense of meaning or purpose in life
- secondary traumatization/ empathic distress
- ecological grief & climate anxiety
- & more
If you are curious, give it a try, and let me guide & accompany you in finding an anchor and ground amid the storms and challenges of life, inside the basic clarity, calm, and freedom of your own mind.
