About me

Growing up in a single parent home, I've experienced, first hand, all the hardships of a broken family. I've dealt with my own codependency issues, fear of abandonment, depression, emotional eating, alcohol, tobacco and substance use, as well as psychosomatic issues, grief and living in survival mode. I started my therapeutic journey and my career nearly a decade ago. Going through that process I had to test what really worked (including medications and different styles of therapy), so that I can heal and help others heal. This allows me to compassionately connect with people on a deeper level through common emotional experiences and, in that, provide them with a safe haven for healing and growth. As a lifelong learner, I always keep in touch with the newest findings in therapy of all disciplines. Delivering the best possible therapeutic results for my clients is an ongoing endeavour, for that reason I'm under continuous professional supervision and personal therapy.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Nonviolent CommunicationRecommended for those who want to improve communication and to regulate conflicts by learning how to express their feelings and needs and listening to other’s.
I am trauma informed and a trainee in integrative psychotherapy and breathwork. I specialize in emotional regulation, self-awareness, grief, relationships, separation anxiety and non violent communication. I handle cases of psychopathology with extra care. My approach is holistic, as it aims to create unity between the body and the mind. It integrates a variety of practices like: Rogerian therapy, breathwork, attachment theory, developmental psychology, gestalt, polyvagal theory, CBT, psychodynamic therapy and more. During our sessions you'll have the opportunity to learn how to love and respect the wonderful human being that you are, by knowing how to: • Recognize and experience your true emotions. • Realize your needs and cover them. • Set boundaries. • Cope with stress. • Navigate through psychological pain. • Deal with rejection/abandonment/separation. • Lower the voice of your inner critic. • Express your authentic self. • Communicate from the heart. • Become aware of nonverbal behaviors. • Regulate your addictions. • Be less impulsive. • Create safety within your mind and body. • Get in touch with your senses. • Separate your thoughts from you. • Challenge your negative beliefs. • End repetitive pain, AKA suffering. • Make your subconscious conscious. • Safely experience difficult emotions like guilt, shame and rage. • Release past trauma and stored pain. ➢ With all that said, it's time for you to take control of your life, by investing in your mental well-being, and embarking on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. No need to struggle alone and suffer in silence. What better time than now to take the first step towards healing. Book your first therapy session today and let us begin transforming your life together. #text me on WhatsApp for faster response at +306974956150 #
