About me
I'm a Gestalt therapist currently training in Somatic Experiencing and I specialize in queer identities and relationships, neurodivergence, non-monogamy and navigating experiences of chronic pain.
In therapy we co-create a space where you can explore your experiences and inner world with honesty, curiosity and care. My practice is grounded in deep respect for each person’s unique way of being in this world. And in remembering (in Spanish «recordar»: to pass back through the heart) what our bodies know, how we are beings of relationship (we inter-are) and what our truths and desires are beyond the capitalistic and colonial rules and scripts.
My aim is to be a loving presence to help you build the life you want beyond suffering, trauma and limitations from the past.
I believe in healing as part of collective liberation and the active creation of a more gentle and expansive world.

Approach
My approach is deeply rooted in the interconnectedness of mind, emotion and body. I integrate humanist, somatic, and artistic lenses to help you explore and heal from within, honoring your inner wisdom, gifts and resources. The aim of my somatic approach is to be able to hold bigger capacity for joy as well as for pain, the individual and also the collective. I also weave in parts work in the journey from fragmentation to wholeness: no part of us is left behind, they all have their seat at the table and they’re all met with curiosity and care. We walk towards building and strenthening your inner home so more agency, awareness and expansiveness can flow into your life and your relationships.
Experience
I have been practicing clinically as a Gestalt therapist for three years, during which I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals and couples in a therapeutic setting. In addition to my clinical work, I’ve also facilitated workshops and training sessions for various groups and organizations, focusing on topics such as sexuality, gender perspectives, chronic pain and community-based mental health strategies.
