Most of the times, to build a life worth living means to face and overcome struggles, life changes, losses, challenges, to name some. Many instances like these set the tone for depression, anxieties, personality issues, stress, etc. We get stuck in the journey of life and cannot achieve our goals of having a better life because it is difficult to deal with problems, we lack coping skills, self-esteem, etc. Therapy is a way to discover how we can become "unstuck", learn new skills, discover what we need to change or accept, or just talk with somebody who is non-judgmental in a confidential setting.
My therapeutic approach includes the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Supportive Therapy as well as Spiritual Counseling. In combination, these techniques have been found to be effective treatments for a range of problems including depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorder and bereavement. Bilingue.
I have more than a decade of experience teaching meditation and mindfulness and other therapeutic techniques to a variety of clients. It has been an honor to walk with them trough different paths of their lives and witness how healing can be reach using a therapeutic process. In my personal life I enjoy photography, yoga, my pet, music & practicing Reiki.
