Ofrezco servicios de terapia y supervision Español o Ingles.  

Como imigrante (Venezuelana) comprendo lo dificil que puede ser encontrar un terapeuta que pueda ayudar a procesar trauma en mi lengua materna, y que entienda las diferencias culturales que impactan nuestra vida cotidiana.

El lenguaje nunca debería ser una barrera para recibir servicios de salud mental. Por eso, me siento orgullosa de ofrecer terapia en ingles y en español. Facilitando tu expresión de emociones, valores, experiencias que moldean tu vision del mundo en el leguaje donde guardas tus emociones.  

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)

IFS views the mind as a system of parts, each with unique roles. IFS fosters growth and harmony by helping individuals understand and heal their internal conflicts. Through recognizing and interacting with various parts, including those holding pain and trauma, clients experience deep healing and personal growth.

EMDR Therapy 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful tool in the journey toward healing from trauma. It’s especially effective for those vivid, persistent memories that seem to hold you back. EDMR can support you in processing traumatic memories safely, reducing the emotional distress linked to difficult memories and fostering a sense of peace and personal strength.

I also offer EMDR intensives. EMDR intensives allow you to process traumatic memories and resolution of trauma in a shorter amount of time by engaing in more frequent and longer sessions. 

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. SP.

Our bodies hold onto trauma in ways we often don’t realize. Sensorymotor psychotherapy offers a path to healing that integrates both body and mind. SP can support you in  reconnecting you with your body by releasing the physical manifestations of trauma, and it can support in developing healthier bodily awareness and coping strategies to adress past of present moment stressfull/traumatic situations.
