Who it's for
Is this therapy right for you?
It's for you if...
You live with anxiety, panic episodes, or your body is constantly on high alert.
You feel depressed, are going through grief, or navigating a life change that hasn't quite settled.
You carry chronic pain, insomnia, or physical symptoms with no clear medical cause.
You want to know yourself better, break out of autopilot, or make more aligned decisions.
You're a teenager and need your own space to process intense emotions.
You know or sense that you have the power to change your life.
It's not for you if...
You have an emergency or crisis that requires medical or psychiatric attention first. In that case, I'll guide you to the right resource.
You're looking for life prescriptions from the therapist. Here, we start from the belief that you have everything you need to move forward.
The process
Rhythm, depth and method
In the first session, we conduct a clinical interview. This allows me to explore the different facets that make up your experience; it gives you a chance to get to know my pace and style, and gives me insight into your perspective of the world.
Together we build a safe space to embrace, unravel and process your reason for seeking therapy, finding its emotional roots. Throughout, I track your body's physiological responses, which point me to the unconscious memories that shape the patterns and beliefs we'll gradually deconstruct.
Sessions are typically biweekly, lasting 50 minutes to one hour. We can work interchangeably online or in person at my office in Colonia Napoles, Mexico City.
Evolution
What changes as the process unfolds
Slowing down and listening
You learn to settle into a slower rhythm that makes inner listening possible. You'll be able to answer more easily: what do I feel in my body? The foundation is always stabilization through a sense of safety in the present moment.
From urgency to strategy
You reach a feeling of stability more quickly. We'll develop tools to reduce the rush and anxiety, and we'll recognize the patterns that sustain your pain or confusion. Urgency gives way to curiosity.
Self-knowledge as transformation
Problems become a doorway to self-knowledge. You recognize your inner strengths and manage stress more effectively. Your tolerance for frustration grows, and so does your confidence and connection with life.
Your first session
Step by step
Send me a message on WhatsApp. My assistant will answer any questions about scheduling and payments. You'll receive a confirmation 48 hours before your session.
The first session is a mutual interview: you ask any questions you need, and I explain how I work. Together we define your therapeutic goals.
The first 3 to 6 sessions are an adjustment period: we calibrate comfort and depth.
If we decide to continue, we schedule in two-month blocks with clear goals and constantly review progress.

Approaches
How I work in session
Somatic Experiencing (SE)
A trauma-aware therapeutic model. It pays attention to your nervous system responses to help you regulate what your body holds, respecting the rhythm your physical experience sets for us. 
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Works with the different "parts" that coexist within you. It helps integrate conflicting inner voices without silencing any of them.
Tapping (EFT)
Combines gentle tapping on specific body points with verbal processing. Useful for releasing "stuck" emotions. It integrates acupuncture with exposure therapy and neuro-linguistic programming.
Core Energetics
Views the person as an integration of body, emotions, thoughts and intentions. Works with movement and breath to access deeper layers. Offers an evolutionary and transpersonal perspective.
Testimonials
What people say about working together
I would recommend anyone to try these sessions for the less traditional, more inclusive approaches -- less codependent, more open and diverse.
Anonymous
I learned to listen to my body, to take my symptoms seriously, and to reach deep layers of my physicality. It has been a journey of learning to live in my own body.

I always recommend you to my friends. For people like me, who are overthinkers and have anxiety, someone like you is perfect.
