My Approach
I work exclusively with adults and primarily use EMDR as my therapeutic approach. My practice centres on creating a compassionate and supportive environment where clients feel truly heard and understood. I focus on early childhood experiences, interpersonal trauma, and workplace trauma, and I am comfortable guiding clients through both single-event and complex trauma. My aim is to make therapy a collaborative process, empowering each individual and ensuring they feel respected and supported throughout their journey.

My background enables me to offer online therapy in both English and Spanish, and my commitment lies in understanding each person’s unique story and helping them gain the insights and tools they need to move forward.I specialise in working with adults facing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, burnout, and relationship difficulties. My expertise particularly encompasses early childhood and interpersonal trauma, as well as workplace-related issues. Above all, I believe in people’s resilience and their capacity to heal, striving to empower clients at every stage of their therapeutic journey.
