About me and my therapy practice
I'm an Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor specializing in Systemic Family Constellation Therapy.
I combine multiple models that strengths and complement one another resulting in a fluid therapeutic framework.
My integrative approach is fundamentally oriented under the systemic model which unlike traditional models that focus on the individual, Systemic therapy understands emotional and behavioural problems from the context of personal relationships ( family, partner, professional) rather than seeing them as independent and individual problems.
We are all part of systems (your family, your partner, your work environment) and when one element of the system suffers, the entire system is affected, and that element could be you.
My goal is to help you to decipher these dynamics so you can build healthier and more functional relationships through lasting structural change .
The Systemic Family Constellation Therapy can help with
- Relationship crises and breakups: Communication problems, infidelity, or difficulty reaching agreements.
- Family conflicts: Parenting challenges, complex dynamics between parents and children, life transitions (such as bereavement or leaving home).
- Constant anxiety.
-Depression.
- Work-related stress: Understanding how the demands of your environment are directly impacting your physical and mental health.
- Difficulty setting boundaries: Repetitive patterns where you prioritize yourself last or take on other people's responsibilities.
Practice description
My approach to therapy:
My clients describe me as warm, approachable, and focus.
Sessions are collaborative and at a pace that feels appropriate for you.
My integrative approach to therapy uses tools from different approaches in addition to those used in the systemic method, my main goal is to provide you with the best theoretical foundation that is appropriate for your situation.
Having lived and worked across different countries, I bring a cross-cultural perspective that respects each person's background, values and traditions.
I offer therapy in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
