My Approach

My work is grounded in Body Psychotherapy, also known as Somatic Psychotherapy — a specialised approach that places the body-mind connection at the centre of a person’s sense of self. I also draw from humanistic approaches, attachment theory and neuroscience. These frameworks support a compassionate and integrative understanding of the human experience, and guide my work in helping clients reconnect with themselves and experience a deeper enjoyment of life.

My psychotherapeutic practice is enriched by my cultural heritage as a second-generation mestiza, descendant of the Nahua indigenous group of central Mexico, which informs my understanding of different cosmovisions of life.

I am a culturally sensitive and affirming body psychotherapist, working with both neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals from diverse life circumstances. As such, I develop a tailored therapeutic process for each and every client.

About Me

I see emotional challenges as understandable responses to difficult life events, especially when considered within the broader context of a person's life. Experiences such as burnout, anxiety, panic attacks, relationship difficulties, self-sabotage, creative blocks, and depression are not isolated symptoms, but meaningful expressions of how a person has adapted to -and been shaped by- their circumstances. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we can explore what growth and change might look like for you, in a way that feels authentic, embodied, and aligned with your life.

I have been working with the bodily expression of emotions for over 25 years, first as a physical theatre artist, and now as a body psychotherapist supporting others in living a fuller life. I am deeply passionate about my work.
