Therapies
Everyone has a right to mental health care
I work with people both in my offices in Madrid or Hoyo de Manzanares and online.
I also work with people outside of Spain, internationally, and work to find a time that works for them across different time zones.
Child Therapy
Children need to experience a sense of safety and connection to be able to open up when they feel lost, angry or scared. They have a different rhythm and language. Play is their language of learning and connection.
It’s important to make therapy fun as well as effective. I use play therapy, art therapy, sandtray therapy, mindfulness, breath, and cognitive-behavioral strategies help children build resilience, self-esteem and establish the trust necessary for change to occur.
Common issues I’ve worked with include:
- School difficulties
- Behavioral issues
- Depression/Anxiety
- Social anxiety/ Poor social skills
- Loneliness
- Birth trauma/Adoption issues
- Acculturation issues
Individual Psychotherapy
Techniques based on the latest neuropsychology to strengthen brain resilience in response to stress and trauma with a focus on strengthening connections.
Mindfulness, Gestalt, art therapy and somatic techniques are used to help clients gain more understanding in their challenges and develop a sense of power and agency in their lives.
Anxiety, Trauma and Depression
Somatic body and mindfulness techniques based on the lastest neurobiology findings are used to teach skills, alleviate symptoms and reinforce brain/body resilience.
Resilience is something that can be cultivated through behaviors, thoughts, and actions. Always in a safe and relaxed client-centered environment.
Family Therapy
Family therapy can be an important accompaniment to child or individual therapy to establish new and healthier dynamics.
Communication and listening skills are infused with fun dynamics to help restore a positive balance to the family.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is an important addition to individual sessions as a way to improve interpersonal communication
Art therapy, body movement, communication skills, relaxation and visualization are some of the techniques used to develop emotional and social intelligence.
