A safe space to heal, grow and reach your full potential.
Clinical psychologist in Quito. Sessions in Spanish, English, French and Portuguese.
Un espacio seguro para sanar, crecer y alcanzar tu máximo potencial.
“I haven’t slept properly in months and I don’t know if that’s normal any more.”
“I speak English all day, but I can’t cry in English.”
“I’ve built a life here and I still feel like I’m passing through.”
“I have friends here, but no one to talk to about this in my own language.”
I work from an integrative approach: what you bring sets the direction, not a manual. The first sessions are for understanding what is going on, how long it has been there, and what you would want to be different.
Most of the people I see live far from where they grew up.
Moving country changes things you cannot always name in the new language.
Part of the work is having somewhere to say them in your own.
In practice
Fifty-minute sessions, online, in Spanish or English. For anxiety, grief, loneliness, life changes and whatever else comes up along the way.
For anyone who built a life in another country and still feels like a visitor — the grief of leaving your place, the shock of starting over, the loneliness of having no one to say it to in your own language. I work with Latin American migrants in Europe and the United States, and with foreigners living in Ecuador.
Right now
Sessions are arranged in your local time, not Quito’s.
In practice
Sixty-minute sessions for two, online or in person in Quito. It also works when the two of you live in different time zones.
