“When we're looking for compassion, we need someone who is deeply rooted, is able to bend and, most of all, embraces us for our strengths and struggles.” Brene Brown
And the journey continues…
I grew up in Spain and moved to the USA in 2000. I’m a licensed psychotherapist and an artist. Both professions are the paths to my inner exploration and creativity, and help me grow personally and professionally.
My career as a therapist began at a shelter for women and children where I helped these families process traumatic life events related to physical, emotional and sexual abuse.I have worked as a Spanish Professor, Social Worker and Educator at diverse academic and nonprofit settings in the USA, UK and Spain.
At a personal level, I grew up with a single mother, an absent father and four siblings. My home environment and childhood were difficult and painful. However, I discovered I was also very resilient and had the capacity to invest in my own recovery to stay grounded and connected with my reality.
My personal story and healing journey participating in the therapeutic modalities I offer to my clients, allows me to empathize, relate to their struggles and support their therapeutic process. As we say in Bioenergetics "we get wounded in relationships and we heal in relationships."
I’m invested in forming a secure relationship and guide you through your unique process and body-mind transformative experience.
Thank you for taking the time to read about me, Sylvia
