“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.” –David Richo

I welcome you with an open heart.

My name is Sylvia Núñez and I am a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Bioenergetic Therapist in private practice in California.

I believe we all have the capacity to make healthy life changes to achieve inner trust and stability, as well as establish meaningful connections with family, friends and romantic partners.

I am invested in supporting your growth and healing by offering brain and body-based therapeutic approaches such as Bioenergetics, Brainspotting and EMDR. From the first session, I provide a secure space to help you connect with your emotions and body sensations, and invite the expression of all feelings.

I also share therapeutic tools to practice at home to help you integrate your experiences after the sessions, reduce stress and anxiety, and strengthen your communication abilities. Some of these techniques include breathing, grounding, movement and tension release exercises, slow tapping and inner child mindfulness among others.

It would be an honor to be a witness and companion in your healing journey.

I’m looking forward to meeting you.
