Reclaim Your Desire, Pleasure, and Confidence

Sexuality is an essential part of our health, yet it is often one of the most silenced. We grow up surrounded by myths and misinformation, leaving many of us alone with anxiety or frustration. My work begins right there: giving you back the safety to understand what you feel, what you want, and what you need. I am an integrative specialist with over 12 years of experience, and my mission is to offer you a space where you can finally speak without fear, understand yourself without judgment, and heal without feeling "broken" or "guilty".

Who I Support

Dedicated to Spanish Speakers Worldwide

I provide specialized care for individuals, couples, and the LGBTQ+ community who feel most comfortable expressing themselves in Spanish. My practice is particularly focused on Spanish-speaking expatriates living abroad, helping you navigate relationship dynamics and emotional challenges while communicating in your native language.

My Core Focus

From Anxiety to Autonomy

My goal is to help you move from silence and doubt to a place of clarity and pleasure. Whether you are dealing with sexual pain, performance anxiety, or a crisis in your relationship, we will not just stay on the surface. We will address the root of the problem to transform what limits you, allowing you to live your intimacy with calm, freedom, and deep confidence.

Rediscover your pleasure and build an intimacy free from judgment and full of confidence.

An Integrative Journey to Wholeness

My Approach Is

My therapeutic style is defined by a balance between the "doing" and the "feeling." I do not view you through a lens of pathology or brokenness, but as a whole person navigating complex environments. My approach is Integrative and Contextual: I merge the practical, problem-solving structure of Cognitive-Behavioral Psychology with the emotional depth of Third-Generation therapies. This means we will not just symptom-manage; we will work to align your actions with your deepest values, creating a life that feels meaningful, resilient, and authentically yours.

01
Evidence-Based Flexibility

I believe therapy should fit the person, not the other way around. I move beyond rigid protocols by using "Psychological Flexibility" (ACT). This means rather than fighting to control every thought or sensation, I teach you practical skills to accept your internal experience and pivot toward what actually matters to you, reducing the struggle against anxiety and stress.

02
Deconstructing Shame

In our work on sexuality, my primary tool is permission. We create a judgment-free space to dismantle the myths, cultural taboos, and "performance scripts" that create anxiety. We move from a focus on "functioning" to a focus on feeling, helping you rewrite your relationship with pleasure from a place of curiosity and education rather than pressure.

03
Deep Emotional Processing

For deep-seated blocks, logic is often not enough. I integrate trauma-informed care and emotion-focused techniques to access the root of your reactions. We work on processing unprocessed emotions and regulating the nervous system, allowing you to heal old wounds that may be silently influencing your current relationships and self-esteem.

04
Contextual & Relational Clarity

We are shaped by our environment—whether that is the dynamic of a couple or the challenge of living abroad as an expat. I look at the "big picture" of your life. We work on building effective communication bridges and social skills, ensuring you feel understood and connected, not just within yourself, but within your relationships and your cultural context.

Your journey toward a fulfilling and confident life starts here.

Transforming Clinical Rigor into a Safe Harbor for Growth

My path as a therapist is guided by a deep respect for the human spirit and a firm belief in our innate capacity to heal.

My path to becoming an integrative therapist was not linear; it was driven by a deep desire to give a voice to what is often kept silent. Throughout my 12+ years of practice, I have worked in some of the most challenging environments—from coordinating violence prevention programs in NGOs to supporting reintegration in penitentiary institutions. These experiences taught me that true healing requires more than just clinical diagnosis; it demands a profound sensitivity to trauma, social context, and the hidden burdens we carry. I saw firsthand how myths, taboos, and shame around sexuality and mental health isolate people, and I committed my career to breaking those barriers.

This drive led me to specialize deeply, moving beyond traditional psychology into Clinical Sexology and Third-Generation Therapies. I realized that to truly help you, I needed tools that address the whole person—mind, body, and emotion. Today, my philosophy is grounded in creating a sanctuary where you can explore your vulnerability without fear. Whether I am supporting a couple in crisis, helping an expat feel "at home" while living abroad, or guiding someone to reclaim their pleasure, my work is dedicated to transforming your pain into resilience and your doubt into deep, authentic confidence.

A Judgment-Free Sanctuary

You can expect a space where no topic is off-limits. I actively work to dismantle shame and taboos, allowing you to express your deepest fears, desires, and vulnerabilities without fear of criticism. Here, your story is heard with total acceptance and professional empathy.

Practical Tools for Life

Healing happens in the moments between our meetings. I focus on providing you with actionable skills—from emotional regulation techniques to communication exercises—that help you navigate stress, conflict, and intimacy with confidence long after the session ends.

Beyond the Therapy Room

Impact Beyond the Therapy Room

A Trusted Voice in Mental Health

I am passionate about democratizing psychological knowledge. As a regular Mental Health Commentator on Cadena SER radio, I translate complex psychological concepts into clear, actionable advice for the general public. Additionally, I have designed and delivered training seminars for teachers and corporate groups, helping to spread vital tools for emotional intelligence and violence prevention across schools and workplaces.

Leadership & Social Responsibility

I have served as a Clinical Director for mental health platforms, ensuring high standards of care for patients and supervising teams of psychologists. My background also includes coordinating high-impact social programs, such as the "NOA" program for preventing juvenile violence and working within penitentiary institutions to rehabilitate offenders. This breadth of experience ensures that my practice is grounded in deep, real-world resilience and strategic leadership.
