Services
Individual
I provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore personal challenges, heal from past traumas, and develop emotional resilience. My approach integrates inner child work, spirituality, mindfulness techniques, and ancestral exploration. By uncovering generational patterns and understanding their impact, we awaken your inner strength and resources to create lasting change.
Couples
I assist couples in transforming conflicts into opportunities for healing and growth. Through guided dialogue, partners gain a deeper understanding of each other's feelings and childhood experiences. Together, we move from blame and reactivity to understanding and empathy, creating a deeper, more loving connection.

Each family is a unique system influenced by its history and dynamics. I help families navigate conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen bonds. Incorporating ancestral exploration, we address how generational patterns affect family dynamics, fostering empathy and creating a harmonious and supportive family environment.
