About Me
Psychological support grounded in dignity, context, and lived experience.
I'm a therapist and mental health professional with over 13 years of experience helping people and communities get through hard things — crisis, displacement, conflict, loss, and big life changes.
My work blends hands-on therapy experience with international humanitarian work in mental health and psychosocial support. I bring a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and person-centered approach — meaning I focus on your strengths, not just your struggles, and I pay close attention to the relationships and context around you.
Your story matters here — your culture, your values, your life circumstances. I believe emotional pain doesn't happen in a vacuum. It's shaped by our relationships, our sense of identity, our work, the losses we carry, the uncertainty we face, and the world we live in. My job is to understand all of that with you, not just treat a symptom.

Approach
You are more than the problem that brought you here.
My approach is relational and collaborative. It considers personal experience alongside the social, cultural, and professional contexts that shape it.
Trauma-informed
Safety, trust, choice, and pacing are central. You remain the expert on your own experience.
Culturally responsive
Your identity, language, values, culture, and community are part of the conversation.
Power-aware and rights-based
The work can make room for discrimination, displacement, unequal power, and demanding systems.
Practical and strengths-based
Support can include reflection, emotional regulation, self-understanding, and daily practices.

What about Confidentiality and Privacy?
Information shared during sessions, including personal details, clinical information, and session records, is handled confidentially and in accordance with applicable professional, ethical, and legal obligations in Ecuador.
Information will not be shared with anyone without your informed consent, except in limited circumstances where disclosure is required or permitted by law. These circumstances may include:
- A serious and immediate concern for your safety or the safety of another person.
- A legal or judicial requirement to disclose information.
- Situations in which there is a legal duty to take protective action, such as concerns involving a child or another person at risk.
- Professional consultation or supervision, where relevant information is shared only to the extent necessary and with appropriate care for privacy.
The limits of confidentiality, the handling of personal information, and the practical arrangements for online sessions will be discussed before therapy begins as part of the informed-consent process.
If you're working with an organization or receiving supervision, any information shared with them will be limited to what's necessary and agreed with you in advance.
What about online therapy and location?
For clients located outside Ecuador, the availability of online therapy will be considered on a case-by-case basis before services begin, taking into account the laws and professional requirements of the client's physical location during the session. Where therapy cannot legally or ethically be offered, we may provide general information, consultation, or support in identifying appropriate locally registered services instead.
