Don’t suffer in silence,
Talk about anything.
In therapy, you can talk about anything that’s on your mind, and I will listen and support you.
You can speak openly and vulnerably about yourself; our conversations are confidential and judgement-free.
Please note that therapy sessions are offered in English, Italian and Spanish.
Types of Therapy
I appreciate that all individuals and circumstances are different and therefore require different approaches in therapy. Whether you are already familiar with therapy or you don’t know much about it at all, here is some basic information about the types of therapy that I offer:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Change is something that most people aspire to achieve in their lives, but it can be a daunting task to undertake on our own. This is where Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) comes in handy. CBT is a well-established and highly effective approach to dealing with deep-seated emotional and psychological issues. It works by bringing our negative thoughts and behaviors to light, helping us understand the root causes of our problems, and offering practical tools and techniques to overcome them.
CBT is especially useful for individuals who struggle with stress, anxiety, or depression. These conditions can be debilitating, making it hard to focus on day-to-day activities and responsibilities. However, with the help of CBT, individuals can learn to transform their mindset and adopt a healthier perspective towards life. By identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, CBT empowers individuals to take control of their lives and work towards achieving their goals.
Mindfulness Therapy
Mindfulness therapy is a powerful tool for individuals seeking to enhance their mental wellbeing. At its core, mindfulness emphasizes the importance of being fully present in the moment and cultivating a non-judgmental awareness of our thoughts and feelings.
By training the mind to focus on the present moment, individuals can develop the skills they need to better manage challenging situations. Mindfulness helps people to recognize their negative thought patterns and learn to respond to them in a more constructive way, rather than allowing them to take control.
Through regular practice, mindfulness can help individuals to transform seemingly overwhelming circumstances into manageable ones. By cultivating a sense of calm and inner peace, individuals can learn to approach life's challenges with greater resilience and a more positive outlook. With mindfulness therapy, the power of the mind truly becomes a force to be reckoned with!
Complimentary Techniques
Breath work
Breathing techniques are a simple yet powerful tool for promoting holistic wellness and facilitating transformational change. The practice of breath work encompasses a diverse range of therapeutic exercises that are designed to address the interconnected nature of our physical, emotional, and mental states.
By consciously controlling our breath, we can tap into the body's natural healing mechanisms and alleviate tension and stress. Deep breathing techniques can help to reduce physical symptoms of anxiety and depression, such as elevated heart rate and muscle tension, and promote a sense of relaxation and calm.
Moreover, the benefits of breath work extend beyond the physical realm, helping to calm emotional turbulence in the mind and promote a greater sense of mental clarity and focus. By integrating regular breath work practices into our daily routines, we can unlock a wealth of transformative benefits and cultivate a more balanced, harmonious relationship with ourselves and the world around us.
Meditation
Meditation is a powerful tool for achieving inner peace and promoting holistic wellness. By focusing the mind and eliminating distractions, meditation helps to produce a deep state of relaxation and tranquility.
During meditation, individuals learn to cultivate a non-judgmental awareness of their thoughts and feelings, allowing them to disengage from the stream of jumbled thoughts that may be crowding their mind and causing stress. By letting go of these distractions, individuals can achieve a heightened state of clarity and mental focus, enabling them to approach life's challenges with greater resilience and positivity.
The benefits of meditation extend beyond the mind, with research indicating that regular meditation practice can have a positive impact on physical health, including reducing blood pressure and inflammation, improving sleep quality, and boosting the immune system. Through meditation, individuals can clear away the information and stress overload that can accumulate throughout the day, and find peace and tranquility in the present moment.
