Welcome to my Practice.
Until around March 20th, we were all immersed in a fast-paced lifestyle. For many, this was experienced as a restless race; some of the frequent complaints I heard in my therapy room were “Life feels too fast, too fragmented,” “There are not enough hours in the day to cover everything I need to do," "I wish I could stop and rest."
Interesting, isn't it?
Without much warning, the pandemic moved us into an utterly different direction,
a forceful pause. It has left us unprepared without a reference system to look at, throwing us into uncertainty, into the unknown. Our survival instinct is on-demand,
as is our resilience and ability to cope.
Pema Chödrön, a famous Buddhist monk, reminds us that meditation is about opening and relaxing with whatever arises, without picking and choosing. We did not select this crisis, it just happened; and it is vast and scary. But, maybe there is a way of navigating this difficult time with acceptance, greater ease, confidence, creativity, resilience, and—why not— a small prescription of faith. Faith, in this case, encompasses trusting in our self-preservation capabilities, our intuition, our communities, and our health care workers.
It is true, we are all experiencing fear; but fear can be a useful emotion at this time. It warns us of potential danger as a self-preservation device, and helps and empowers us to take care of ourselves.
In short, I hope to assist you; to be a catalyst so you can access your survival tool kit with ease while staying focused. I integrate multiple therapeutic techniques with a robust emphasis on mindfulness, Pranayama ( (breathing exercises), Meditation and I will encourage you to believe in your healing abilities and be there for you to help release part of the stress overload caused by the COVID-19 crisis.
I work with individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds, and I speak both Spanish and English fluently. I am adapting my practice to the current times by using telehealth services . Feel free to contact me for a free 15-minute online consultation.
Please be safe and healthy.
