- As a therapist, I create space for reflection and encourage clients to slow down, helping them connect more deeply with their thoughts and emotions. Many of us fear our own feelings or try to avoid them, yet it’s often by allowing emotions to simmer down rather than rushing past them that we better come to understand and manage them.
- For me, a true sign of progress in therapy isn’t about changing who you are, but about reaching a place of self-acceptance. It’s when we can sit together in silence—not an empty, uncomfortable silence, but one that feels shared, calm, and grounding. This kind of silence doesn’t come from trying to fix things, but from embracing your own story as it is, without wishing it were different. It’s the result of hard conversations, facing difficult truths, and letting go of the pressure to change. In this space, there’s room for compassion and understanding, and from here, we begin to flourish.
- I collaborate with Proyecto ART as a psychotherapist.
- I work online in Spanish and English.
Irrelevant information about my personal life
- I am Colombian and since I can remember I have always had an interest in the unknown, that’s why very young I decided to leave my comfort zone, break frontiers and discover the diversity this world has to offer.
- The most beautiful thing about my country is that amid many adversities and complexities, we have always thrived by singing and dancing as a form of cultural expression.
- When people ask whether I prefer the sea or the mountains, I genuinely can’t choose, I enjoy both. That’s why I spent ten years in Barcelona. In 2024, I felt it was time to embark on a new adventure, and now I find myself in Oslo, surrounded by stunning mountains and breathtaking fjords. I work online and also travel back to Barcelona for in-person work when I can.
- I realized that I wanted to be a psychologist studying architecture.
- Yoga helps me ground myself, dance helps me process my emotions.
- I have a profound appreciation for nature in all its forms, I find inspiration and peace in the beauty of the natural world. Living in a place surrounded by such diverse scenery continually fuels my creativity and gratitude.
- I have come to describe my expat life as living in a “home with wings.” This journey has taken me to various places, allowing me to embrace diverse cultures and experiences. I know firsthand how it can feel to be uprooted, a sentiment many of my clients share. Yet, I have realized there’s a unique strength in our ability to create a sense of home no matter where we are. This adaptability fosters connection and belonging, reminding us that home is more about the relationships we build and the memories we create than about any specific location.
- Each language I learn teaches me to love in different ways, I express myself better in Spanish or English, but I also understand French, Catalan and Norwegian.
- I have coffee in the morning and tea in the evening.
- When I grow old I would love to have a ceramics workshop.
