Therapist for Expats | Accredited in The Netherlands

Practicing in The Hague and its surroundings


Having studied Psychology for 6 years, I am graduated in Psychology and Licensed in Psychological Sciences from a University in Chile.  I am currently practicing in The Netherlands as an Alternative Mental Health Therapist, meeting Dutch Wkkgz quality standards.


I´ve developed an Integrative, Creative and Heart-Centered Approach to creating a more conscious mental health. I use techniques such as deep analysis of the subjective identity, analysis of dreams, dance-art-play therapy, Jungian archetypal symbology, breathing/relaxation techniques and therapeutic meditation.

TRANSPERSONAL PSYCHOLOGY

“TP attempts to integrate timeless Wisdom with modern western Psychology and translate spiritual principles into scientifically grounded, contemporary language. It addresses the full spectrum of Human Psycho Spiritual development from our deepest wounds and needs to the existential crisis of the human being, to the most transcendent capacities of our consciousness.” (M.Caplan)

DANCE OF THE SOUL

It is Dance Movement Therapy. Dance of the Soul intends to awaken and restore the body from repressed unconscious complexes, so it becomes a healthy vessel to house the Psyche and Soul, and get back in touch with emotions and feelings, promoting self-awareness, self-esteem and mind&body balance.

THERAPEUTIC MEDITATION 

I’ve been practicing meditation for almost 20  years, experiencing its benefits in myself.  Thereby I integrated Meditation in my professional practice as an effective way of Self transformation.  I teach my patients an Integrative way of Therapeutic Meditation and muscle relaxation to naturally overcome psychosomatic issues, gain self-knowledge and consciousness expansion.

PLAY THERAPY

In a Therapeutic Play setting, repressed thoughts and emotions are acted out. Children and adults do not need to tell about their inner conflicts, but they are expressed in a Creative way, allowing painful thoughts and feelings to rise gently to the surface of consciousness, be addressed and worked through in Therapy.

NATURAL OILS AND RELAXATION

AromaTouch massage technique is an approach to applying 100% pure Natural Oils along the back, ears, hands and foot, where all the nerve endings of organs are found.
It is a Natural therapeutic way to balance body and mind by reducing physical and emotional stressors.

A natural path to Healing

I attempt to provide a relationship of compassion and understanding, in which a Person may feel safe enough to relax and communicate freely his/her problems. The relationship flows as a dynamic and vital force for growth and change, facilitating verbal and non-verbal symbolization, narration, and expression of conscious or unconscious conflict.

Analysis of dreams, art-dance-play therapy, archetypal symbology, guided meditations can be part of the scheme of work. 
I base my Professional help on 4 key pillars to Personal Growth and transformation:

• Transmuting suffering
• Reparing childhood trauma
• Shifting ego-identity into Self-Identity
• Transforming body consciousness

I do not make use of clinical diagnosis, therefore I do not refer clients to psychiatrists and I do not suggest the use of psychiatric medicine nor any other chemical medicine.

Dance of the Soul

There are many different types of Dance Movement Therapy. Dance of the Soul is one of them, which I developed based on my training in various forms of dance therapy and many years of experience working with individuals and groups. 

“We dance to shed skins, to tear off masks, crack molds, and experience the breakdown… the shattering of borders between body, heart and mind” Grabielle Roth (founder of 5Rhythms)
