I offer individual Gestalt counseling for adults in English and Spanish at Munich Therapy.
What brings you here?
You might be feeling overwhelmed, down or disconnected, or simply wanting space to understand yourself better. We can start wherever you are. I offer support with:
- Stress, anxiety & overwhelm
- Low mood, loneliness & feeling stuck
- Relationship difficulties & recurring patterns
- Life transitions—moving abroad, work and career changes, becoming a parent, facing uncertainty
- Grief & loss
- Identity, belonging & self-worth
- Reflection & personal growth
My approach
My work is grounded in Gestalt principles and methods, bringing attention to your thoughts, emotions, and body sensations. Together, we might slow down and notice how you respond to situations, explore patterns that feel stuck, and experiment with new ways of relating.
My style is warm, curious, and collaborative. I want you to feel safe, respected, and able to explore at your own pace. And I welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, and lifestyles.
About me
I grew up in Guatemala, studied in the U.S., taught English in Asia, and now live here, in Munich, with my wife and young son. Along the way, I’ve become deeply curious about the different paths people take through life—the experiences, relationships, and choices that shape us.
I’ve also known what it’s like to feel that there isn’t much room to be myself. This is a big part of what draws me to counseling: offering a space where you can feel welcome as you are, explore parts of yourself you may not yet fully understand, and discover how you want to continue shaping your life.
