Supporting You Through Life’s Challenges

Cecilia brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to her practice. She has a deep passion for working with clients of all ages who are dealing with chronic pain and illness, including fibromyalgia, chronic migraines, inflammatory conditions, and connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. She understands how these challenges can affect not just physical health but also emotional and mental well-being, particularly for younger individuals who are often underserved in these areas.

In addition to chronic health concerns, Cecilia helps clients navigate a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, school challenges, grief, stress, and both medical and non-medical trauma. Her holistic approach draws from a variety of therapeutic techniques, ensuring that each client’s unique needs are met with care and attention.

Cecilia’s therapeutic style is grounded in unconditional positive regard, fostering a sense of self-compassion and acceptance in her clients. She blends evidence-based therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) with mindfulness and somatic techniques. Her integrative approach helps clients address both the mind and body, creating a well-rounded and effective path toward healing.

Whether working with individuals or families, Cecilia seeks to empower her clients to build resilience, enhance their emotional well-being, and find solutions to life’s challenges. Her dedication to her clients’ success is evident in her thoughtful, creative, and validating approach to care.
