How’s Therapy with Ana?

If you’ve ever wondered what therapy with me looks like, here’s a gentle glimpse into the process. Every person who sits with me brings a unique story, and our work together is always shaped around you.

Building Our Connection

Therapy begins with creating a safe and compassionate space where you can be fully yourself. You don’t have to perform, prove, or pretend. Whether you come with laughter, tears, silence, or uncertainty,everything is welcome here. Our relationship becomes the foundation for the healing work we do together.

Emotional Regulation and Self-Awareness

As we move forward, I’ll invite you to slow down and notice what’s happening inside of you. Sometimes this means finding words for feelings you’ve carried for years; other times it means gently sitting with emotions that feel overwhelming. Together, we explore at a pace that feels safe, helping you build the capacity to regulate your emotions and deepen your self-awareness.

Exploring Patterns

Once safety and self-awareness are established, we begin looking at the patterns that shape your relationships: with yourself and with others. These patterns often come from old wounds or survival strategies that no longer serve you. In therapy, we’ll bring these into the light, so you can understand them with compassion and begin to make new choices that align with the person you want to be.

Choice and Responsibility

With awareness comes choice. Therapy is about recognizing the space between what has been automatic and what is possible. Here, you’ll learn to take responsibility for your healing, not in a blaming way, but in an empowering way. This step is about reclaiming your agency: deciding how you want to show up, setting boundaries, and making choices that honor your values and your growth.

An Integrative Approach

I use a holistic lens, drawing from different therapeutic modalities to meet your unique needs. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you, because you’re not broken. It’s about uncovering the parts of you that have been silenced or hidden, building trust in your inner voice, and nurturing a kinder, more secure relationship with yourself.

Integration and Growth

Personal development and healing are not linear, quick, or easy. But over time, you’ll notice subtle yet powerful shifts on how you speak to yourself, how you show up in relationships, how you navigate challenges. These changes may feel gradual, but together they form a strong foundation for lasting transformation and a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are.

 If you’re considering therapy, know that you don’t have to walk this journey alone. I’ll meet you with warmth, acceptance, and curiosity, wherever you are.

With love,

Ana
