Refugio means shelter in spanish. More than a physical place, we want Refugio to be the relationship that is created in the safe space between you and the therapist. Here, you are allowed to take a pause and observe your life and your relationships from a different perspective. The therapeutic skills that we believe are important for this to happen are:
Non judgemental stance
Confidentiality
Anti-discriminatory practice
Empathy and warmth
I graduated as a Clinical Psychologist in Universidad San Francisco de Quito. I continued my studies in Systemic Family Therapy, achieving an MSc and a Graduate Certificate from King's College London, in the UK
I have been part of several NHS services in the UK, some focused on adults and others focused in Children and Adolescents. In Ecuador, I have also provided psychotherapy services to families, couples and individuals in a private company, Conduit.
My first language is Spanish. However, I also provide therapy in English, which I am fluent in.
I support couples and individuals exploring or experiencing non monogamous relationships.
