Hello! I am Elizabeth. As a psychologist, I offer you my assistance in regulating your nervous system.
I have developed expertise in utilizing the EMDR approach, somatic regulation, and Polyvagal Theory to guide the treatment process.
My therapeutic style promotes the functioning of the nervous system by incorporating psychoeducation, somatic practice for stress relief, inner child work, attachment repair, inner parts work, and reprocessing memories.
Mind-body healing at the nervous system level.
I have over 10 years of experience helping individuals suffering from trauma, anxiety & depress symptoms. I’m a licensed psychologist in both Chile and Singapore.
Additional certifications include psychodrama, Polyvagal theory, and Yoga for the Nervous System.
We understand all symptoms as an action in service of survival. Our goal is to make the three parts of our nervous system work together.
Body-mind intervention for self regulation and build resilience.
How can we improve our ability to regulate our Nervous system?
I provide this through my program!
EMDR models facilitate the reprocessing of traumatic memories, diminishing their emotional charge. A somatic approach through yoga and Polyvagal theory complements this by addressing the physical manifestations of trauma, and clear understanding of the nervous system fostering a deeper sense of well-being.

1:1 EMDR Programs
Long-term Therapy
Individual sessions with an EMDR approach are an excellent way to modify maladaptive neural networks in a safe environment.
Starting our process. I will teach you to explore your nervous system, detect threat signals in your body, identify early emotional triggers, coping resources and more. With the purpose of creating the somatic and nervous system capacity necessary for reprocessing adverse experiences.
We will meet once a week or every other week for a processing session focused on the area of your interest. I will provide guidance to you throughout this procedure, ensuring that it is customized to meet your specific requirements.
We work in cooperation. From a state of total presence, I’ll be there for you every step of the way. The process of EMDR processing doesn’t require you to share the worst parts of your past or talk about it in depth; even if you don’t express it verbally, your brain will continue to process the bodily sensations and emotions associated with the events.

EMDR Yoga & Polyvagal Theory.
Nervous System Healing:
Embrace the ability to come back to equilibrium, balance, and return to your state of safety and connection.
- Trauma (aka) stress stored in the nervous system, causing dysregulation.
This stored tension disrupts the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches, impacting emotional and physical well-being, causing dysregulation, such us:
• Overwhelmed
• Depression
• Procrastination
• Perfectionism
• Anger
• Poor concentration
• Hypervigilance
• Anxious
• Disconnected
• Detached
• Shut down
How do we get unstuck and how do we release trauma?
When we can access our bodies through the felt sense, then we can begin to discharge the trapped survival energy that is keeping us stuck in dysregulation and begin to feel creative and fully alive again.
How a regulated Nervous System brings an overall sense of well- being in your life?
A regulated nervous system plays a pivotal role in fostering overall well-being by maintaining a delicate balance between its sympathetic and parasympathetic branches.
Achieving equilibrium between these branches is essential for:
• Efficient stress management
• Influences emotional stability
• Improved cognitive function
• Emotional resilience
• Improved decision-making
• Sense of calm
Empower selfregulation
Minimize burn out, reduce anxiety, depression, and others. One method by which the nervous system awakens the sensory-motor system is through movement, which is why they are so therapeutic.
How breath affects your emotions and how it can help you feel better?
Stressful situations can change our pattern of breathing, cause shallow breathing, over breathing and a feeling of panic. Pranayama is a practice of voluntary modifying the breathing pattern.
According to Stephen Porges, the father of the Polyvagal Theory, breathing is the fastest way to regulate our autonomic nervous system. Inhales stimulate the Sympathetic nervous system and exhales stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system.

Go beyond the words and into the body through the use of breathing, movements, and visualization.
As a psychologist, I offer you a space of psychotherapy yoga & wellness,
I invite you to incorporate those techniques into your work on self-regulation.
You can start practicing this simple and powerful exercise, and little by little it will help quiet and still your mind.
Have you ever been through situations that tighten your chest, shrink your body, and it has been difficult for you to think and act clearly?
I understand you; I provide support to clients who are experiencing distress caused by intrusive symptoms such as an overwhelming feeling of fear, sadness, intrusive negative thoughts, or intense sensory experiences such as feeling agitated, blocked, or butterflies in the stomach. These issues are both distressing and frustrating for our daily routine, and cannot be resolved on their own.
Stress can get trapped in the body and nervous system and impact natural healing. My mission is to help you find where the stress is stuck in your body, and help to remove it, so you can feel free and reduce the overwhelming sensation.
The approach focuses on regulating your nervous systems’ activation, shifting it from a survival mode to a stabilization and calm state. This is achieved through the reduction, desensitization, and elimination of intrusive symptoms, which allows the brain to process the adverse experience organically and return to regulating itself.
If this is what you are looking for, please contact me to set up a 30-minute free consultation and explore if this approach is a good fit for you.
