Meet Maria
FSP Psychologist
Hi there! Welcome to Ancora! My name is Maria. I am a psychologist working with English and Spanish speaking adults, especially expats and migrants, who are navigating stress, life transitions, or emotional challenges.
Living abroad can bring uncertainty, homesickness, and the challenge of adapting to a new culture. As an expat myself, I understand how difficult it can be to adapt to a new environment while also dealing with your own internal experiences.
Ancora is a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported, while we explore thoughts, emotions, and behavioural patterns. Together, we work to develop more flexible and effective ways of responding to these experiences, with the aim of fostering meaningful, value-based change.
I can help you with…
-
Persistent worry, racing thoughts, difficulty relaxing, and feeling constantly on edge.
-
Sadness, lack of motivation, irritability, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others
-
Feeling overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or struggling to balance work, studies, and personal life.
-
Difficulties in communication, setting boundaries, managing conflict, or understanding recurring patterns in relationships.
-
Homesickness, cultural adjustment, identity questions, and building a sense of belonging in a new country.
-
A sense of being uncertain, unfulfilled, or unable to move forward in important areas of life.
-
Clarifying priorities and gaining confidence when facing important personal or professional decisions
-
Developing greater self-understanding, confidence, and emotional resilience.
