About me

I'm certified Somatic Counsellor & Embodied Movement practitioner, Trainer of Mindfulness.
My spiritual curiosity and deep desire for freedom have taken me on adventures around the world. I have been fortunate to go through Gestalt Awareness Studies and have had the opportunity to experience many techniques that incorporate therapy and spirituality.

I completed the Power of Awareness training from the University of California-Berkeley, Greater Good Science Center and ATI and training in HP für psychotherapy at the Christoph Mahr Institute in Berlin. I also trained with top experts in modern psychology and neuroscience such as Stephen Porges, Peter Levine, Bessel van der Kolk and Tara Brach, on topics such as the treatment of trauma and pain of abandonment.

I am informed in Internal Family Systems Therapy and incorporate this therapeutic modality into my work with individuals, couples counselling and group work.

Some of the main trainings in the area of trauma treatment that I have completed are the Integrative Trauma Somatic Therapy Training and the Attachment Somatic Therapy Training. 

I also recently joined Clinical Trauma Professional Training Level 1 and 2 , working with the Neurobiological Legacy of Trauma & Integrative Sex and Couples Certification Training.

I believe that an integrative approach to humanity's pain, in which the body, mind, emotions and spirit have their equally important place, is the future of the healing arts.

*I understand that reaching out for counselling can be a daunting task, and it is my goal to make it as seamless as possible. Scheduling a free 20 minute online consultation is a great place to start. During it, we can get to know each other a bit, see if we're a good fit and and ask any questions you may have.

My approach

My work is based on three overlapping domains: somatic practice, mindfulness and cognitive comprehension. I offer a holistic framework for understanding and healing trauma and attachment wounds from a body-centered perspective.

IT'S A UNIFIED SOMATIC APPROACH TO SELF CARE & RESILIENCE
with a deeper understanding of the body’s relationship with social, environmental, developmental, relational, spiritual, and cultural wounding and healing.

Body intelligence plays a large role in my work. It is an often untapped resource in personal development and psychotherapy, yet the story told through "somatic narrative" - gestures, posture, prosody, facial expression, gaze, and movement- is sometimes more meaningful than a story told in words. What is unspoken but preserved with our bodies is as important as the dialogue and contact dynamics during a session with me.

These sessions are especially recommended for you if you resonate with any of the following points:

🔸 looking for more SUPPORT AND HELP: in times of unpredictability and rapid change
🔸 you're dealing with a sense of ANXIETY, STRESS and even TRAUMATIC memories. Feel stuck, numb, and have no energy
🔸 you want to understand the power of MIND-BODY connection and how it can shift your perspective towards life
🔸 you would like to improve or invite more intimacy into your RELATIONSHIP with people and the world around you, including COUPLE COUNSELLING for enhanced connection with your partner.

What you can expect in a session with me:
You will be invited into a safe space (whether in the office or online) where you decide for yourself where you want to sit and what supports you to relax enough to feel yourself and connect with me. You'll take home a sense of well-being - a better foundation, new ideas, and a fresh perspective on yourself. Each meeting will give you a new resource to support you in the week ahead and in your daily life..

Looking forward to meeting you
