Approach

Treatment Approaches
Body therapyRecommended for those who want to connect their mind and body to release stress or trauma through physical sensations and movement.
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
Trauma Informed CareRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.
💭My approach is integrative meaning that I consider multiple theories and techniques in creating the right therapeutic plan for every persons' needs, as tailored and unique as their needs, wishes and concerns.

📚 I work through an Integrative, Somatic and Trauma-informed approach bringing in knowledge from Somatic Psychotherapy (Body Psychotherapy), Polyvagal Theory, Parts Work (IFS), Yoga and Mindfulness-based Interventions, Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Non-violent Communication.

✔️ This approach allows you to work through difficult, stuck emotions, situations or memories and release their change so that you can live your life unburdened.

✔️ You'll be able to reconnect to younger versions of you or repressed emotions and memories to feel more whole and at ease with your history and overcome present struggles.

✔️ I can help you recalibrate your nervous system, increase resilience, self-trust, self-confidence and tranquility to come back to a sense of safety and connection with yourself and others.
