If you are here, you may be dealing with stress, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, or recurring patterns that cannot be resolved by thinking alone. You might notice tension in your body, anxiety, difficulty feeling settled, or the sense of being stuck in familiar reactions.
I believe every person has the capacity to develop a more supportive relationship with stress, emotions, and life experiences. Working with the autonomic nervous system can play an important role in this process.
My approach to body-oriented trauma work grew not only from professional training but also from personal experience with the effects of long-term stress and inner overactivation. I grew up in an environment where relationships were shaped by care and love, but also by strain and limited emotional stability. Early on, I learned to adapt to external expectations while setting aside my own needs.
Later, I lived and worked internationally, including in the United States and Japan. Despite external changes, physical stress responses remained present. Through studying nervous system regulation, I began to understand how persistent activation patterns can develop over time — a state sometimes described in body-oriented trauma work as a “global high.”
In my work, it is important to me to convey that many physical and emotional symptoms are understandable responses of the nervous system. They often reflect protective strategies that once helped manage challenging experiences. Understanding these patterns can open new possibilities for change.
I integrate systemic short-term therapy with body-oriented nervous system work inspired by Somatic Experiencing®. Together, we explore how past experiences shape perception, relationship patterns, and stress responses today. This allows insights to emerge not only on a cognitive level, but also through new bodily experiences of regulation and stability.
Creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported is central to my work. Change does not come from quick solutions, but from experiences that unfold at a pace that feels right for you — in connection with your own resources and your nervous system.
My therapeutic work is grounded in over 500 hours of trauma-focused training, as well as advanced education in systemic therapy and body-oriented approaches to stress and trauma. In addition, my background working internationally and in leadership roles informs my sensitivity to life transitions, cultural contexts, and complex personal situations.
I particularly enjoy working with people who want to better understand their patterns, strengthen self-regulation, and develop a more stable connection with themselves and others.
