About me

As a certified Somatic Counsellor, Embodied Movement practitioner, and Trainer of Mindfulness, I'm committed to incorporating diverse modalities to support holistic healing journeys. My spiritual curiosity and quest for freedom have led me on adventures around the world, enriching my understanding of the human experience.

In addition to my foundational trainings, including the Power of Awareness program from the University of California-Berkeley, Greater Good Science Center, and ATI, as well as HP für psychotherapy training at the Christoph Mahr Institute in Berlin, I've had the privilege of learning from esteemed experts in modern psychology and neuroscience.

Engagements with luminaries like Stephen Porges, Peter Levine, Bessel van der Kolk, Tara Brach, Pat Ogden, Janina Fisher, Arielle Schwartz and Richard Schwartz have deepened my understanding of trauma treatment and the complexities of emotional pain.

Informed by Internal Family Systems Therapy, Inner Relationship Focusing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, I integrate these therapeutic modalities into my work with individuals, couples counselling, and group facilitation.

Furthermore, my commitment to trauma-informed care is underscored by completion of trainings such as Integrative Trauma Somatic Therapy, Attachment Somatic Therapy, and Clinical Trauma Professional Training Levels 1 and 2, which have equipped me to address the neurobiological legacy of trauma and offer integrative approaches to sex and couples counselling.

I'm also happy to share that I recently expanded my expertise by completing training in Somatic EMDR Therapy, adding another dimension to the depth of healing work I offer.

*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.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
Somatic ExperiencingRecommended for those who want to use the mind-body connection to address the effects of trauma and restore natural regulation of the nervous system.

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
