As a Dance/ Movement Psychotherapist - body and mind therapist - I am described as fiercely compassionate, gracefully provocative, a passionate pattern finder, and full of curiosity around the human's experience. I like holding the messy stuff, the taboo, and honouring the magic within our bones and listening to human stories. I come to the psychotherapy profession with transparency. The areas of expertise I possess as a psychotherapist are where I have personally alchemized my pain into peace. My personal experience leads me to know that healing is not linear but circular. for this reason. 

As a Psychotherapist for the last 8 years my special interests are based in healing trauma, relationships issues- with us and the others- , self- worth issues, dissociation, unexplained body pains, work-related issues (burn-out).anxiety and depression. My special interest in trauma emerged from my somatic based studies where I studied the neurobiological roots of trauma, how trauma alternates not only our brain but also the nervous system. I am a great supporter of the body-mind connection, so I am working holistically to address both equally in the 50-minute sessions where I offer holistic psychotherapy which incorporates elements of body-based interventions. 

My approach in a nutshell is client-focused and solution-focused rooted in compassion and transparency. One of the main areas is working with the nervous system and the trauma/ tension that it holds. I incorporate different elements in my sessions from mindfulness, meditation, tapping therapy and integrative psychotherapy. My recent passion is somatic exercises which support the body to manage chronic pain.

Because of this, somatic healing therapies are also called body–mind therapies and represent the application of somatic psychology, which is the field concerned with the living experience of being embodied and acknowledging this experience as the basis of how we relate to and live in the world (Barrat, 2010).Body–mind therapies use healing interventions that work with the body to access and change feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. These interventions work with the body’s wisdom and leverage personal resources from each client (Barrat, 2010; Levine & Frederick).
