About

Rooted in an eco-psycho-social context, I support adult individuals and couples to practice mindful self compassion and mutual empathy. I hold a non-pathologizing perspective, emphasizing your innate wholeness and unique capabilities. Most of my clients are processing trauma, anxiety, shame, grief, co-dependence, and/or ADHD patterns with the aim of experiencing more ease and security in relationship to themselves and others. As a holistic-somatic therapist, sessions include guidance in cultivating felt-sense resources, and body practices which support clients to gain awareness and evolve adaptive survival strategies. Together we can focus on your strengths and help you cultivate a non-judgmental relationship to both the comfortable and uncomfortable parts of your self, making room for more freedom. When appropriate, exploring lifestyle habits like sleep, diet, exercise, socializing and spending time in nature can be part of the holistic therapeutic process that I offer.
