Empowerment through connection to the body

My Approach

My approach is deeply influenced by polyvagal, attachment, psychodynamic and systemic theories. These frameworks help guide my work in fostering connection and support for self-exploration. I also draw on Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, and Compassionate Inquiry approaches to therapy, and I use trauma-informed practices. Together, we will work towards increasing your ability to integrate and understand your experiences so that you can choose your next steps forward, whether that is improving or developing coping skills to increase your well-being and navigating life, healing from past experiences and trauma or developing strategies and skills to achieve your goals. Our journey together is about rediscovering your strength, your resilience, and the boundless potential for growth that resides within you. It's about moving forward with a sense of empowerment and self-awareness, crafting a life that you feel is authentic and fulfilling.

Somatic therapy taps into the mind-body connection, as well as addressing the body's responses to stress and trauma, somatic therapy promotes healing and helps individuals develop a greater sense of self-awareness. Together, these therapies provide a holistic approach to healing, addressing both mental and physical aspects of well-being.

It also allows for a wider range of therapists to choose from, allowing you to find the perfect match for your needs. Moreover, online therapy is often more affordable compared to in-person sessions, making it a cost-effective option for many.
