I specialize in relationship issues, supporting individuals, couples and families. Attachment injuries and loss can affect how we feel about ourselves and limit our engagement with others. I can help you identify and let go of emotional reactivity and defensiveness. My main modalities are Somatic therapy and Internal Family Systems.

I also offer Somatic therapy and EMDR to support people struggling with post-traumatic stress.

I offer EMDR to support people struggling with PTSD. Processing trauma in this way helps release emotional charge stored in the body and overcome past experiences that hold us back from living life fully. If you feel that you are stuck in a loop, this work can help you let go and move on.

First session

In our first session I would like to hear of things you value and what you would like to be different in your life.

Strengths

Over the years I observed how limiting beliefs and resistance to change keep people stuck. I believe that honoring the mind-body-soul connection is an effective pathway for healing and reclaiming well being. Being a Daoist, I value living authentically, inner peace, and aligning with nature.

Ideal clients

I find that my work is most effective with people who strive for personal growth and self realization. I incorporate Somatic therapy to help connect with the body and calm the nervous system. People who benefit most from this practice are those who are open to exploring the energy exchange between them and the world. Understanding how what we project affects others, allows us to unload the burden of unprocessed emotional charge and to change how we show up moving forward.

Treatment methods

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I use IFS to help people understand how trauma was managed in their system. What parts are in charge and which parts are restricted due to fears and defenses.

I like her approach. She offers perspective without forcing what she thinks as a verdict. She gives me room to decide for myself. She offeres good perspective and points to reflect on. Im looking forward to diving deeper into parts work and eventually EMDR if its appropriate.
