About Me

My approach has its anchor in integrative psychotherapy, and navigates 20 years of personal study and curiosity in healing and spirituality, as well as 25 years of travel, adventure and cross-cultural communication, giving me a perspective on life that is formed by many angles and orientations. ​ I have a particular interest in the brain-body connection, biography work, how the nervous system develops through childhood and how it receives support and regulation now as an adult. These lead to an approach that is attachment-informed and trauma-informed, allowing for my work to support the whole person in therapy, healing, integration, regulation and transformation. ​ My work is supported by many trainings in movement, dance, brain games, meditation, breathwork, psychotherapy (integrative and attachment-informed EMDR), creativity and biography, all of which empower and enable me to understand and develop the self-care practices and emotional literacy which now form the tools and resources I draw from and offer in my work. ​ In session, all of this becomes a foundation from which I offer empathic presence and dedicated attention to you on your journey, providing guidance where asked for, and witness where needed and offering tools and practices which are aligned to your goals and wishes, supporting long-lasting and empowering change and transformation.
