Short Bio
I have been training in Somatic Developmental Psychology since 2017, in an International system called Bodynamic based in Denmark (www.bodynamic.com). I have completed the following courses in the past years:
-Bodynamic Foundation Training (2017)
-Bodynamic Shock Trauma/PTSD Training (2019 - 2026)
-Bodynamic Practitioner Training (2021 - 2024)
-Destructive Shame vs Good Shame, Master Class Workshop - (October 2020)
-Developmental Trauma, Master Class Workshop (November 2020)
-Narcissism Workshop (2021)
-Embodiment of Emotions (Feb 2024)
-Conflict Resolution (July 2020)
-IMAGO Clinical Training, Module 1 (Dec 2023 - Jan 2024)
Grounded in extensive training in Somatic Psychology and shaped by years of personal therapeutic work, I offer somatic therapy for individuals who wish to create meaningful change in their lives through body-based awareness and development.
My work is rooted in Bodynamic Somatic Developmental Psychology, a developmental approach that recognizes the body as a source of psychological resources. Rather than breaking down defences, Bodynamic focuses on strengthening internal resources and supporting the development of capacities such as boundaries, grounding, self-regulation, and relational clarity.
In our work together, you will be gently and intentionally challenged, just enough to support progress without overwhelm. A central focus of our sessions is cultivating self-observation, so you can better understand your patterns, responses, and choices in everyday life. I bring structure and clarity to the therapeutic process, helping identify key psychological themes while remaining responsive to what emerges in the present moment.
Each session includes a small, collaborative contract to support your development step by step, ensuring the work remains purposeful, paced, and aligned with your goals.
You are welcome to book a free 15-minute Zoom consultation to explore whether we are a good fit to work together.
