Are you ready to move in a new direction? Are you seeking more love, joy, freedom, creativity and connection? Are you feeling challenged by repeating patterns or stressful situations in your job and private life? We all face phases of transitions and change at one point in our life. Sometimes they happen without interruptions, at other times we may feel affected in our emotions, thoughts, sleep, job, relationships … and it depends on our resources how we are able to deal with them.

HOLISTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY:  I INVITE YOU TO SEE CHANGE AS AN INVITATION TO GROW, TO EXPLORE NEW WAYS OF BEING

Holistic Psychotherapy is based on the principle that each being consists of body, mind, emotions, spirit, environment, and roles played within of relationships. The word psychotherapy is derived from the two Greek words “psyche” meaning soul and “therapeuein” meaning to take care of, to guide, and to heal. Literally translated it means “healing the soul”.

In my practice we focus on developing your personal strengths, exploring new goals, developing unused potential and resources, and wellbeing of body, mind and spirit. I work with clients that are as equally dedicated to their transformation and success as I am. Together, we create the plan and time frame to make it happen.

TRAUMA TREATMENT: THE BODY REMEMBERS

I believe that the origin to many life challenges and patterns that we encounter over and over are our body’s attempt to process events from the past. They may stem from our childhood, infancy or events such as car accidents, natural disasters, 9/11 etc. We may or may not remember these consciously, but most of the times our body remembers – through tensions, back-pain, sleep-problems, unexplainable fears, flashbacks, nightmares, mood swings, and many other ways.

In our sessions, we attempt to become aware of, and properly process these symptoms. Treatment may include a variety of methods such as EMDR, Art Therapy, Flower Essences, Relaxation & Self Soothing Techniques, etc.  Throughout our sessions you may experience emotions, feelings or body-sensations. Through allowing them to surface we give our body the right to tell the story of what the child, the baby, the teenager or adult have felt; it is often only in this way that the ‘self’ from today is able to understand that in many situations it is not the grown-up self, but the often much younger one who may be angry, sad, disappointed, afraid, or frozen by what happened to him or her. Once this process is completed, those symptoms often completely disappear
