Asking for help is not giving up,
it's refusing to give up.
An empathic approach rooted in kindness and acceptance.
In everyone’s life there are hurdles along the way and sometimes we get so involved that it is difficult to see the forest from the trees.
It can be incredibly helpful to get an independent, empathic supporter who can shine light on missing pieces and guide us to see the full picture. Then we can make decisions grounded in ourselves, rooted in our believes and taking into account the entire scope of our reality.
My approach to working is inspired by existential, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapies.
In addition to elements of sensory motor psychotherapy and the polyvagal theory, I often integrate mindfulness and the body in general as it is a vessel of infinite wisdom and holds more residues of the past that we can imagine. I also incorporate teachings from my current training with Dr. Gàbor Màtè’s as a Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner.
After an intake session where we get to know each other, I will let you take the lead on topics that arise for you and you would like support with. I implement a client centered approach tailored to your needs, speed and depth. The most important pathway of our work is the connection we share. Through our bond, our open and honest communication we will begin to not just understand but actually experience the dynamics of your life. With curiosity and gentleness we will work on uncovering old repeating patterns, underlying ideas and motives to understand how you have become who you are. We will try to make connections between your body, thoughts, emotions and behaviors to see what is keeping you stuck or dragging you down. Through increased self awareness we will practice to feel compassion and acceptance and learn a kinder and healthier coexistence with ourselves/yourself.
The most important lesson I have learned through my own journey, both personally and professionally, is that everyone has a story. Every one.
There is no place for judgment, shame or criticism. Once you understand a person’s story only compassion, understanding and empathy exists. I hope for you to see and feel all the wonderful things you have forgotten about yourself through the struggles of shame and pain and bring you closer to a more authentic self and fulfilled life.
Life can be hard, but it’s easier with the right support.
