Children & Adolescents

Families turn to me for a multitude of different reasons. This may be a significant life transition, dealing with low self-esteem, difficulties with social interactions, phobias, anxiety, anger, and depression. Other times it´s simply a gut feeling or a need for support in a safe and professional environment.

​In therapy, we communicate through verbal conversation, art, creativity, and play. Using art and play can help with processing sensitive subjects, reducing anxiety, strengthening self-regulation abilities, and enhancing a sense of confidence.

The therapeutic process is always adapted to the client´s specific needs and personal interests and evolves with the client as time goes on.

As part of the therapeutic process, I suggest having additional meetings with parents and caregivers on a monthly basis. This will help us work together on giving the child the best possible support. ​

Contact me for a free consultation call, to ask any questions you may have, and talk about the most relevant support I can offer you and your child.  

Adults

We all need more support at some point in our lives. People contact me when dealing with a personal crisis, a significant life transition, or when struggling with low self-esteem, stress, phobias, anxiety, and depression. Or simply when curious about self-development.

​In sessions, we explore all aspects of experience (feelings, thoughts, physical body, behaviors). This guides me and the client when understanding in depth what motivates or inhibits them, and how best to support them in creating change and improving their well-being.  

​As a therapist, I strive to listen carefully, have an open dialogue with my clients, approach each one with sensitivity, and make sure to follow their personal pace.

Contact me for a free consultation call, to ask any questions you may have and see if we could be a good fit for therapy.

Women - Birth Oriented Therapy

I support women during all stages of prenatal and postpartum. When trying to conceive, to be able to emotionally prepare for birth, to process a birth experience, during the first stages of parenthood, or after experiencing loss.

​Becoming a mum is a tremendous life change that affects the emotional, hormonal, physical and social aspects of our being.  It can bring up intense emotions and feelings, sometimes confusing and contradicting. It can bring up joy and excitement together with frustration, regret, anger, guilt, or shame.

Therefore, I think it's only natural to seek more support during this time. A safe and non-judgmental place that makes space for pain and struggles, and at the same time, helps find back strength and gain confidence.

​Therapy doesn’t need to be a long process for all, it can also be a few sessions that look at a specific subject and event and be just as impactful.

​Contact me for a free consultation call, to ask any questions you may have, and to see if therapy can benefit you at this time in life. ​
