"Being embodied and in connection with your environment, so that you participate consciously and fully in your life."
In therapy, I focus on health, quality of life, and finding meaning. It is important for someone to feel at home in themselves and their own body, especially after adversity, challenging relationships, difficult events, loss, illness, and stress. In therapy, we work on discovering and connecting with one's own potential for change and recovery. I am happy to help you find your individual path within this process.

As a dance therapist and body-oriented therapist ( Master Somatic Movement Therapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner ), I work primarily non-verbally. The sessions are therefore mainly experiential, and working with the body is central. After all, the body does not lie and tells more than 1,000 words…

Method
In an intake interview (introductory session) I tune in to personal needs, and then come up with a proposal for a tailor-made process. The duration of a process and the chosen interventions depend entirely on the person and the question. What does keep coming back is the attention for the body.
Your body and your movements are both a source of information and an entry point for the therapy: how you move and what you experience in your body tells a lot about how you are, feel and think. Your patterns and problems become visible in how you move, which is the starting point for the (change) process. Through the body and in movement you (re) connect with yourself and your environment, you learn to feel and become aware of what is / is not good for you. There is more balance in the body, thinking and feeling.
You don't have to be able to dance or be good at any kind of movement. In the therapy sessions I always tune in to you as a person, what is present in the moment and what becomes visible in the (expression) movement. Which methods and interventions I choose depend on your personality and (help) question. It also looks at what is really important to you in your life and what can support you in this.
