Somatic therapy stems from Peter Levine’s, Waking the Tiger book on trauma treatment. It uses the body to process and digest stored trauma to heal at a deep tissue level and restore functioning to the autonomic nervous system.

This approach focuses on how stress, trauma, and transition live in the body, often beyond words. Together, we attune to bodily sensations, rhythms, and responses to help regulate the nervous system and restore a sense of grounding and safety.

Living abroad often brings profound emotional shifts alongside cultural change. For many expats, relocation can activate questions of identity, belonging, and attachment, as well as revive earlier relational patterns in unexpected ways. Therapy offers a space to explore these experiences with curiosity and depth.

This approach focuses on how past relationships, unconscious patterns, and cultural transitions shape your present inner world. Together, we explore how your history travels with you, how relationships—both past and present—inform your experience, and how meaning can emerge through the therapeutic relationship itself. Therapy becomes a place for reflection, integration, and repair as you navigate life across cultures.

Being a parent & caring for children is hard work. Somehow they know how to push all our buttons, and can be so emotionally demanding. We may find ourselves reacting, burnt out, consumed by guilt, or still adjusting to ourselves as being the primary parent or caregiver. We are not wired to parent alone, finding support through learning practical skills and techniques to engage with our kids, a new perspective or simply a space to process our own experience as children that might be activated by having our own children.

Internal Family Systems (IFS), or parts work sees the psyche as a system of different “parts,” each carrying its own perspective, memories, and emotions. Rather than pushing away or suppressing difficult parts, this work invites them into relationship—helping them feel heard, understood, and safely integrated into the whole self.

A key focus is tending to younger, wounded parts—often called the “inner child”—by offering a new, compassionate internal attachment. This allows old hurts and unmet needs from childhood to be acknowledged and healed, while fostering self-trust, emotional resilience, and a sense of wholeness.

Religious trauma therapy looks at the institutionally held beliefs, ideologies, energies, behaviors, and practices that have been dictated by religious leaders, religious communities and reinforced by a religious text. Some spiritual/religious traumas are easy to identify, but other types of spiritual trauma is concealed and hidden. You may find yourself being easily triggered, highly skeptical around religious spaces, or having visceral responses to organized religion all together. Together we can identify some of the tabooed traumas of institutional/religious trauma to begin your own healing journey.

Jungian shadow work is the integrative process of reconnecting to aspects of ourselves, memories, beliefs, or thoughts that have been disowned and suppressed into our subconscious. Many times these behaviors, emotions, beliefs are blocked from our conscious memory, and when we consistently reject and shun them, they tend to grow, demand more attention, and can cause harm to ourselves or others. With integrative shadow work, we befriend and integrate parts of us that have been disowned and heal our own wounds instead of projecting onto others.
