In our fast-paced lives, we often disconnect from our bodies, ignoring the signals. Unresolved traumas and emotions often become stored in the body as physical sensations or tensions. By working with the body, you will access insights and emotions that are difficult to express through words, fostering self-awareness and making choices that align with your well-being.

Schema therapy goes beyond surface-level symptoms to uncover the root causes of your struggles. It helps you identify deeply ingrained negative patterns that have been holding you back, often since childhood. By understanding where these patterns originate, you gain insights that empower you to create lasting change.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Response) is a groundbreaking therapeutic approach that addresses the emotional and psychological impact of traumatic experiences. Trauma (meaning anything that overwhelms a person’s system), whether from major life events, childhood struggles, or distressing memories, can create emotional blocks, anxiety, depression, and even impact relationships. EMDR offers a structured, research-backed method to process and heal from these wounds.
