About this IFS professional:
My therapeutic approach is shaped by both my own therapy process and formal training. A major life change in my early thirties led me to mindfulness and a deeper interest in how we relate to ourselves and others. Training in Gestalt therapy strengthened this foundation, with its focus on awareness, present-moment experience, and more authentic contact in relationships. Later, I trained in Internal Family Systems and somatic approaches such as TRE. IFS offers a clear and compassionate way to understand our inner protective patterns and to build Self-leadership, better emotional regulation, and presence. In my work, I combine IFS and somatic methods to support better self-awareness, regulation, and emotional and relational resilience.
