Clients
Who Benefits Most from Body-Centered Therapy?
Body-centered and somatic therapy can be most helpful for people who:
Are very cerebral or "in their head", and find thinking and/or talking does not lead to the desired change or healing.
Identify as being touchy, triggered or reactive at any point and have a desire to understand why this emotional response arises.
Experienced childhood trauma, or other traumas, where memories are fuzzy or absent.
Do not want to explain or describe the issue, memory or concern, but still seek healing or closure.
Find movement, meditation, art or physical activities assist them in gaining groundedness, clarity or peace of mind.
Who Are Your Clients?
Adults, 18 years of age or older.
Youth, 14-17 years old.
Everyone deserves to feel dignified and safe - I am committed to anti-oppressive principles and affirm lived-experiences of all gender, sexuality, race, (dis)ability, sex-work, substance use, poverty, and other experiences marginalized in capitalist society.
I speak English, Farsi and French, however, counselling sessions are only conducted in English. You may contact me in any three languages, and we can discuss any language access needs you may have.
What Issues Can I Bring to Therapy?
I do not specialize in any specific issue or concern. You are welcome to bring any issue to therapy and we can work to address it together.
I have over 12 years of experience working with adults and youth who have experienced a vast variety of life challenges, including:
inter-relational conflict
anxiety and depression
life transitions
trauma from injustice, discrimination and/or violence
deeply engrained habits or addictions
grief and loss
emotional processing
sexual and gender identity
and more.
