Body-Mind Psychotherapy
An Integrative and Personalized Approach
The work we do together will focus on helping you finding practical ways to feel better and take control of your healing process. By exploring your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, we’ll identify strategies that help you move forward with greater confidence and balance.
Your mind and body are deeply connected, and true well-being comes from understanding and integrating both. That’s why our sessions will include tools and exercises tailored to you—such as breathwork, voice work, and physical grounding techniques—to help you navigate challenges and build resilience.
As a Psychologist and Psychotherapist, I’ve seen how addressing both mental and physical aspects of a person’s experience creates lasting, meaningful change. Years of academic research and hands-on practice have given me the skills and perspective to support you effectively.
I work with people at all stages of life, including children, teens, adults, and older individuals. My experience with diverse ages and backgrounds allows me to adapt therapy to your unique needs and goals.
Psychotherapy is a collaborative process. Together, we’ll work at your pace, respecting your goals and personal rhythm. I am here to guide you and support you as you find your own path to well-being, strength, and a more fullfilling life.
What we will work on:
- Managing Emotions and Mental Health: Navigate emotions like anger, fear, and sadness, while addressing anxiety, panic, and depression.
- Healing Trauma and Complex Challenges: Tackle trauma, PTSD, OCD, and eating disorders with personalized strategies.
- Life Transitions and Relationships: Guidance for children, teens, and elderly facing challenges like bullying, learning issues, or aging.
- Building Confidence and Resilience: Boost self-confidence, energy, and focus to handle life’s demands.
- Enhancing Self-Understanding and Well-Being: Achieve emotional balance and connect with yourself on a deeper level.
Voice, Breath, and Body
Fitzmaurice Voicework®
Fitzmaurice Voicework® helps you connect with your inner voice and express yourself with pleasure and grounding. Originally developed for actors by Catherine Fitzmaurice, this method now benefits a wide range of people, from those seeking personal growth to those improving public speaking, speech rehabilitation, or vocal awareness.
This approach explores the relationship between body, breath, voice, imagination, and presence. By integrating physical experience with mental focus, it develops vibrant, resonant voices that convey intention and emotion with ease. Breath and voice, at the crossroads of body and mind, also enhance creativity, mindfulness, and healing.
- Destructuring: The first phase uses Tremorwork® to release tension, encourage spontaneous breathing, and unlock vocal expression.
- Restructuring: The second phase fosters effortless communication using Catherine’s “focus line” techniques for free, focused vocal expression without strain.
What we’ll work on:
- Breath and Vocal Presence: Cultivate a strong, confident voice through breath and vocal techniques.
- Self-Awareness and Grounding: Build a deeper connection to yourself and enhance emotional stability.
- Communication Skills: Improve interactions at work and within your family, fostering clarity and respect.
- Assertiveness and Confidence: Develop tools to express yourself boldly and authentically.
- Vocal Exploration and Vitality: Unlock your voice’s full potential for self-expression and aliveness.
Body Awareness in Movement and The Nervous System
Feldenkrais Method® and Qi Gong
Awareness Through Movement®, Functional Integration®, and Qi Gong place the connection between body and mind at the center of their approach. Through gentle, guided movements, you’ll gain a deeper sense of your body in motion and rediscover the joy of moving with ease. By focusing sensations and practicing movements with intention, you will cultivate self-awareness, improve physical health, and enhance cognitive functions like attention and memory.
Scientific research has shown that maintaining a healthy nervous system requires training that engages the whole body. The Feldenkrais Method® is highly effective in preventing or rehabilitating physical and cognitive dysfunctions, enhancing everyday movement, and optimizing performance. It equips you with practical tools to move through life with greater ease and confidence.
My journey to becoming a certified Feldenkrais Practitioner has deepened my understanding of the profound connection between body and mind. This conviction inspired me to collaborate with the University of Almería (Spain) on research examining the method’s effects on cognitive functions (attention and memory) and motor abilities (balance and coordination). I received my certification through the New York Feldenkrais Institute, where I worked extensively to support clients in their physical and cognitive growth.
Whether you’re seeking physical or cognitive rehabilitation, improved movement for daily life, or enhanced athletic performance, the Feldenkrais Method offers a path toward greater self-awareness and well-being.
What we’ll work on:
- Improving Mobility and Balance: Enhance flexibility, motor coordination, and prevent falls with targeted strategies.
- Boosting Confidence and Reducing Anxiety: Develop secure self-esteem and effective ways to manage stress.
- Pain and Physical Rehabilitation: Address arthritis, fibromyalgia, and recovery from injuries or surgeries.
- Neurological and Cognitive Support: Rehabilitation for stroke, cerebral palsy, dyslexia, and attentional challenges.
- Lifelong Well-Being: Support for aging, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and psycho-motor development in infants and children.
