As a therapist I aim to help you feel better prepared to address life transitions. To find calm and clarity with the unknown. I hope to help you slow down to navigate your inner landscape, in a safe, non-judgmental space. My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate and holistic. I am a trauma-informed, trained Somatic Psychotherapist and I offer a blend of Hakomi, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Focusing and Authentic Movement. The majority of therapy is done in a meditative space supporting somatic awareness.

Somatic Psychotherapy is an approach to depth psychology where we enter the subconscious and superconscious/elevated consciousness states through the body. In therapy sessions I will often guide you to become aware of the sensations, feelings, emotions and shifts happening in your body. Through a deepening into the felt sense of the body, old memories, images and important associations can be uncovered. This approach to psychotherapy believes that your body and being holds innate wisdom and a movement towards healing.

I am currently finalizing my MA in Somatic Psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies. I hold a PhD in Management and Organization, with a focus on mindfulness in the organizational setting. I am also a certified yoga and meditation teacher and have taught 1000+ private yoga and meditation classes in corporate settings, to K-12 teachers, retreat settings and to middle school, high school and college students. I lived two years at an Ashram, to fully immerse myself in a yogic lifestyle. 

I am originally from Finland and I’m happy to offer therapy in Swedish or Finnish. I continuously dedicate time to my own inner exploration and unfolding. I take 6 weeks off from my therapy practice each summer (July to mid-August) to allow for a complete reset.
