SOMATIC

PSYCHOTHERAPY

 you can know it for yourself

WELCOME

You don’t have to suffer. Your truest self is naturally aware, wise, loving and compassionate. All you need to do is unlock this potential. You can trust that I will help guide and lead you back to your innate, authentic, truest self. Even if it feels far away, please let me hold this truth on your behalf until you can come to deeply know it for yourself. 

As a seasoned psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience, I've walked the path of pain and insight. My journey has given me an unshakable knowing that healing is possible. I'm part of a lineage of healers who have integrated their suffering into their experiences, living more freely. 

I believe this freedom is possible for each of us.

ABOUT ME

Embodied health is at the center of my life. Helping others heal from past wounds and find their truest self is not something that I do, but rather a truth that I live. 

On my path of helping others find their truth, I have worked with a wide range of clients: from young children to hospice patients; from folks struggling with alcohol and drug addiction to long term meditators; and from the walking-well to those dealing with significant mental illness. These experiences have included work in outpatient settings, residential services, and acute psychiatric stays. 

My experience includes over 20 years of contemplative practice in a range approaches, most intensively in the western Vipassana and Tibetan Buddhist lineages. This experience helps me imbue my psychotherapeutic work with a hands-on understanding of how the heart and mind function. 

My therapeutic method includes

  • Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)

    AEDP is a client-centered approach that empowers you to explore and address the root causes of your suffering. Through real-time examination of your body's experiences and the barriers that hinder growth, we'll work together to uproot the obstacles standing in your way. This approach allows for deep, lasting transformation.

  • Somatic-based

    My body-oriented approach focuses on sensations as the compass to our deeper knowing. By attuning to the wisdom of your body, we can access and process unresolved trauma, allowing for the release of stuck energy and the restoration of balance. My body-based approach provides a gentle, effective path to healing and growth.

  • Systems-based

    My therapeutic approach helps externalize our experience using "parts work." By recognizing and honoring the different aspects of your personality, we can better understand your inner conflicts and work towards integration. This approach fosters self-compassion and promotes the healing of wounded parts, and the thriving of your best self.

MY PROCESS

Whether you are immersed in a deep spiritual practice or are just beginning your journey of finding deeper meaning, I can help  support you to find a more fulfilling existence.

Having engaged in rigorous, long-term  contemplative practices and having deeply investigated suffering first-hand, I approach our sessions with an understanding and acceptance of all human expressions. Together, we will navigate your journey towards personal freedom and uncover the innate wisdom that resides within you.

I believe that you are your own greatest authority. No one knows you better than you do.

My role is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore and deepen your understanding of yourself. I am not here to dictate what you should do, but rather to help you cultivate lasting trust in your own abilities.

If you're yearning for a nurturing presence that can help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, I'm here to support you on that journey.

  • "Eva has been my therapist for nearly a decade due to her dedication, talents, world-class guidance, and unmatched compassion. Where other therapists have been cold, condescending, too sterile/analytical, Eva is warm, approachable, non-judgemental, and feels relatable while maintaining a professional, safe space. Eva’s approach evolves with you, she takes your feedback and wishes into consideration with respect for your path. Like a personal trainer for the spirit, she shows you the way and encourages you to do the work. I cannot thank or recommend her enough and if you’re here reading, I wish you well on your healing journey."

  • "Eva is an exceptional therapist. Her ability to pick up nuance, energy, and subtleties in facial and embodied expression—even in virtual sessions—is phenomenal. This talent is deeply integrated with her depth of compassion. She is able to gently, yet directly hold up a mirror to help me see deep-seated patterns that no longer serve me. She walks alongside me, even when I want to run away. Her ability to bring in ancestral healing and somatic practices is also stellar. Eva is a truly gifted healer. "

  • "Another important quality of her presence as a therapist goes beyond training or experience - it feels intrinsic, wise, and deeply personal. She has an exceptional gift for sensing and gently guiding us closer to the heart of what’s really going on to foster a meaningful conversation. This process always feels genuine and curious, not prescribed. I feel empowered to write the story; she is right there for whatever comes up. I wanted a therapist who would help me heal both old wounds and recent trauma, guide me through uncomfortable territory to seek the truth, and be very gentle with me in the process. Eva has met and exceeded those expectations for me—she has set a new standard."
