Hi, I'm Sasha. I'm a somatic psychotherapist, which means I work not only with your mind but also the body. Together we work on all three layers of your system: thoughts, emotions, and deeper somatic patterns of your nervous system, so that you can resolve your symptoms for good.
A lot of mental hardship - indecision, rumination, addiction, deep-seated patterns that just won't shift - originates in stuck emotions that couldn't be processed. We often push them away without noticing, as many of us learned to do at a very young age. By safely processing them through the body and allowing them to bring us insights, we open up more space within ourselves: to gain clarity, stop ruminating, release addictive patterns and rewire what talk therapy alone can't reach.
I know this from the inside. I have always been a deeply feeling, sensitive person who had to numb herself and shut down from the world - I just didn't know how to process my emotions! Finding my way through that is what brought me to this work, and it's now my mission to bring it to others.
Whether it's C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, addictions, eating disorders, burnout, attachment style issues or some other symptom - I've got you. Together, we go deep to address the root cause and - in a safe & gentle environment - bring the deep unconscious beliefs and patterns to the surface. As a result, you can adjust them, learn new ways of being, heal your nervous system and live a happy life again.
I work in an integrative approach, combining psychotherapy, somatic psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems and inner child work. Depending on what you need, I also bring in meditation, movement, and other tools.
Book a first free session to learn more about how I work and see if we can be a match! I'm looking forward to meeting you.
I work in a team of professionals, psychotherapists & psychiatrists, constantly participating in supervision & intervision groups. If the client-therapist fit is not perfect, I redirect to a more suitable colleague.
Location: online, anywhere. Based in Lisbon.
