PSYCHOTHERAPIST

Tift® ( Trauma Integrating Flow Therapy® )

 

MOVEMENT TEACHER

NIA® (Neuromuscular Integrative Action®)  

 

My interest in psychology began back in school.

Therefore, after graduating from the Technical University, I received a degree in psychology and started my private practice in 2002.

 

Professional development

  • I have studied and worked in various methods, including Rebalancing, Hellinger Constellations, Mindell Process Work, Lowen's Bioenergetic Analysis, Neo-Reichian Pulsations and others.

  • In 2013, I was  introduced to the Lifespan Integration® method and I learned the LI method with its creator, Peggy Pace. I was  Lifespan Integration®  teacher for professionals from 2014-2021.

Tift® - Trauma Integrating Flow Therapy®

  • In 2019, I met Dr. Anandi Janner Steffann and began studying her approach, which in 2021 became Tift®, which answered my questions about complex trauma the most profoundly.

  • I completed my advanced Tift® training in 2024.

  • I work in Tift® with clients all over the world.

 

NIA® Movement System

  • I have always had a passion for dance and movement. In 2020 I discovered the NIA® Movement System.

  • Now, as a NIA® Teacher , I lead morning classes that allow participants to tap into their own self-healing capacity and feel good  physically and mentally.

 

 

 

My view on therapy

My view of therapy was shaped by 30 years of personal searching until I found answers in the Tift method. I was had intuitiv understanding that the solution was not in reliving the past, but in addressing current issues and taking practical steps toward the future.

Tift allows in present time to progressively replenish the safety and interaction experiences needed to grow into adulthood, with minimal exposure to trauma.


The center of therapy is the person in the present, not his history. The obstacles that hinder now were once necessary and only possible reactions to circumstances in childhood, protecting and helping to grow and developin  even in difficult conditions.

The organism maintains these strategies until safety is reached, where protection is no longer needed. This is when growth and development begin and leads toward thriving. This transition is the essence of the therapeutic process.
