About Tanory (She/They)
Are you looking for more ease, well-being, and positive transformation in your life? Do you wish you could get out of their head and feel more awake and alive to your present day experience? Do you want to feel more freedom, pleasure and joy in their lives and relationships? Let’s talk.
Do you have past traumas, and want to work with a therapist who uses techniques that do not retraumatize or require extensive talking about the trauma?
Are you caught in work, family, relational, or societal dynamics that you’d like to be free from?
Are you looking for a therapist who considers the multiple layers of your life - community, cultural and systemic factors affecting health and well-being?
My approach to therapy is a mix of the most solid evidence based practices in Western Psychology, as well as practices learned during ten years as a yoga/meditation teacher and body worker.
As a therapist, I come alongside you, with a non-judgmental and curious presence, to help YOU discern your OWN unique way of healing and growth into the person you already are.
We will work together to set goals that work for you, to create the life you want.
I’m LGBTQ+ and Polyamory Friendly. I value and work to embody an anti-racist and liberatory framework using harm reduction approaches. I use Somatic Experiencing and EMDR therapy in my work.
