Your invitation to be held.
Hi, I am Liza.
I am a therapist with 7+ years of experience in psychotherapy, somatic work and embodied practices.
I create healing therapy spaces in which you’ll find safety, resilience and connection; things you already know and perhaps just need someone to help you remember.
Together we will create a gentle container for your truth and authenticity. We will give space to your own wisdom, experience and inner guidance.
In our sessions I will continuously encourage you to connect with your body, to be with what is and to listen. We will practice deep presence. A part of my role is to also help you see any believes that unconsciously run your life and turn them into more empowering ones.
It will be a process - a beautiful process of coming home to your wholeness.
I invite you to book a free discovery call to explore whether the kind of spaces I offer is what you need in this moment.
About my sessions
My therapy work is about healing trauma through compassion and embodied presence. I support individuals in various places on their life journey - always with deep love, safety and trust in one’s inner process.
My sessions are warm, loving, deeply rooted in the body wisdom and supportive for navigating trauma and triggers, addiction, anxiety, fear, depression, emotional pain, relationship and family challenges or simply difficult moments in life. I also offer plant medicine integration.
The sessions I offer are based on the Compassionate Inquiry approach, developed by Dr. Gabor Maté, with a blend of other tools and ways to inquire into the body and the Self, such as Somatic Experiencing, some aspects of IFS (Internal Family System), Trauma and Emotional Release, Embodied Resilience + the intuition and knowledge I gathered on my own journey.
“Liza holds very beautiful safe sessions - I felt held and could simply give space to what I was experiencing in the moment. It was healing and nourishing, and allowed me to uncover some things from the past that I was not aware of that hold me back from fully being myself.”
— Jonathan F.
“I have never been held with so much love. I am so incredibly grateful.”
— Steve C.
“Each session has unpacked and released a lot of intense emotions which were stored in my body, which I did not even know were there, keeping me captive in reoccurring self sabotaging patterns and overall misery. Liza’s gentle and caring approach and capable guidance has been incredibly reassuring and deeply healing for my inner child and my nervous system overall. I now have a new life, free from fears and limiting beliefs and a new general sense of true belonging and serenity. I cannot recommend her enough!

A letter to you.
We are all born pure and true. We may already carry past traumas from our ancestors, yet our newborn eyes look at the world with pure curiosity, our hearts believe in joy, and our minds know no judgement.
We expect the world to be a happy place that celebrates and supports us. We expect to be treated as someone special. We expect to be seen and accepted exactly as we are.
As we walk our Earth journey, we start learning things about ourselves and others. Some of them are true, and some are simply ways to adapt and to survive in the world that we quickly learn is not always as safe and open as we believed it to be. Sometimes physically, sometimes emotionally - it starts to feel like not all expressions of ourselves are welcomed. We often have to compromise our authenticity to maintain some sense of attachment to the adults we depend on. We hide and push down some of who we are because there is simply no space for it all, and instead develop ways of being that get us through.
We keep adapting and adjusting, building layers of ‘knowing” until one day it starts to feel like we’ve gotten too far. Too far from our truth, too far from our heart, too far from our essence, which on some level we still know so well, but at times struggle to connect with.
One day we may begin to meet people, come across places and practices that for a moment.. take us home. We may suddenly find ourselves experiencing the space of deep rest and inner knowing, a certain sense of remembering - until life goes on and we get disconnected from it again.
How does this resonate with you?
This has certainly been my story.
It took me time to acknowledge the struggle and disconnect from my inner light that I was experiencing, and to build a support system that can slowly but consistently help me heal my wounds and walk me home.
What a relief it has been to sometimes drop myself into the presence of another human, who can help me ground, find my safety, allow space for my story and for my truth. Someone who can hold my hand as I collect my own fragmented pieces, and support my journey of slowly bringing them back into wholeness. Someone who can remind me that in myself I am safe.
What a blessing it has been to experience this support from others, to be reminded of my own light and strength when I struggle to connect with them myself.
If this speaks for you - I invite you to allow your precious self to be held, too. To get the support you deserve. In the modern world it can be really hard to navigate life alone. And there is no need to - there is a reason we have each other.
With love for who you are,
Liza 🤍
