Hi, I'm Gavrila. I offer a therapy space intended for focused transformation. You are more than your words and your stories. The body holds what language can't always reach: the tension in relationship, the overwhelm of growing up, the weight of what's been carried too long. When we turn toward it, an unwinding happens, moving us from suffering into healing. Whether alone or with a partner, finding the way home to the body is both a courageous and empowering act. By collaborating with your whole self and those you love, a deeper sense of clarity, connection, and intimacy will be born. Let's deepen together.
My specialty is somatic (body-based) psychotherapy rooted in mindfulness, relational healing, and process. For both individuals and couples, we'll cultivate awareness, safety, and the capacity to bring lived experience alive in the present moment. For couples, we'll also tend to the space between - the patterns and longings asking to be understood.
It is not your fault when it hurts. It does not mean you are doing something wrong. You innately belong to a robust ecosystem that is here to support you. Finding support in your journey is brave. Believing there is support takes courage. I am here to remind you. May you find the support you are looking for. My door is open.

I work with couples and individuals navigating disconnection, conflict, and the longing for deeper intimacy. Together, we explore what is arising, not to fix or suppress it, but to understand, digest, and integrate it. Most of my clients experience a deeper relationship with themselves, their bodies, and a greater intimacy with the world and those they love.

The body is the keeper of our stories. It speaks to us, and if we are willing to listen, guides us toward healing, individually and within our most intimate relationships. My primary approaches are Relational Somatic Healing, Experiential Therapy, and Mindfulness, and somatic touch is available. For those ready to go deeper, ketamine-assisted therapy may offer a powerful pathway.
