Cira is a clinical psychologist with a foundation in depth psychology and psychoanalysis, though her work has evolved far beyond traditional psychotherapy. Many years ago, her personal journey led her deep into the Amazon, where she immersed herself in the wisdom of Nature and the teachings of indigenous shamans. These experiences opened her to deeper states of healing and being, profoundly influencing her therapeutic approach. Integrating these insights with her passion for spiritual approaches to psychotherapy, she now weaves together modalities that engage the deeper layers of the human experience.

With over 29 years of clinical experience, she has trained in Hakomi (mindful somatic psychotherapy) and EMDR. She is also certified in Mindfulness and Meditation through the guidance of Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. Her current studies in Holotropic Breathwork and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy with Grof Legacy Training® in Canada continue to enrich her understanding of the psyche and expand her approach to healing. These diverse teachings allow her to offer a multidimensional perspective on wellness and transformation.

Over time, Cira has found that blending psychodynamic analysis, somatic awareness, and spiritual practices has helped cultivate an intuitive, embodied approach to therapy. She views crisis not as an end, but as an invitation for transformation—an opportunity to step more fully into one’s authentic self.

“I believe we all possess innate wisdom and an extraordinary capacity for healing and self-realization. My role is to help clients reconnect with their inner resources and gifts. In a space of emotional safety, support, and trust, I guide them inward to meet their pain and trauma. Through this journey, clients can transmute their challenges and become active participants in their healing, emerging as alchemists of their own becoming.”

Grounded in the present moment, Cira’s work draws on the inherent resilience within each person. Whether addressing trauma, anxiety, or depression, her goal is to create a therapeutic environment where deep exploration is welcomed, fostering growth and self-discovery at every step.
