GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I work with women navigating the impacts of patriarchal oppression, gendered trauma, and societal pressures that can affect self-worth, relationships, and emotional well-being. Using a trauma-informed, compassionate approach, I support clients in reclaiming their power, building healthy boundaries, and reconnecting with their inner strength, resilience, and authentic voice. Together, we explore patterns shaped by culture, history, and personal experience, creating space for empowerment, healing, and self-discovery.
