I’m committed to creating a genuine therapeutic relationship with you built on respect, safety, and honesty. Everything we do is collaborative and tailored to what works best for you. I’m a creative and intuitive therapist who will challenge and support you in your learning and practical growth.
Fostering a blend of mind and body experience in therapy activates the human capacity for re-centring. How? By locating your in-built capacities for modifying thought patterns (mind), accepting thoughts and feelings without judgment (mindfulness), and releasing physical tension and trauma (somatic), leading to profound and lasting well-being.
I approach counseling from a holistic perspective (body, mind, feelings, spirit) that can free you from distress and chronic conditions that create suffering. I use cognitive, mindfulness and somatic-based methods to uncover patterns of being and relating that keep you stuck. By working with mind and body together, I offer a holistic therapeutic experience.
