About
“Life is suffering”, the Buddha famously said, and now, more than ever, this seems to be true. But it doesn’t have to be this way, at least not all of the time. While I may never know the full extent of your situation, I can be sure of two things – you have suffered and a part of you believes it is possible for things to be better. I am here to assist you on your journey to better, however that may look for you.
My fundamental assumption is that you know more about yourself than anyone could observe. This means that you are already an expert on your own experience. However, being so close to it may be disorienting. As a counsellor, I will guide you through the process of untangling your thoughts and emotions, making sense of your situation and finding your answers.
I practice from an Existential perspective which means I believe in your innate potential to heal. That being said, speaking from my personal experience of overcoming an eating disorder, I realize the road ahead may be bumpy. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey until you no longer need me. It may not always be easy but it is always worth it!
