Life is hardly ever easy. But suffering can be lessened, especially with the help of another human being, trained to help you navigate life's challenges and uncover your inner strengths. If you are seeking better self-understanding, leading to new ways of responding to the world so you can have better relationships, greater life’s satisfaction, a calmer mind, and greater resilience, then my approach to therapy could be right for you. I will work with you to help you untie your inner knots, reduce inner tension and confusion, and increase your capacity to cope with whatever life throws at you.
My counselling approach is informed by neuroscience. In particular, we will look at what causes most distress for you and how your nervous system reacts to perceived danger, leading to persistent anger, fear, & anxiety. We'll work to bring awareness to the causes of those reactions and help you learn techniques for better self-regulation and self-compassion.
Throughout my training, including in the mindfulness and somatic practices, I developed a deep sense of empathy toward the suffering we all encounter in life. I offer a space of warmth and understanding, where you can feel heard, validated, and equipped to change your life for the better. Don't suffer in silence or alone. Begin your healing journey today.
