Do you self-sabotage? Yeah, you know- you set goals, read self help books, eat well, exercise, feel great, and then something happens and some invisible 'force' sets you back into "self-destruct' mode. That invisible force is your subconscious mind and it contains negative and dis-empowering beliefs you downloaded as a child or somewhere in your journey of life. They are holding you back from achieving your goals.

My approach to counselling is fundamentally about building a genuine relationship characterized by support, care and encouragement. A space where it is safe to speak the truth about what has happened in your life. The kind of relationship that welcomes your whole self to be present, including the parts you don’t like. A place where you are received with compassion and acceptance, no matter how much anguish, confusion, rage, shame or despair you might be feeling. I know from my own experience that this kind of relationship creates the conditions for deep inner healing to occur and holds the potential for profound personal growth.

I draw on over 30 years of professional experience in working with adolescents, adults and families. By providing a safe non judgmental environment I can support you to explore the thoughts and belief patterns that create your reactions. When you recognize patterns of interactions and triggers, together we explore and cultivate an understanding of how those patterns started. You determine, if these patterns continue to serve you. I can help bring what is unconscious, conscious so you can choose how you respond in any given situation. You get to create a life that is more in line with your goals, values and ideals.

We all live complex lives and are having to face an ever-changing environment. This can be immensely stressful. We all experience challenges in our lives but we do not always have the clarity or skills to effectively navigate our way through them. We then either get stuck or continue to go through life living on auto-pilot. To create a meaningful life, we need to reconnect with ourselves, the things we value and fine tune our skills to attain our goals. Working through challenges in our past or those in the present in a supportive, therapeutic environment can help us build a fuller and more meaningful life.

When dealing with overwhelming frustration and uncertainty, it can feel like you're in a quicksand all by yourself. As your therapist, I can provide a safe, respectful space in which we'd work together to better understand your struggles, hopes and fears. Through this process, you will gain emotional clarity that can help you get unstuck and move towards the life you envision. When we can see a way, a will can become much easier to find.

My guiding principle is that the therapeutic process is deeply personal and unique and, therefore, must be tailored to the particular needs of each client to achieve their optimal health and wellness. With warmth, compassion and empathy, I help my clients to (re)discover their needs and strengths, and to pursue their desired well-being, with attention to issues related to the individual’s culture, trauma, gender, and circumstances. I work with persons from across the lifespan on issues as wide-ranging as anxiety, depression, stress management, abuse,adjustment matters, relationship challenges, addictions, and major life-transitions.

We all have experiences that deserve to be explored with compassion and nuance. Perhaps you feel stuck in a state of overwhelm, pain, or powerlessness. Maybe parts of you have been silenced, shamed, or oppressed for too long. Perhaps your relationships aren't embodying the interpersonal dynamics you want or need for yourself. I harness trauma-informed, collaborative approaches that shine a light on your strengths and honour our human need for interconnection and belonging. With the power of curiosity and supported vulnerability, we can work together towards your vision of healing, transformation, and renewal.

Hola a todes. Welcome! I believe that patterns of behaviours speak of each person’s history individually as well as collectively, since we are immersed in a vast array of cultural spaces that bestow upon us knowledge, traditions, thoughts of freedom but also trauma and limitations. I offer a holistic approach to healing, working through experiences of suffering and dis-ease with a Lacanian Psychoanalysis and Jungian Deep Psychology foundation. My practice is deeply rooted and further enhanced by the spiritual teachings of Mahayana Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta. These principles are integrated into every aspect of my life and work.

By discussing your concerns with you, I can help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and thought processes, as well as identifying ways of finding your own solutions to problems.
