The business of therapy is a personal matter. I help clients face themselves and feel supported through a self-discovery process that is built upon a relationship of trust and beneficence. The advantage of supporting clients this way is that they overcome their life challenges independently based on their own efforts and from a solid foundation. In a world of quick fixes and easy (ready-made) answers, an honest approach to the therapeutic process can be both liberating and life-transforming and allows one to embrace a greater appreciation for the complexity and uncertainty we are immersed in.

The deepest desire of a human is to belong…to be heard…and to be accepted… Sometimes life presents us with difficulties that are tough to manage or resolve on our own. There are times when we need to ask for help in order to find ourselves and to move forward. As a person and a counsellor, I know that life’s challenges can happen at all stages of our lives at multiple levels and that every situation is unique to us alone. Circumstances that can challenge how we think, how we perceive, how we believe and how we respond.
