I know you already have your own resources and skills to deal with your struggles. My skills and experiences are simply to help you find these resources within you. A person comes to me because they are stuck and lost in stressful worries or getting angry too quickly or frustrated and powerless in conflicts with other. Our work together is for you to find your natural instinct and insights to develop the clarity to move forward. The skills I use to help you are in grounded in Somatic Experiencing, an understanding of the dynamic of your nervous systems and Focusing, a therapy skill to open your clarity and the way to go forward.
With my own life experience, education, training and skills I have helped people with a wide variety of issues: Trauma, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Couple counselling, Grief and loss, Parenting, Blended families, Addiction, Coping, High conflict, Narcissist personalities, Work conflict and Family of origin issues
Somehow, 30 years later, I am still a therapist, and enjoying my work as much as ever. The people I have worked with are my greatest teacher. They have allowed me into their hearts, their pains, their joy and their wisdom. Each person has their own hope story and its goals. We work together fostering this hope story and its guidance to become a reality.

The skills I use helps a person to find a place of calm within, a genuine sense of being okay. From this I use a variety of skills such as Somatic Experiencing and Focusing to allow the felt body sensation to open and know our emotions and thought process. And within this openness insights and understanding emerge and the clarity to move forward.
