Healing involves moving beyond distraction and avoidance, which perpetuates symptoms like eating disorders, depression, and anxiety. It involves welcoming your experiences, including the painful parts, without being overwhelmed by them. This is a skill that is developed through inner work practices such as quieting the mind, connecting to your center, listening to your intuition, letting go of control, and trusting in something greater than your mind. When you get off-track from these inherent abilities, you get signs....your symptoms are like red flags, encouraging you to come back to who you are on the deepest level.

I consider it a privilege to support clients facing issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, stress, career counselling, life transitions, substance use, low self-esteem, or trauma. To accomplish this, I encourage clients to ask...and answer...the WHY question. WHY am I feeling anxious? WHY can’t I make relationships work? WHY can’t I get out of this funk? WHY are my thoughts so scattered? WHY do I have trust issues? WHY I am unhappy? WHY do I allow others to treat me this way? WHY do I abuse drugs, food, or alcohol? WHY do I have trouble loving myself? WHY am I so afraid of being vulnerable?

Are you feeling unsatisfied with your connection to your partner? Are you frustrated because you know that you are stuck in a pattern of interaction, but don't know how to change it? Are you happy with your sexual relationship? Our intimate, partner relationships are often among the most important in our lives. When we feel emotionally and physically connected to our partners, we feel at peace and happy. But for a variety of reasons, our intimate relationships can become challenged, leading to feeling emotionally disconnected and adrift from our significant other(s), causing difficulties with communication and relationship satisfaction.

Do you struggle with finding clear direction and the way forward due to major changes in your life? Do you face anxiety, depression, or difficulty accepting and valuing who you really are? The therapy I practice is focused on helping adults to gain a true sense of themselves as individuals, to value and accept themselves, and to let this deeper sense of identity be the compass that guides us through our life journey. I'm empathic, experienced and an extremely good listener. My therapy approach combines deep insight with practical approaches for living out who you really are, without apology.

To develop clear insight of awareness towards our instinctual values, I believe it is critical to embrace, validate and acknowledge one’s individuality. Helping clients process the primary distinction between self-identity and where they want to be, is based on genuinely empathizing and understanding ways that we can best serve clients by applying therapeutic modalities that address their biological, physical and social constraints.

I guide people through powerful life transitions and support them through the process of self-discovery and rebirth. Self-awareness is essential to overcoming life's obstacles. But there's often a catch isn't there. The story you tell yourself, it seems to have an agenda of its own. (I'm not good enough, someone's always achieving more than me. Why do I have to do all the work?) So how do you move beyond your current thinking? What has actually happened to warrant your thinking? What's been the core pattern in your relationships till now, and what happens when you challenge that pattern? Pause.... and sit with these questions.
