Stories have always intrigued me because they helped me to understand how other people think and see the world. I see the power of personal narratives to limit or expand what my clients think is possible. The focus of my practice is periods of transition. Transitions occur at all stages of life. They can include a new diagnosis, the loss of employment, the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a new sexual or gender identity, recovery after illness, or a faith crisis. They can also include healing from violence, abuse and trauma.

HELLO and WELCOME: Let's spend some time focusing on your needs. I will balance listening to your experiences, thoughts, and emotions with the introduction of exercises and techniques (often somatic or compassion-based) that will shift self-critical thoughts to self-compassion, build confidence, reduce stress and anxiety, bring ease to your mind, and soothe your autonomic nervous system. As an experienced therapist, I will empower, support, and guide you as you create positive and lasting change in your life. Clients report feeling understood and hopeful after the first session.

Life is full of challenges, and some are more manageable than others. You may be feeling overwhelmed by an issue that you can identify but have no idea how to tackle. Alternatively, you may be discontented or anxious with no idea why; you just know something isn't right. You may even be wondering if it's "all in your head." No matter how you feel or what you're struggling with, it is possible to get yourself back on track and begin to enjoy life again. The power to change is within you.

Do you ever wonder why you struggle to feel happy? Or notice feelings of resentment? Do you feel overwhelmed with roles, responsibilities, and a to-do list? And underwhelmed with life? You want to feel grateful for what you have. You want to make yourself a priority, but somehow, what you want doesn't seem to matter. You are not alone. Managing self-care, the dynamics of relationships, parenting, and a professional life can easily feel out of balance. Add medical stress, a child with special needs, co-parenting challenges, and/or workplace stress. Perhaps you notice anxiety, fear, or repetitive patterns that you long to change.

My third culture kid (TCK) upbringing nurtured in me an interest in cross-cultural dialogue and interfaith work, and I eventually became passionate about peacebuilding. I facilitated cross-cultural dialogue among university students from different countries and worked with unaccompanied refugee youth from various African countries. This has equipped me with the ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds. Inner peace is essential for peaceful relationships with others, and I learned this after witnessing the trauma of the revolution and its aftermath.

If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.
