Are you overwhelmed by changes or loss in your life? Are you having difficulties in your closest relationships? Are you experiencing deep sadness and loneliness? Are you feeling isolated, confused, or hopeless? You are not alone. I am here to listen and help. Through our work together, you can: enhance your ability to handle stress and uncertainty; identify underlying causes of distress and understand what’s keeping you from being happy; improve your relationships, your life, your career; transform your self-doubt into confidence, courage, and self-worth; and heal the past, acknowledge the present, and look forward to the future.

Sometimes despite our best efforts, we can't make sense of what's happening to us. We can't understand our own actions and behaviours, our feelings are too painful to bear alone, and we're trapped in repetitive, unconscious patterns of relating that harm us and others. Establishing a relationship with me can change all of that. Listening with compassion and without judgment, I can help you to make sense of your experience. And making sense of your past and present will lead to a joyful and lasting transformation of your sense of self, your relationships, and all facets of your life.
