Hi There! Are you ready to dive deep? Are you ready to make changes in your life? I offer a respectful safe space with a wealth of life and professional experience to draw upon. I value authenticity, transparency and pace the therapuetic process to suit your needs and goals. As one of my colleagues recently commented after observing me in a practice session: I offer "palpable unconditional positive regard." If you are ready to be seen, heard and make change, I am here for you.
I have a myriad of my own life experiences coupled with plenty of my own therapuetic explorations and almost 25 years as a professional Registered Social Worker. My primary influences are from narrative therapy, expressive arts, mindfulness and compassionate inquiry (Gabor Mate). I strive to create a safe space for you to self explore and heal.
One thing consistent about life is change. Sometimes we resist change, sometimes changes comes so strongly we have completely lost our bearings; when we become brave and truly engage life, we choose change and navigate the unchoosen changes like a masterful sailor. I have 'sailed' many seas and I can help you master your ship.

Consider this analogy for therapuetic process: you come with a terrain (river of sadness, hill of anger, town of anxiety), I come with tools (questions, insights, resources) and we navigate and co-create a map of you, where you know how your inner world functions, what works together and you will have gained many tools in the process.

Consider this analogy I use to explain therapy: In your mind you have a closet full of boxes, perhaps there has been an eathquake and they are scattered with contents everywhere. We look at these boxes and contents and figure out how to organize them, what to let go of, what to keep, how to rearrange them. Working with me is an act of co-creation to gain insight and create change made for you.
