The early stages of a child's life are the most vital for socioemotional development and a child's inner world is often complex and full of intricacies. Social anxiety, depression, the after effects of separation and divorce, and phobias are just some of the challenges that children may face in their lives. As every child is unique, these challenges can show up in a multitude of ways. Acknowledging these obstacles is the first step towards overcoming them and allowing children to become better adjusted. Any child can live up to their full potential given they have the right support in their life.

I have primarily worked with the male population who appear to struggle with expressing their genuine emotions to their significant others. In a safe and secure therapeutic setting, my clients can find the comfort to express themselves authentically.

Additionally, we can address emotional management techniques, including anger management, during our sessions.

Sometimes we are mentally injured by events or accidents in our lives; they can cause shallow or deep wounds and trauma to our emotions. In some cases, we scratch our wounds unconsciously and worsen them instead of accepting and healing them compassionately. Uncompassionate focus on our injuries or pain can negatively impact our quality of life. They may bring stress, anxiety, depression, and other uncomfortable feelings. Counselling can soothe wounds and ease pain. I try to help you heal those wounds and improve your health. I will be there with you throughout this journey by listening to you and gaining insight together.

My clients may struggle with anxiety, sadness, emotional distress, relationship problems, drug abuse and uncertainty.

My client's goals may vary depending on their individual needs and preferences; some may seek to learn coping skills to manage their difficulties, while others may endeavour to improve their communication and relationship skills. While their issue is being addressed, I want them to feel heard, acknowledged, and encouraged.

You may even feel that your struggles aren’t significant enough for therapy. Drawing from my personal and professional experience, I specialize in helping you dismantle these barriers. Together, we'll explore every concern, validating your feelings and guiding you towards resilience and authentic self-discovery.

I help clients get to the root of their suffering by breaking the cycles of trauma and emotional repression. I offer an embodied approach to doing deep shadow work and supporting the awakening process. This often begins by learning how to get out of our heads and into our bodies. Insights naturally arise when we begin to get beneath our limiting beliefs and assumptions and come into contact with the energetics of our direct experience. Some common areas of exploration include healing relationships, intimacy, emotional reactivity, deconstructing the ego, intuition and authentic self expression.
