Do you find your life too vacuous? Are you hoping to find deeper meaning and more connection with your deepest Self and have more meaningful relationships? Have you thought that there is something wrong with you? In our disconnected dopamine-seeking society, we have lost touch with our basic goodness and our deep yearnings for closeness. We think that we need to put up a brave face, or we give up before even trying. We don't trust our intuition, having lost touch with following our gut. We look for distractions to dull our often unacknowledged pain, our uncertainty what life is about. Our existential angst has become medicalized.
As an experienced therapist and truth-seeker, I help those looking for a therapeutic relationship to understand themselves more deeply. I am an IFS Therapist and a Relational Life Couples Therapist. Whether you feel small, anxious, depressed or have issues with addictions, disconnected or full of resentment, I can help reconnect you to self-worth and wisdom.
Whether you are an individual or couple looking for a deeper connection with yourself and others, I offer a free consult to check if we are a good fit. I am a person who is seeking a joy-filled and meaningful life, led by wisdom and compassion. My understanding of my clients stems from my lived experience and knowledge about the human predicament.

In therapy we explore how your symptoms, be they anxiety, depression, addictions etc. tries to protect you. We look at the underlying causes of this protection, which is fear usually originating in childhood. It helps to know that no parts of us are bad, no matter how detrimental the behaviour or thought pattern is. We can get there by being curious, so that judgments don't have any more power.

Maya is a warm, inuitiive, and engaging therapist. As both supervisor and mentor, she inspired me to become an IFS Trained Counsellor. We recently co-facilitated a Fall Connection group together and I truly appreciated her ease in that collaboration.

I personally find Internal Family Systems Therapy the most impactful and transformative, as it goes beyond thinking and judging, deeply into embodiment, curiosity and compassion. I also offer Integration therapy for psychedelic medicine sessions. For couples, I do Relational Life Therapy based on Terry Real, which helps us move past maladaptive behaviour to a deeper understanding of our stances.
