I am passionate about helping my clients develop a heathier self-relationship. Throughout our lives we can accumulate shame and fear, and dismiss emotions and experiences that are challenging to look at. This dismissal of the self can cause inner turmoil, emotional dysregulation, and may keep us feeling stuck in old patterns. I create a safe space for my clients to sit with and process their emotional experiences so that they may live more wholeheartedly, show up for themselves, and show up more fully in their relationships.

I am best able to help clients who are desirous of making changes in their lives and understand that "the slower you go, the faster you get there". My practice provides a safe space for patients to put all of their thoughts and feelings into words. As patients talk, they learn about themselves and better understand their journey. As the unconscious becomes conscious, patients are able to make more thoughtful and meaningful choices and thus begin to live more full and meaningful lives.

I work from the perspective that everyone has basic healthiness, a natural yearning for brilliant sanity and the wisdom of wholeness as part of their being. Conditioning and confusion can obscure these endowments but they are never absent. My job is to help draw out this wisdom for healing that is already there, by encouraging awareness. I begin with client-centered listening that honours where you are now, and the change you want. I then move into more experiential work to facilitate transformation. The contract for change and the pace of change is always in the client's hands

I am glad you found me here. How can I provide a relationship to you that may be used for your personal growth? Many therapists urge clients to change themselves when circumstances cannot change. Our therapeutic relationship will encourage you to focus on controlling your inner life when your outer lives and circumstances are out of control, due to trauma, mental health, intrusive thoughts, cognitive distortions, and flashbacks/nightmares, which can lead to depression, anxiety, avoidance/maladaptive coping strategies such as addiction. If this sounds like you, I want to work with you to heal past wounds and regain control.

I enjoy working with couples and individuals to address relationships issues, explore what is happening and to find a way forward. Often there are multiple issues going on at once and I can assist clients in prioritizing goals and identifying preferred ways of being in all areas of their lives. We can get caught up in "the problem story of self" and can't see all the other storylines we are living. I enjoy assisting clients in recognizing the other "stories of self" and finding ways to enhance these in their day to day lives. Most clients want to feel well, at peace, and experience love and joy.

I believe that people have a deep wisdom in their bodies, and an innate capacity for growth and healing. I believe that strengthening our capacity to be with the fullness of our experience can support us to live in greater presence, aliveness and in alignment with our values. And! This can be really difficult to do, especially when we've experienced relational trauma. I work with people who might feel that their strategies for coping are getting in the way of the connection they seek, or who might long for a greater sense of safety, dignity and belonging to themselves and the world around them.

When you become aware that your protective system is not letting you live the life you want to lead, therapy helps unburden the parts that keep you stuck. Through Internal Family Systems therapy you can get to know your inner system of protection, distraction and inner freedom. Protection may be anxiety, anger, depression and distraction may be numbing, dissociation, addiction and procrastination. You learn that some of your protection is based on what worked in childhood but is no longer serving you now. With couples I focus on learning to become relational through the work of Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy.
