If you are looking to work on any of the following in your life, we might be a good counselling match! ​-> Healthy communication and boundaries; Self-esteem; Confidence; Motivation; Understanding and fulfilling emotional needs; Healing from past wounds; Moving forward from a difficult breakup; Leaving an abusive relationship; Learning how to cope with difficult family dynamics -> If you are tired of repeating old patterns and want to take a new direction that is also in alignment with your values and desires, let's work together.
My goal is to help you develop a deeper understanding of the issues you are hoping to change or overcome and co-create new skills and tools for facing life’s challenges that work best for YOU. I provide a non-judgemental space for you to be heard, and to process together the challenges you may be facing.
I believe healing happens when we learn how to meaningfully re-integrate past wounds into the present without having to re-experience the past; in other words, no need to scratch old wounds, but let’s have a look at the scars from a safe distance and see what they are telling us. You’re in the driver’s seat and I am here to help you reach your destination.
