Life has a way of challenging us in ways that can stop even the strongest of us in our tracks. Increased stress, sudden life changes, anxiety, unresolved trauma.... many things can trigger disruptive behaviours and emotions that throw us off-base, damage our health and relationships, or simply hold us back. If your mental or emotional well-being, your relationships with others or with yourself, or your ability to deal with problems is out of balance – whatever the issue or stumbling block, a safe therapeutic relationship can help you return to, or develop a greater sense of ease and well-being.
We all have an innate ability to return to equanimity, but sometimes it's just hard to get there on our own. Increased self-awareness often through reflections on historic, environmental or traumatic influences, can enhance our internal and interpersonal relationships, especially the most important one we have....with ourselves.
Challenging times often call for new ways of viewing our selves and our relationships. In respectful, non-judgmental & therapeutic collaboration, we can work together to get you to where you and/or your family would like to be. And often, a good start can come from an introductory phone call. Please do not hesitate to reach out.

Self understanding, clarity about underlying and historical issues, building strategies and supports and determining end goals - this is the path we will build together. Greater peace of mind and a toolkit for maintaining such peace is what you will leave with.

My basket of therapeutic skills is varied and fluid, so it will always be your goals for therapy that will guide our work together. The actual path we take will depend largely on those goals, your current situation, the challenges you face, and the strengths that sustain you.
