Sometimes we face situations in life where we can feel overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed. We tend to worry about the issues we face and experience stress as we feel stuck and confused not knowing what to do next. Often the trauma we faced yesterday continues to have a negative impact on us today and we feel hopeless and powerless. We can think so low of ourselves at times as we beat ourselves up with defeated self-talk and we struggle to really know who we are and be content within ourselves.

I empower people to make productive changes in their life. I work within the unique physical, mental, and emotional contexts of an individual, but pay particular attention to working through mental and emotional blocks that keep people from living a life full of health, vitality, and happiness. The core of what I do is reconnecting clients with their body so that they learn how to listen to their body and the wisdom it has to offer. We may not always like what we find there, but getting into our body transforms the way we relate to our mind, body, and the world.

I believe that addiction is a primary disease and that a person's other issues will stem from this fundamental problem. Therefore it's important to treat the addiction first. People with addiction often use alcohol and other drugs or behaviours to 'cope'. In the beginning the substance or the behaviour (such as sex addiction) was the 'solution', but after a while it became the problem. My approach is to offer therapy that is focused on a new, results-focused solution. The goal is offering my clients 'tools' so that they can change behaviour that is causing problems in their lives.

In fact it is often through our struggles that we have the most opportunity to grow and deepen our capacity for empathy, love and understanding.
