My strengths lie in providing a mirror to assist in clarifying muddied waters — confusing thoughts stirred up by strong emotion.

Expect a collaborative process; some of the things I am skilled at: offering reframing of perspectives, assisting you in understand your own unique nervous system and coping styles, offering new ways of relating to existing challenges and the reality that is presenting itself in your life.

I tailor my approach to suit the individual. My approach is informed by different schools of thought. I am constantly evolving and upgrading my knowledge, as I am also an ever-changing being. I seek to practice and embody all that I ever teach or talk about. I am rooted in my commitment to my practice of being human and meeting reality as it is.

In general, therapy is an active process. Discomfort is a natural by-product of increased self-awareness. By gaining a deeper understanding into your thoughts, feelings and actions, this could offer you the opportunity to make informed choices in your life, and to take ownership of the unfolding of your unique journey in this lifetime. Of course, this process varies according to each individual.

No ‘result’ can be guaranteed; but often, greater self-acceptance, and a reduction in emotions that arise from decreased self-judgement (shame, guilt, fear, depression, anxiety) are often positive outcomes of this process.
