I'm highly inspired to work with clients that are willing to find ways to overcome their challenges. Whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, grief or other 'stuck' places, I believe there is a way to come to a healthier mental-emotional equilibrium. Thoughts, emotions and behaviors can all serve as a key to enter deeper into oneself. I am here to help find the way inside where one can see how to change.

Sometimes you can be so overwhelmed with stress that you have trouble prioritising your own needs. You don't know where to start to make things better. You might know that you are safe now – and that the past is over – but parts of you just don’t seem to believe it. Maybe it feels as if you've been stranded in patterns of response that only complicate things, rather than help them. But all your efforts to change don't go anywhere. You may know that you have experienced early life and chronic trauma, but knowing this hasn't yet helped to soothe all the distressing patterns, thoughts, feelings and impulses that come from that trauma.

Compassion for the human condition and the premise that we are not passive victims of our circumstances but have freedom to choose how we want to be, are the main foundations I work with. I believe that we all possess the natural self-healing capacity that is seated in the deep center of our being, and I see psychotherapy as the work of finding, unlocking and opening doors through which healing can flow, and seeds towards transformation can be nurtured. I also approach all the suffering and pain that clients present, as an opportunity to use the crisis for personal growth and as a pathway to a deeper connection with the true self.
