I believe there is a healing force, a motivation towards self-repair, that's operating in each of us, despite a history of trauma or suffering. So often when we are suffering, in pain, feeling confused, or stuck, we are convinced that something outside ourselves will provide relief. The truth is, the means to achieving what you want already lives inside you. I’m here to help you trust yourself again. Through mindful exploration of your inner landscape, we’ll help you break free from the constraints of the past, recover a stable sense of self, and help you create a life that feels bigger, and more aligned with your true self.

If you could hit the “pause button” on the voice of fear, shame, anger, or addiction, what would you hear instead? Is it a desire to be loved and accepted for who you really are? Is it hope for a more fulfilling life with joy, rest, purpose, or creativity? Is it faith to believe that you can finally stop beating yourself up, make peace with your past, and make different decisions going forward? You’d be amazed how many people like you and me, have bravely faced their biggest questions in therapy, and found meaningful answers. Let’s see if that can be your story too!

Stress is an inevitable part of life and aspect of the human condition which, in its unhealthy and extreme forms, can manifest as clinical anxiety, depression, and other problems in living (e.g., substance misuse). Perhaps you have experienced the attendant extremes in thought, behavior, and emotion that are brought about by struggles in modern living but you, like many, have hesitated to ask for help or, after trying various forms of therapy, have not made the progress you expected and you’re questioning whether therapy is right for you. This is where I come into play.
