My Approach to Helping

Too many roadblocks between you and your best life ever? Does it feel like things are going sideways? Or, maybe the daily grind feels more like herding cats...I know how it is. I've been there.As I see it, real change emerges within the safety of the therapeutic relationship. As folks begin to work through their difficulties, they start to realize what's right about them. Emotions, thoughts, and behavioural patterns start linking up. They feel empowered. Healing is happening from the inside out...and I am with them every step of the way!And, lest you think that therapy is always serious, I would like you to know about the healing power of shared laughter. Even dark times have moments of awe and joy!I help people with a wide range of issues related to trauma, relationship problems, anxiety, and depression. To learn more about my treatment approaches and chat with me about working together, don't hesitate to give me a call.

More Info About My Practice

Over the years, my approach has evolved to include a mind-body perspective aimed at promoting a stronger sense of self and improved connections with others. I've noticed that when the body's resources are more in tune with thoughts and feelings, overwhelm and negative thought patterns soften into experiences of calm and curiosity. New possibilities emerge.As Lily Tomlin once said, "I always wanted to be somebody. Now I see I should have been more specific." When we're comfortable with who we are, we can take risks and move beyond fear. Detours don't mean failure; they simply mean we need to regroup and try again.Let me be part of your solution. Give me a call today.
