I want to trust myself again and have SELF-BELIEF
I want to feel alive again. Like I matter. I want to feel JOY!
I want FREEDOM from old patterns of
fear, guilt and anger
I want to feel close, loved and understood. I want CONNECTION
I want to feel calm inside.
I want PEACE
I want this but...
But I'm Stuck With This.
Why do I keep overthinking it?
I feel IRRATIONAL!
I KNOW my patterns.
And I'm still stuck.
I'm always anxious.
I just can't cope.
I feel so alone and shut down.
I should be grateful. Is there something wrong with me?
My inner critic is crippling my confidence.
I don't know who I am anymore.
Life is so hard and there's no end in sight.
I've been having panic attacks. Stop them please.
YOU CAN HEAL AND BE FREE

​
Your PAIN, your HURT, your ANGER, your SADNESS ... all your FEELINGS often make sense when you understand what is happening BENEATH.
​
Therapy helps you get to the root of the pattern — not so you are stuck there, but so something inside can finally shift.
​
I help you understand what’s really going on underneath — so you can stop battling yourself and start feeling more like you again.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Change starts with SAFETY. The ability to form a relationship with your therapist. The ability to form a relationship with parts of yourself you no longer want to have or be. Underlying this is KIND COMPASSION.
​
WE go beyond simply pushing away or pushing down over-riding with...
-
positive affirmations,
-
stacking habits,
-
reframing
​
These have their place, but we want to open you up to REAL change... a lasting SHIFT in your inner world.
​
20 years ago, everything in therapy changed...
We now know, for change to happen, we need emotionally-activated change... not just cognitive change. That doesn't mean we stay hostage to overwhelming feelings of the past. But we touch them gently and supportively, and at your psyches own level and pace. We never go faster than is safe.
​
You don't do this alone. We to it together, and when we make change in relationship and witnessed with another, we can truly rewrite the emotional imprints you received before your Pre-Frontal Cortex had fully formed and you were able to balance out the limbic brain, to make sense of your world ... from a Wise, Emotionally Containing, and Heartful place within ... and update hidden beliefs at their core. Together we're building you a new LIFE ALGORITHM.
There are 3 core psychological processes that must be present, for you to truly heal. And additional relational processes, so you are gently guided in a way that is right for you. And you do not need to do this ALONE.
I am with you, every single step of the way, opening you up to the TRUTH and wonder of who you truly are, while stretching you to become ALL you can become.
​
It's a beautiful, messy, rewarding, and rebirthing healing process that leads back to
your TRUE, spirited self.
​
I've been there. And I would be
honoured towalk with you
through this healing journey.
