ABOUT ME
You may have come to a point where your mental or emotional blocks are preventing you from moving forward, getting ahead in life or just generally being happy. Perhaps you have experienced trauma in your childhood, and it’s showing up in your current relationships or creating problems that you are ready to have cleared up. I believe that all behaviour does serve a purpose, and that purpose is usually to meet an unmet need.
That is where I come in. Combining both body and mind approaches, fueled by my passion for the latest brain-based and psychotherapy methods, you will have a fuller, more holistic healing experience in therapy. We will get to the root of your challenges, and tailor your therapeutic experience to suit your specific situation and unique needs. In therapy sessions, you will find a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment to explore and remove life barriers, for your ultimate healing.
Through therapy with me, you will develop a deeper understanding of how the protective mechanisms such as anxiety, self-harm and addiction have played a role in your life. You will learn how to move past these using brain-based, experiential techniques that I will guide you with, and take home practical tools and techniques you will use rest of your life.
