What you get when you choose to start some therapy or counselling with me:
- I will treat you as an expert in your own life.
- I will not tell you what to do, but I will help you get to the place you want to go.
- I will go at your pace.
- I will use my clinical expertise, but will not minimize your experience with
diagnostic jargon. - I will encourage you to involve your significant others, including your family.
- I will notice your strengths and help you explore the things that get in the way of you achieving some inner peace and sense of self.
- Therapy can feel really empowering at times and can also be challenging, but I will help you cope.
I believe that we all have a wise and compassionate self deep within us.
I can use a range of therapeutic techniques, as well as my warmth, sense of humor and authenticity, in order to help you get in touch with the more conscious, calm, and compassionate part of you.

Compassionate Support
My view is that most people who come to therapy have had enough of feeling the way they are feeling “now” and want some change.
Therapy can help improve your relationships with others and your
sense of self in order to reach your full potential.
