Who I see
I see individuals or couples over 19 years old, who are struggling with issues that are creating distress, who want to do an inner exploration, or who are wanting to recover from addiction or past trauma. I see people who, for a variety of reasons, are struggling and ready for change.
Therapies I use
I specialize in trauma resolution, addiction and recovery, and depth healing. I use a combination of therapies gained from my experience to support the work you want to do. You can expect elements of art and expressive therapies, clinical hypnotherapy, trauma and addictions therapies and good, old-fashioned unconditional acceptance. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor, an Accredited Clinical Supervisor and a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist.
What to expect
First sessions are 90 minutes, giving ample time to really pay attention to the work you want to focus on. I prefer 90 minute sessions, and I am willing to adjust session length based on your preference. You will receive the information you need and information about completing an Enneagram assessment prior to your first session.
Expect support. Expect to laugh. Expect warmth. Expect safety. Expect change.
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows who violently sweep your house, empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honourably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent, as a guide from beyond. -Rumi
