As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I am trained to use a wide variety of approaches and styles to address the broad spectrum of issues people seek help with. Therapy may involve exploring walled off emotions, self limiting beliefs and self defeating behaviours. It may also involve breaking down old defensive walls which prevent us from having a deeper connection to our core self and prevent us from having more genuine and meaningful connections with others

Let's face it. We all function quite well in our lives as partners, colleagues, friends, and community leaders. My mission is to help you do what you do already, but do it BETTER, and with joy because you and your family are living your best life. A lot of people function hour after hour, day after day using only their limbic brain (the stress centre). We focus on getting to work, paying bills, feeding our children, meeting deadlines, without engaging the upper cortical brain where we process life meaning and experience fulfilment. My commitment to my clients is : to help you rediscover your creativity to find more meaning in your jobs to live soulfully in your relationships. My promise is to help you care. It starts with caring for YOU.
