    Exploring who we are and what is happening within us doesn’t need to be a journey that is undertaken on our own.

    The way we speak about our experiences shapes the way we know ourselves and interact with others. Through dialogue, I help individuals harness the power of expression to forge healthy and vibrant connections both inwards and outwards. As new perspectives are spoken into being, we can bring about the changes that we have long hoped for.

    Early life experiences inform how we construct and move through our adult lives. But outdated models of relating or patterns of feeling can block growth and fulfillment. In therapy we work to strengthen the essential capacities you already possess, and support new ways of being and relating that better serve you.

    We are wired for connection and growth, striving to achieve the fullest expression of who we are. But there can be challenges along the way. Psychotherapy is a means of illuminating a path through difficulty, at time of pressing need and across the arc of one’s engagement with all of life.

    Therapy is an opportunity to determine what you want – what is most meaningful to you – then shift into living from that new understanding. An intentional, therapeutic dialogue attends to layers of mental and emotional discomfort, their origins, and their outdated purpose. Therapy is a means to unstick the stuck places; it is an instrument of profound change.

    Therapy is a process of supported inquiry. It is powerful work—it can help us shift from merely coping with life’s challenges to feeling more fully alive. My role is to assist you to create a style of living, or ways of connecting in your intimate relationships, marked by less struggle. A greater sense of vitality and authenticity, and better relating, can emerge from the process.

    Therapy is two people working to understand how our behaviour is shaped by the people around us. We adapt by using them as models to live our lives by. This adaptation affects how we perceive ourselves and how we relate to our friends, our peers, and our families.

    We sometimes doubt that others truly understand what we are feeling, so we struggle in silence. This takes a toll on our minds and our bodies and leaves us feeling anxious or depressed. I offer a place to have these thoughts and feelings held, respected, and cared for. A place for you to explore yourself with another.

Maybe you live with a pervasive feeling of emptiness or a panicky sense of dread. These can be signposts that something in your life needs exploration and healing. My goal is to help guide you to healing in a safe and supportive way so you live a more fulfilled and authentic life.

    As you consider the idea of therapy and begin your search for a therapist, I’m guessing you may feel pretty vulnerable. I get it, I’ve been there.

    Sometimes it is more difficult to ask a question than to answer it. In conversation with another, one practiced in the art of attuned listening, it becomes possible to discover not only what is worthy of questioning, but why answers have remained so stubbornly concealed from our own searching.

    Many clients entering therapy wonder, “How can only talking help me?” The increased sense of well-being we gain in therapy is more than just a worded experience. Current research in neurobiology validates the effectiveness of talk therapy, in which the therapeutic conversation creates “limbic resonance.” When you sit with a calm, knowledgeable, experienced psychotherapist you are neurologically regulating mind and mood.

    Traumatic experience occurring in early life, as well as ongoing instances of neglect, loss or unmet need, may significantly affect our sense of self. Negative events act as filters that constrain our development and perceptions. But things can get better. Psychotherapy can help to us to understand ourselves more fully, develop more satisfying relationships, and live the lives we long to lead.

    What brings us to therapy is our own way of wanting to be part of the world again, to move towards life. The German poet Rilke wrote: learn to love the questions. By asking questions, and by developing the capacity to be curious, our world begins to open up to us.

    Talking to friends or family is different from speaking with a therapist.
