This can include taking on the expectations of our family and society, losing someone we love, difficult childhood experiences or a bullying or abusive or relationship. We are left with emotions we don’t know how to process such as sadness, anger, unhappiness, guilt and shame and behave in a manner that is our of alignment with our truth.

What is my approach?
I am trained in a variety of humanistic approaches that rest on the belief that growth and healing are possible, given the appropriate conditions. In response to a therapeutic relationship that offers genuineness, empathy and unconditional love, a kind of alchemy takes place and transformation occurs. You emerge from the chrysalis of your conditioned self into the person you were born to be. You find freedom! I have 30+ years of experience studying the spiritual tradition of mysticism, supported by yoga and meditation. I lived in Thailand for 2.5 years where I trained as a Reiki Teacher and deepened my experience of yoga, meditation and breath work. Where appropriate to your wish and need, I integrate these practices in our work together, also incorporating creativity and the uniquely gentle approach to supporting emotional resilience, relaxation and stress reduction Breath Perception®. I am a skilled, intuitive therapist who takes seriously the responsibility of working on myself daily, as a foundation for working with you.Make an appointment
