Are you struggling in your relationship? Do you get frustrated at your partner, your mother, your co-workers or your boss? Have you thought that if you moved jobs, or countries, or changed your relationship that life would change; only to realize that you are having the same experience all over again? Sometimes we wish that people would just do what we want them to or be a certain way so that we can feel better. Often we think our relationships need to change when change must really begin within ourselves. If you are ready to look at who you are in your relationships, I'm here to help you discover who that is and why!
Sometimes our attempts to get closer often push the people we care about away. Often our perception is skewed by our past experiences, which interfere with what can be an opportunity for connection and personal growth. Often our family history can impact our lives without us knowing how. Counselling helps uncover the unconscious baggage we carry.
In a very casual and relaxed atmosphere, I help individuals and couples explore life from a new and different perspective. I provide kind and compassionate support where you will feel accepted and understood. I will help you feel empowered with the tools to take charge of your life and begin to experience more fulfilling and authentic relationships.
