Within challenge there is opportunity for growth and healing. Any crisis, while intensely difficult, can also put you in touch with your deeper yearnings and surface new strengths and resilience. Without support and guidance though, you can get stuck in painful places. Your life may feel lacking or out-of-control. You may feel overwhelming grief, depression, anxiety & panic. You may struggle to make meaning or be unsure which way to turn. When stress and suffering feel like too much to bear, please reach out for help. We will bring compassionate awareness to your challenges while nurturing your everyday wellbeing and wholeness.
As a contemplative psychotherapist & experienced trauma counsellor, trained in family systems, developmental, somatic & creative approaches, I integrate mindfulness & compassion practices with Western counselling modalities. I offer a safe therapeutic relationship within which we bring healing awareness to the roots of emotional & relational challenges.
My commitment to you is to be an ethical, compassionate & mindful helping professional who holds your process with sacred care. No matter the challenges you face, I see your best essence. You want to live a fulfilling life. You want to find meaning, connection & joy. You want to be happy. You can experience these things and more. It's possible.

Groups
Contemplative Writing Therapy
In this six-week group, we engage in mindfulness and compassion practices that calm the mind, open the senses and connect with the heart. These are paired with writing practices that help us to engage creatively with our lived experiences and call our poetic natures into being. Through this process, we experience our innate wakefulness while becoming familiar with the creative force that shapes our perceptions and expresses our truth. Over time, we increase self-knowledge, hone our ability to be choice-makers, and nurture our capacity to share from our hearts. Each session includes time for meditation, writing, sharing and discussion.
