Welcome
" Calm The Chaos"
Welcome! Thank you for finding the courage and compassion to seek healing for yourself. I am passionate about the mind, body, and spirit approach to healing . I believe that diagnosis and conventional treatment can be useful and helpful pieces of a puzzle, but they simply don't provide the whole picture, because you are a whole person with a need to be treated with a holistic and integrative approach. I have had the privilege of training with Kristen Neff and Christopher Germer in Mindful Self-Compassion technique, as well as certification in Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapy, Neuro-linguistic programing (NLP) and Ecotherapy. These specialized studies have helped deepen my practice with those who are seeking to heal themselves from emotional pain, limiting beliefs and debilitating self-doubt and disconnection. This disconnection can lead to depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. I have had many excellent teachers along the way and have come to understand that the "one size fits all" approach in therapy and mental health can be both frustrating and unhelpful.
As a therapist my goal is to help you heal and uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complimentary therapy approaches and techniques, we can unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I invite you to come and sit by the fire with a cup of tea or coffee and share with me what it is that you are struggling with, as well as what you hope for in your own life. I look forward to meeting you.
* Please note that I see clients in office for in-person sessions, as well as forest sessions and virtual sessions.*
