To me, therapy is the act of helping people learn to experience their emotions safely in the moment, to be truly present and their genuine selves as they go about their day. I work with people to bring awareness to the impact of the past, to make conscious the connections and patterns that inform our everyday experience so that they can decide whether they want to continue with them or if they want to try something new. Therapy is the practice of getting to know yourself and working out what’s b...

All people have the potential to learn and grow towards their goals but change and growth rarely occur in a straight line. Being mean to yourself does not help, you have a story and it makes sense that you feel, believe, act and react as you do.
