Therapy that supports you.
Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

About
Overview
I see myself as a wayshower: someone who has experience and knowledge of "a way". In this case we are talking about psychological and emotional healing, and personal growth. When this happens there is relief from intrusive thoughts, addictions, feelings of anxiety, confusion, depression, shame, not wanting to be on this earth, and the many other states of being that rob us of peace and happiness in our life. It is possible to overcome these challenges.
Once we become open to knowing ourselves then we can begin to change. It would be my honour to help.
I also provide consultation and support to those who feel ready to embark on a spiritual journey, including those who unintentionally find themselves there. It's helpful to have a place to share experiences and ask questions. I don't follow any particular religious doctrine or ideology, I simply offer companionship and guidance because this journey has no blueprint and can often be lonely.
New is the offering to support those interested in taking their own psychedelic journey. I offer support in preparing before and integrating the experience with psychedelic psychotherapy afterward. If you have taken a trip and are experiencing difficulty processing what you experienced psychedelic psychotherapy and consultation can help.

Therapeutic Approach
My approach to therapy is integrative. I take the time to get to know you and your goals and then decide on an approach. As your needs change so then will my approach. That being said, my practice is informed by the theory and approach of Internal Family Systems (IFS) - (see my blog post for more info on IFS Therapy).
The elegance and beauty of an integrative approach is that as you move through various stages of healing the therapeutic approach will organically evolve in step. I follow no set formula and have no timelines for you to meet. I will simply keep pace with you and allow my inner wisdom and training to guide us.
