About
I believe that the goal of counselling is the integration of spirit, heart, body, and mind. As a result of this alignment, we can have a better relationship with our Self.
As a counsellor, I am influenced by many therapeutic approaches and philosophies. However, I believe that it is the relationship between the counsellor and the client that is the most influential part of a counselling experience.
I will help you connect with your inner healing intelligence that will guide you to make choices and create change. Everyone has the necessary elements for healing within; we simply need to create the circumstances for it to occur. This process can be greatly assisted with a caring other. Most of our emotional wounding happens in relationship and it needs to be healed in relationship; it is relational.
My essential role is to work with you to provide support along your healing journey of Self discovery.
