I am a client centered, compassionate, and passionate counsellor who values the integrity of the therapeutic relationship (alliance). Clients will benefit becauase of the therapeutic relationship along with their own desire and commitment to learn and make progress. Through the therapeutic relationship there is hope, opportunity, transparency and growth. Psychotherapy is successful due to the therapeutic relationship. This therapeutic alliance is proven to be 85% of the process leaving the other 15% for processing and healing.

Patterns of self-sabotaging behavioural, disorganized thinking and overwhelming emotion make life very difficult. How can we move forward when our bodies seem to betray us and we just need a break from the buzzing anxiety or the numbing of depression? What you may not know is all these symptoms are the imprint of our unfinished business, stuck in the body and just begging to be seen, cared for and accepted.

You are not alone and there is hope.
