About me

What if all of these symptoms and problems we experience are pointing to something more? Maybe there aren't any obvious symptoms that you can put your finger on.... maybe it's just a vague dissatisfaction with life, with how things are for you? Maybe there's a sense of feeling inhibited or restrained, or feeling not quite able to be yourself? Or maybe life has thrown you some curveballs, or there has been a big loss or shift in your life that brings you to therapy? I hold the view that these symptoms and issues though painful, may actually be healthy signs that may be pointing us towards change, towards our growth.
How do we really heal from trauma and our historical wounds? Unfortunately there isn't a magic pill... if there were we would probably all be addicted to it! What I believe works best is raising our awareness, seeing where we are not conscious, so that we can choose a different response from a place of our inner authority.
Know Thyself  is the biggest challenge we all face. It's hard being human in this world....to show up as we are, in all of our mess. We fear not being loved or accepted and so we stay small. It doesn't have to be that way. You have a purpose and something to express to the world if you dare? It's a journey of exploration, of awakening to who you are.
