My Approach to Helping

Whether it is trauma, loss, anxiety, relationship trouble, or anything else that you may be carrying, you are welcome.

Clients gain an ally when they work with me.

Therapy sessions are where we co-explore the hope you want for your life. The sessions can hold all that you bring in with you: Whether it is trauma, loss, anxiety or relationship trouble that you may be carrying or anything else, you are welcome.

When collaborating with me, we address what is causing you distress as I help you shape a life that is rooted in your values. We explore together what brings meaning to your life.

My approach is warm, judgement free, and inclusive. It also pays attention to the complicity of the power structure that you live in. I believe that one’s experiences cannot be separated from the environment and context that hold them.

I witness your stories and I help you resist the problems that dominate in your life and relationships. In doing so, we collaboratively weaken the effects of problems and make space for the neglected stories of your wonderfulness. Together, we consider all your lived experience and what shapes who you are and what you want your relationships to be.

In sessions with me, individuals, couples, and family members have a safe space to bring their vulnerability and curiosity about themselves and the world. They feel at ease, heard and cared for, and their dignity is restored.

My Role as a Therapist

I have a multi-cultural background and have lived and worked in places where human freedoms were restricted by systems of oppression. After more than 25 years working in Communications in the international humanitarian sector, I now partner with clients who are considering what life they want for themselves, or are facing up to problems and standing up to what makes them feel stuck.

I am familiar with what it feels like to be subjugated to powers that seem stronger than us and that keep us in fear. I believe in the dignity of living with hardship and in the power of resistance.

My goal is to help clients live a life that is meaningful to them and that lines up with their values. In my practice, I have seen how the resourcefulness of human beings can minimize the effects of problems and maximize the aspects of life that are useful to them. I truly believe in the power of people because I have seen it!
