About

I wake people up to their true selves.

I am devoted to healing and awakening the human spirit. My own degree of healing and awakening has come through deep relationships to myself, others and Spirit.

I believe that therapy offers a unique opportunity for gaining a deeper understanding of your current situation or difficulties by reflecting on who you are, your relationships, your life history and experiences. I approach therapy from a holistic perspective that encompasses the intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of your well-being, and work wholly in the present and deal with the past as needed in order to facilitate insight and growth.

My belief is that we have everything we need inside ourselves. I have seen incredible fathering come from a childhood of horrible fathering, beautiful compassion come from a childhood of no compassion. How is it we can have such abilities when we didn’t receive them ourselves? I believe all the gifts of being human remain untainted somewhere in our depths. I am committed to helping you uncover your gifts, to find the spark within you and bring it to life again.

My interventions are always collaborative and client-specific and I help you find what works best for you. I’m creative and intuitive, warm and empathic while also being direct and honest. My 19 years as a counsellor, combined with my training, personal experience and business background, give me the ability to help you release, heal, and create the life you want and deserve.

I have had face-to-face practices in Seattle, USA and Vancouver, Canada, and in the past few years technology has opened the door to a growing online practice using Skype. I now work out of Elsternwick in Melbourne, Australia and continue to have an international online client base. You can view my Services here.
