I have unconditional positive regard for you. There is no judgment here. I will strive to understand you and help you make sense of what you are going through. We will look into defining your needs and help you fulfill them. If you are asking the “why” questions, we can look into reconnecting you with your sense of meaning and purpose.

Emotions are our friends. Truly! Though they may not feel like it at times. My goal is to create a safe place for you to identify and express your emotions. Learning to tolerate emotions, manage their intensity, and use them as the rich guides they are will help you understand your needs and how to fulfill them.

Cognitions and behaviours take us to another of our rich landscapes of being human. Even deeper are the core beliefs, or “schemas” we develop in childhood and carry with us through adulthood. You were an instinctively smart kid to have developed these ways of thinking and being. However, not all patterns work long-term. We will look at them and rewrite them to serve you better as you grow forward.
