RESTORING HOPE

Free Your Mind, Your Heart, Your Life

Through exploring your lived and felt experiences holistically lies the possibility for profound change. In our work together, difficulties become doorways to deeper understanding, liberating emotional and psychological spaciousness. Resilience, clarity, and vitality are restored.

My approach, shaped by a decade of work alongside R.D. Laing and thirty years of therapeutic practice, creates a sanctuary where healing emerges organically. Drawing from ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience, I guide you through the intricate landscapes of consciousness, exploring the architectural patterns and beliefs that shape your experience.

MY THERAPEUTIC APPROACH

In our sessions, we attend to the full landscape of your experience—body, heart, mind, and your connection to the world around you.

For professionals in highly demanding roles, this approach offers a way to engage differently with complexity, bringing careful attention to how pressure, challenge, presence, and possibility coexist.
