The most common way of trying to fix our problems is by dealing with the symptoms. This most often leads to short-term solutions with little or no lasting effect. Part of what I offer here is a different approach: going deeper, straight to the underlying causes, to touch on limiting beliefs and interpretive patterns you may hold at your core.

Gaining real clarity often means peeling back a few layers. That isn’t always easy to do through isolated reflection alone, especially at the beginning, when it’s easy to get caught in your own loops and blind spots. Through dialogue, new angles, options, and ways of responding can emerge.

I lean towards an educative approach. I’m not only here to coach or counsel you through your process, but also to share what I know in a transparent way. Where it’s helpful, I’ll bring in perspectives from my experience and study, so that you can better understand what you’re working with and eventually navigate it more independently.

Awareness sets the stage for any real change. We can go for long stretches without really questioning our direction or the habits we find ourselves returning to. Part of this work is getting to know your own ways of being more closely, so that your choices can come from a more authentic place.

Regulation, finding balance and keeping to moderation, tends to get less attention today. I aim to offer perspective that can support your ambitions whilst still keeping to a sustainable way of moving forwards. We can explore tools and practices for regulating behavior, emotion, somatic reactions, and cognitions.

We often develop “masking” behaviors that help us cope in the short term – staying busy, pushing through, shrinking back, or putting on a brave face. They can be useful for a while, but over time they may also keep us stuck, add to our distress, or set us up for setbacks in everyday life. Here, we try to unveil some of these together, so they’re not just running in the background without your consent.
