Is it time to re/discover you? Let’s do something about it
Suffering is not the kind of thing we RSVP for.
Whether or not you feel skilled at navigating the problems you’re facing, sometimes it helps to get a little help.
When you feel like you’re stuck, lost your purpose, can’t shake something you’ve been carrying all your life or something you’ve been through, taken too many hits, or when life no longer feels passionate or possible, how can you get to where you want to be?
Maybe it’s time we team up.
Whether it’s just having a chat, shining a light on dark corners, unpacking shame, or exploring new directions, we can work together to get you unstuck. Let’s re/connect with your creativity, what you’re proud of, what’s important to you, your playfulness, your curiosity… and work on what’s getting in the way. Smooth sailing never made a skilled sailor.
As a therapist, my job is to facilitate you being/becoming your own mental health expert. That also means, I can’t do this job without you. I need help from your knowledge, your skills, your creativity, and your courage.
What does that mean, that I can’t do this without you? Well…
“I’ve always believed that my biggest teachers of courage and healing have been my clients… My style of therapy is truly a legacy of every client I have ever worked with. This has been one of the tremendous privileges and honours of my life. Many of my most inspirational teachers are those who have been impacted by trauma and adversity – all those who courageously went through survival school and graduated as survival psychologists, who moved on to post-traumatic growth to re/discover themselves”.
Therapy can help.
Do you have difficulty managing big emotions? Are you constantly plagued by shame? Are you feeling numb, lost, or confused? Is anxiety, depression, or anger something that you frequently struggle with? Yes, therapy can absolutely help with these problems, and more.
Sometimes we need a professional to walk some of the journey with us, especially with problems coming from adversity and trauma.
I see positive change happen with clients every day. Come say hello to re/discover you.

I acknowledge the Wadandi People (Saltwater People) of the Noongar Nation as the traditional custodians of the land where I live, work, surf, and play. I pay my respect to their Elders past and present and their ongoing connection and care for Wadandi Boodja. I acknowledge that First Nations sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal Land.
