I help people see through difficult transitions. Together we find ways of managing mood issues, traumatic experiences, and difficulties in finding one's place in life.
Â
As many clients point out I seek underlying patterns that honour their own sense of truth, need for safety, sense of control, and inner piece.
I use talk-therapy and somatic-work strategies to create inisght and relief. I see the therapeutic process as a collaborative and immersive work of exploration and creativity.

SUFFERING FROM BURDENSOME MOODS...
BEING AN OUTSIDER IN SEARCH OF A PLACE...
If you are going through an important transition in your life and the change involved is becoming overly complex to manage, I can help. In my healing process I had to figure out how to deal with a pretty heavy load of complexity. Picture this: by the age of 11 I had changed 3 countries, gone through 5 cities and even more schools, two languages, had lost 4 close members of my family, and was now facing physical and psychological abuse from a step-mother. And this is just a tiny part of it all. Today, at 45, I own all these changes, and the tools and methods I used are something I think might help you too.
Science sheds light on the underlying reasons of mood disturbances yet this alone does not tell us how to cope or deal with them. For decades I suffered from heavy depression, general anxiety and suicidal thoughts, and practically all my relationships suffered from it. For the most part I and those around me were completely unaware of it and so on the surface everything looked normal, but today, in hindsight, things were very very abnormal. If you are suffering from a mood disturbance, particularly depression or anxiety, I can help. Healing from burdening moods takes a lot of kindness and patience with oneself, and of that I have plenty to share.
KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TRAUMA EXPERIENCES...
BEING AN OUTSIDER IN SEARCH OF A PLACE...
If you are suffering from troubling mood disorders, unexplainable behaviours or deteriorating relationships, chances are you are suffering from underlying causes that might be reconducible to earlier traumatic experiences that have not been processed. Having been the subject of several major traumas in early childhood myself, trauma has become a major focus on my psychological interests for over half a decade now. Of notice here, is that unprocessed traumatic experiences are mostly created by a network of social circumstances that neglect the importance of one or more events, thus, healing must imply relational dynamics that counteract the neglect and strongly advocate for awareness, which counseling is perfect for.
If you are an outsider then we have at least one thing in common. Families, cultures and nations, have always produced outsiders, only to then ostracise, repress, punish, accuse, scape-goat, lie to, and even exile them. These processes are as normal as the 'norm' itself is, yet only very rarely will a family, community, or nation admit to it and make amends. As an outsider one needs to first learn to live well on the fringe. Only then a pathway back to dignity can be regained. With extensive experience on the fringes of many a category, I feel confident that I have the psychological and practical tools to help you find your truth and your pathway.
