Psychotherapy
MY JOURNEY TO EMPOWERMENT
FROM ONCE A SEEKER TO NOW A HEALER
"Yes, I'm a therapist today, but my journey began where you stand now. I was once the client, navigating the very paths of self-discovery and healing that you tread. Since I was a kid I was fascinated by human behaviour and as I grew older I only became more curious by what makes us all tick. From the vibrant streets of Toronto to the quiet of meditation and the wisdom of books and podcasts, my pursuit was clear – to explore consciousness and help others increase self-awareness.
Carl Jung once said, 'Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.' In my journey, I've learned to say, 'it will direct your life, and you will call it free will.' Therapy, to me, is not just a profession; it's the art and science of bringing the unconscious to light, empowering you to live a life with true choice. I wanted to stop being a puppet to my unconscious, to forces I did not understand and I want to help others gain that freedom and empowerment too."

YOUR REALITY
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INNER WORLD
You've embarked on the path of self-improvement, armed with self-awareness and a yearning for personal growth. Yet, you find yourself navigating through a complex maze of emotions and patterns:
-
The silent struggle of feeling stuck in repetitive behavioral patterns.
-
The echo of past experiences and traumas subtly shaping the present.
-
The puzzle of relationships, where connections with partners, friends, and family sometimes feel like a reflection of unresolved traumas.
-
The quest for the 'why' - a deep dive beneath the surface to uncover the driving forces behind your behaviors, coping mechanisms, and defense mechanisms.
Like the iceberg whose vastness lies beneath the surface, you've seen just the tip of your psyche. The true exploration begins when you venture into the depths, into the vast, unseen landscape of your consciousness.
