I hold space safely for the possibility of change. Allowing you to see beyond the constraints of self limiting beliefs, trauma and past hurts. I help people to see themselves and the situation holding them back in a different light, allowing them to move forward with freedom.

The experience drumming with you confirmed to me the old saying “It is better to light a candle than to
curse the dark”. You, through your therapy work, have spent many years lighting candles.
