Lastly, I understand how hard it can be to face problems head on. At my worst, I got a job on a cruise ship thinking that distance and time would solve all of my problems. I learned that they will dull the sharp edges of some problems (not all) and actually lead to a host of different concerns. This helped me to learn how to recognize that there are a number of different approaches, solutions, and perspectives that can be taken to deflect or solve different problems, noting that sometimes space is needed to understand the angles. It only took me travelling halfway across the world to figure this out, leading to my new goal of helping others figure it out here!

Because of my experience, I have developed a love for teaching people how to understand themselves and why they developed their problem traits. Through a mixture of nature and nurture, solutions are found to problems during crises that we then hold onto because they work. However, that solution can become the problem when it becomes unyielding and inflexible as we trying to force it into situations it wasn't precisely designed for. Therefore, I find it integral to teach clients how to rebuild these processes to be more adaptive and malleable to current problems they may be facing, thus allowing them to be changed again in the future without needing as much help of guidance. With that in mind I incorporate elements of Solution Focus Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and (more recently) Narrative Therapy to help you achieve your goals!
