Welcome
A warm welcome to WakingGround
In my practice I offer a space for people to explore where they are, how they are and who they are. Perhaps you have struggled for years, or more recent experiences have brought up challenges for you. People have different ways of understanding their own distress, but I believe that no matter how much suffering it may entail, states we label as “mental illness” or “not coping” are the mind and body’s best attempts to take care of us, under circumstances where other options are, or were, unavailable. Therapy provides an opportunity to gently, compassionately and respectfully investigate the underlying logic of these patterns, and understand their relationship to the needs and choices we have today. With this insight, we can begin to explore new ways of responding to ourselves and the world.
