Why Light Seeker? 

In life, most of us try to avoid discomfort. It makes sense. Messy emotions are inconvenient. Memories of humiliation, shame, sorrow, grief, anger, and regret can feel overwhelming. It makes sense to turn away, numb, avoid, distract, fight.  

​

We reach for these types defences and strategies to help us cope initially. But  what we resist, persists as they say and it soon becomes unavoidable.  

​​​

It is tempting to ignore the shadow. We understand that impulse. But if you are here, some part of you already knows that avoidance is only a temporary solution. The darkness has a way of being seen.

​

The biggest secret is that the dark parts — the parts we keep hidden — can become the keys to our transformation.

​

Our hope is to make it safe to turn towards the things you want to avoid. Gently and carefully. When we do this, we learn the shadow is not frightening or even bad.  We learn to meet all the tender parts of ourselves with acceptance, grace and compassion.  This is all a part of the therapeutic process.   

​

I personally became obsessed with Light and Shadow and all things Carl Jung in college and rediscovered him and all the teachings that he inspired as  I navigated my own personal journey into the heart of my shadow.  

 

Shadow work can have the most profound impacts on overall wellbeing. 10/10 highly reccommend. 

 

In therapy, we try to make the process less uncomfortable. We walk alongside you, gently guiding you and helping the dark parts — the shadow — feel less rough.

 

Because it is far easier to find your way out of darkness with someone holding a light.

​​

Walk with with me, Dear Seeker, I have been here before.  I hold the torch and I know the way.
