Our approach

Life is a beautiful journey.

It can however be difficult and with obstacles. It could be exhausting and make you feel alone and stuck at times. Whether it’s you feeling overwhelmed by current challenges, exhausted from past trauma, or being anxious about the future, I am here to help.

Gentle Light was built as an invite to help and to walk with you, either for a little while, or for a longer journey. My approach is to focus on You and at Your own pace. I believe in listening and tailoring our sessions towards your unique needs. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I also support children, teens, and their caregivers on meeting their needs. I appreciate that there are complications in life and aim to provide a non-judgemental space for you.
