Hello! I am Merrill D’Cruz, and I provide counseling and coaching services to help you find clarity and healing, gain a greater awareness of your own experience in the waking world, and navigate obstacles effectively.
I believe that our problems repeat themselves to draw our attention to growth and freedom. If we react unconsciously, the pain may diminish but not go away. However, we learn to respond consciously: the problem transforms into new possibilities and a new life.
We will work together in the space of compassion and kindness, where I offer you my presence of being so that you may deeply reflect on parts of yourself that are blocking you from the changes you want to experience. I regard our encounter as sacred and of mutual respect.
My therapy primarily involves consciously using my suffering as a template for compassion. I have spent several years in academics and clinical work. However, I have found that my time spent on my inner work was instrumental to my development. I have discovered that time spent on our inner lives provides us a rich resource for freedom and abundance.
I have a creative spirit and spend my free time creating music, poetry, and art, alone and with my close friends and family. Spending time in the creative arts helps me realign myself to my true nature when I feel the stressors and pressures of daily life. It is also a way I have found to express myself and enjoy the fullness of life.
My mission is to embrace life’s complexity, acknowledge the pain and suffering we encounter as part of who we are, and strive to live a fully conscious and rich life.
