Welcome

The name Lux Umbra, Latin for light and shadow, refers to the idea that human beings exist between polarities. Internally, we all have qualities that we like or dislike, show or hide, know about or need to uncover. Externally, life offers us experiences of both bliss and devastation, connection and isolation, etc. Working with light and shadow refers to seeing you(rself) as you are, layered with virtues and flaws – with compassion. It means celebrating your victories and mourning your losses. It refers to acknowledging, if not accepting, that being alive is both beautiful and horrible. Becoming whole, or “integrated”, is not an easy or even finite process. Healing is painful. But it is the contrast that offers us meaning: shadow and light defining each other's edges. Lux Umbra refers to counselling that accompanies you through your darkest moments to help you find the light again.
