Over the past fifteen years, I have worked in a number of traditional or mainstream mental health settings, including hospitals, government organizations, and non-profit agencies. Pursuing certification as a yoga instructor opened me up to various new experiences and explorations of other healing practices, including spirituality, meditation, and movement. I discovered how deep we are beneath the surface matter of our lives, and how important having a strong connection to our body -the carrier of all our experiences- is to our health and well-being. It was these insights that served as the inspiration for me to go back to school to obtain a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology.

My goal is to help people develop healthier emotional selves and find more satisfying ways of living and relating to others as well as the world that is mirrored back to them. I see my role as a therapist as mining for your wisdom and natural healing capacity. My varied background enables me to bring together the best of my knowledge and experience to honor the true Self in each person, and address the voices of body, mind, and soul.

It is an honor and a privilege to be able to participate in the healing journeys of the people I work with.
