“Holistic" dates back to the time of Hippocrates, over 2,500 years ago, viewing a person as a whole being made up of many parts that work in harmony with each other. Guided by this approach and driven by my passion in helping people reach deep healing, I have integrated into my counselling sessions, heart-centered hypnotherapy, yoga, meditation, reiki, spirituality, and guided imagery. Through these therapeutic tools, I can help you gain awareness of the connections between your emotions, thoughts and physical sensations and find your value as a unique individual.

My success in helping clients comes from gaining a deeper understanding about client experiences, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In addition, I help clients seek awareness about how their emotional experiences impact their biological health and functioning.

Finding a therapist can be overwhelming, and connecting deeply with one can be essential for meaningful change. Individuals seek me out for a trauma-focused, somatically attuned, or Jungian depth approach to psychotherapy, especially if their past therapy experiences felt too clinical, leaving them doubtful, judged, and disconnected. If you’re feeling this way, you likely want more than quick fixes. You’re seeking profound insights into how life’s pressures and trauma shape your psyche and body. Your goal is to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and develop a sense of purpose and direction.

What happens when our well-intentioned - yet sometimes uncooperative - brains try to protect us from experiencing harm? Yup, you got it! It's called Stress, also known as Anxiety, and at times it can be quite the nuisance. You are welcome to join me on a journey of knowledge and self-discovery to recognize and appreciate how our brain and bodies have helped us survive the personal challenges and struggles life presents. And then, let's help our brain recognize that, when we are actually safe, we don't need to go into stress mode, and instead ignite our Curiosity, Courage, and Compassion!

What circumstances shifted you into this specific moment in time...to bring this bio into your awareness? Was it the guilt that has consumed you since morning of how you didn’t show up exactly how you envisioned being the best parent...or that you have become conscious to the burden of unrealistic expectations upon self and have decided to courageously dive into the depths of your shadows? Perhaps you have questions about self you never have had before and feeling like no one can relate. All you would like is for someone to hold space while you allow emotions like sadness or anger to flow and feel you are able to cry without shame!
