My Helping Journey
Thank you for taking some time to get to know me, I'm truly glad you are here.
My journey towards the counselling and psychotherapy began in 1997, when I started studying mental health with a deep desire to understand how we think, and why we feel, perceive, and experience life as we do. I resonate deeply with The Wounded Healer by Henri Nouwen, as my own experiences of pain and healing became the catalyst for this path. While each person's story is unique, I have come to recognize how often our patterns and protective responses are shared. My passion is to support others in moving from a state of surviving into a state of thriving —through insight, self-awareness, and the transformation of limiting beliefs.
This calling led me to complete dual undergraduate degrees, a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Social Work, followed by a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, and a Doctor of Philosophy of Metaphysics. Over the years, I have worked in many roles within the metal health field, including counsellor, therapist, social worker, case worker, consultant, course author, coach, and instructor.
I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor, Registered Psychotherapist, EMDRIA-approved EMDR Practitioner, and Registered Acceptance and Commitment Therapist. I am also certified in a range of energy based modalities including Sekhem Master, Reiki Master, Aqualead Master, Nokti Grief Relief Practitioner, and EFT/TFT Practitioner.
In addition to my clinical training, I am an ordained Interfaith Minister and trained metaphysician. These perspectives inform the spiritual and personal growth apsects of my work, where I integrate approaches such as mindfulness meditation, Human Design, therapeutic art, and shamanic practices within a broader framework of spiritual counselling and personal transformation.
I express my passion for growth and development through many avenues. I create wellness resources for clients, develop materials for therapists and practitioners, and write when inspiration calls. My book, Spheres of Consciousness, became an Amazon #1 Bestseller in multiple categories, including Science & Religion and Personal Transformation, and ranked in the Top 10 across several lists. This recognition reflects my commitment to bridging science, spirituality, and personal empowerment in meaningful and accessible ways.
I also participate in podcasts and co-facilitate courses on personal growth and well-being. Over the years, I have come to appreciate the profound transformation that can emerge from even the most challenging experiences, and the power of meeting those moments with awareness and compassion.
As we journey together, my intention is to offer a safe, compassionate, and grounded therapeutic space where you can explore, heal, and grow. I believe that healing is both a science and an art — one I continue to deepen through practice, writing, and presence.

"The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.." -Carl Rogers
My work integrates evidence-based psychotherapy, experiential approaches, and psycho-spiritual practices. Sessions are tailored to your unique needs and may incorporate EMDR, OEI, EFT/TFT, somatic and mindfulness-based approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychosynthesis, and other modalities that support healing and growth.
"You do not have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body." -C.S. Lewis
Western psychotherapy meets Eastern wisdom and energy healing.
My work is informed by an eclectic spiritual background and a belief in the interconnectedness of all life. I see healing as a process that involves the mind, body, emotions, spirit, and the systems of which we are a part.
As a psychotherapist, I integrate evidence-based therapeutic approaches with psycho-spiritual understanding, mindfulness, and intuitive insight. My goal is to help clients better understand the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, beliefs, behaviours, and lived experiences, creating greater awareness, choice, and alignment.
I have had the privilege of supporting clients through difficult emotions, limiting beliefs, life transitions, and traumatic experiences. Together, we work toward greater clarity, resilience, self-understanding, and connection with the True Self.
My talk on transformation
“For so long, we have lived as the caterpillar, holding within ourselves tremendous unrealized potential. Staying in this form, we get caught up in a small part of who we are and who we can be. It is not until we allow this part of us, this little ego-self to die, that we begin to transform. As we wrap ourselves in the cocoon of Truth, made from surrender and love, that we melt away so our True self can be reborn. Rebuilding from the pupa, we work on ourselves and continue to develop and expand. Our cocoon cracks bit by bit with each stage of growth until finally, we break free. Only then, seeing our True Selves in our True reflection, do we learn how to stand tall. As we stretch out to our full potential, we find we have wings. We are not the little caterpillars we once were. We are powerful butterflies. No longer held down, the sky is our limit. Finally, knowing our Truth, we spread our wings wide and soar.”
Who am I from a Human Design Perspective?
I am a Split Definition, Splenic Projector with a 1/3 Profile. For those who are familiar with Human Design, you may already understand what that means. For those of you who are not familiar with Human Design, it really is too much to sum up in a little blurb, but I'll do my best!
As a Projector, I am designed to guide others in how best to use their gifts and energetic resources. But to do this in alignment, I must first honour my Strategy — to wait for recognition and invitation before offering my insights.
My inner Authority is Splenic, which means my guidance comes as quiet, intuitive knowing, not something I can access when my mind is busy or overthinking. Years of self-work have helped me calm the mental noise so I can hear this subtle inner voice when it speaks, because Splenic knowing whispers only once and does not repeat itself.
Adding to this deep inner sensing, I also carry a right-facing Tone 5, which gives me a natural attunement to the G Centre — the energy of identity and direction. This allows me not only to sense the integrity of someone’s sense of self but also to perceive the subtle tonal frequencies they carry, helping me recognize and understand their unique essence on a deeper level.
My 1/3 profile, the Investigator/Martyr, means that I am naturally wired for deep research and discovery. I learn and grow by diving fully into things, combining thorough study with direct, personal experience. This is not just how I gather knowledge; it’s how I live my purpose. My Incarnation Cross, the Vessel of Love, speaks to my role in guiding consciousness toward fulfillment through form and manifestation. In essence, people often cross my path when they are seeking insight, clarity, or direction for the next step on their journey. With a split definition, I am also designed for partnership. I thrive in connection—working with others to help them uncover their truth and move forward. This is where I feel most alive, and why I find such joy and fulfillment in the work that I do.
I’ve learned to trust the inner whispers that guide me off the beaten path. These systems—the BodyGraph, the Gene Keys, the Spheres—are more than maps; they are invitations. Invitations to soften, to listen, and to live as who we already are, rather than who the world told us to be.
