I can offer the foundation for insight, self compassion, and motivation to help build a foundation for the future that holds more potential, creativity, and wholeness.
Biography
I offer a compassionate lens with an emotion focused approach when working with individuals, couples, and groups. My formal training is in holistic counselling, additionally completing a two year mentorship with Robert Masters, PhD in intuitive integral counselling with a special focus on shadow work. My other areas of study include attachment, mindfulness, relationship, and somatic work through a Hakomi lens.My journey to becoming a counsellor began in my early thirties. I first encountered therapy as a client for many years working through personal issues around family, individuation, spirituality, anxiety and depression. Here I discovered the importance and necessity of exploring one's inner world as a catalyst to unlocking creativity, passion and freedom within ones life. During this transformative process I felt moved to share the work with others which eventually led me to my studies in Toronto, ON. In 2018 after my training and practicum I began work as an addictions counsellor and farm program coordinator with men in recovery from addiction and mental health, north of Toronto. I now reside in Okanagan Falls, BC with my family and continue a local and online private practice. Additionally I offer men's groups, contemplative movement groups, and also work alongside Indigenous communities on food sovereignty projects. My other passions include hiking, contemplative movement practices, swimming in fresh water, and gardening. I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada and a Registered Counselling Therapist with the Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta.
