Let’s Find You, Together™

I am grateful and delighted our paths have crossed. My interests and experiences span the depth and breadth of self-employment, parenting and homeschooling, in my own journey through personal growth and healing. I am committed to a profound and comprehensive awareness of self and consider my purpose to be a spiritual and creative calling: to bear witness so you may feel seen and heard and to provide the solace we derive from wholeness of being. May you be free of all that is less than as you reconcile your turmoil, that you may instead cultivate inner serenity and bliss.

After graduating from the University of Toronto with a degree in sociology I worked in the Health and Wellness industry, helping national and recreational athletes reach their goals. While I did enjoy this work, I longed for a richer experience beyond quantified achievements. I wanted to address the physical aspects of health, while also activating our emotional and spiritual growth.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the Canadian Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and have post graduate certificates from The Toronto Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling Education (2024), Advanced Certificate in Couple and Family Therapy from Guelph University (in progress), and experiential training from Barbara Forest’s Lifespace Institute of Transformational Psychotherapy in Toronto (in progress).

Additional education includes certificates in Positive Psychology (Laurier University), Mindful Meditation, (University of Toronto), Grief Education™ (trained by world renowned grief expert David Kessler), ClearBeing Soul Coaching, Yoga Instruction (200hour), and Holding Space Foundation Program (Coaching Level).

I homeschooled my two children for almost a decade, by providing multiple experiential learning opportunities in a magical, unhurried environment, where they thrived in co-creating beauty in everyday living. I invited them to grow and discover their authentic selves and held sacred space for them to take risks, to make mistakes, and to be vulnerable.

I know the depth and darkness of the liminal space all too well. For the past decade I have been doing my own inner work. Sometimes I feel like a seed not germinating in the dark soil. What can I say? I’m human. I mess up - big mucky mess. Other times, I can feel the warmth of the light and feel myself sprouting and growing. My faith rests in Christ and spirituality is instrumental in my growth and healing. I thrive on connection and serving loved ones and my community of all faiths. I work daily on growing my curiosity.

Sacred time is spent working in the garden or practising the harp; once or twice I’ve found myself playing the harp in the garden. Gardening and music are two creative endeavours that resonate with the work I do because of their beauty and power to keep me on my path toward my light. Digging in the dirt, mastering a melody , these tasks teach me how to be okay when I am not okay, and allow me to embrace and expand my capacity for dissonance. Oddly enough, one is grounded and one is heavenly, and somehow the liminal space between those two hobbies keeps me somewhere in the joyful middle.
