Many of the problems we experience in life can be traced back to parts of ourself that are wounded or not properly integrated. I help you to reflect and make sense of your experience, and to work through areas of your life that bring discomfort. In moving through these discomforts/stuck areas in a new way, you release these wounds, become free from their grasp & move into more aligned, embodied & authentic living. We cannot fully integrate (become whole in our life) unless we heal and integrate all parts (this includes shadow work, healing parental and childhood wounds, ego work, sacred sexuality, reprogramming belief systems, etc.). I use a variety of therapeutic approaches that take into account the whole person (body, mind, spirit), as well as energy medicine, embodiment, visualization, journaling and breathwork. I also help individuals through the preparation and integration phases with psychedelic medicines, spiritual growth / crisis / emergence, and healing the inner feminine/masculine dualities. Our biggest moments of crisis, when worked with appropriately, are in fact our greatest sources of personal growth and transformation. I often challenge the medical model paradigm, & instead help clients recognize and tap into the innate healing potential / wisdom that each person possesses within. Regarding my professional background, I am a Registered Psychotherapist with CRPO, working in private practice with adults desiring to do the deep work, heal their pasts, and live their most fulfilling, authentic and aligned lives.  I’ve been in the mental health field for about 15 years, doing trauma-focused counselling/therapy for the last 9 years. I currently reside on Vancouver Island in BC, however I provide services remotely worldwide. I completed ATMA’s Psychedelic Assisted Therapist certificate program, amongst other trainings over the years including but not limited to psychedelic integration and harm reduction, sandtray therapy, expressive arts therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, somatic experiencing, psychodynamic therapy, transpersonal psychology, cognitive-behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, mindfulness, reiki (levels 1 & 2), embodiment, ecstatic dance, drum facilitation, attachment and yoga philosophy, Tantra and Daoist philosophy, breathwork, and nondual therapy. In addition, I am an eager learner of various holistic health practices including holistic nutrition, herbal medicine, and bodywork.
