Some of my studies include an Advanced Counselling Skills Diploma, an Advanced Bachelor’s degree, and a Post Baccalaureate Graduate Diploma. Presently, I am focused in the areas of Psychedelics: a completed Microprogram in Psychedelics and Spirituality Studies, Psychedelic-assisted Therapy certificate and an Advanced Psychedelic-assisted Therapy (PaT) Certificate, completing a thesis in psychedelic studies.
I am increasingly focused on emerging areas of trauma therapy and natural approaches to health. My approaches include: Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner, a 240-hour, year-long, graduate level training in a psychotherapy mental health approach developed by Gabor Mate, Humanistic Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner/Master Practitioner of NLP, practicing approaches and areas of parts therapies including genomics and epigenetics, Deep Brain Reorienting as pioneered by Frank Corrigan, indigenous modalities, and the growing field of plant medicines/ psychedelic studies alongside extra pharmacological healing approaches. I have trained and co-managed support workers, and acted as support worker coach/counsellor, in specialized resource settings with children and youth in care who have social, medical, or mental health issues such as ADD/ADHD, OCD, ODD, Autism, etc., due to significant impacts from trauma and various forms of abuse. I have acted as a coach and soundboard for support workers, met on a monthly schedule. I have consulted for mental health projects and psychological assessments and counselling. I have a long history of teaching at the college level, and coaching and training others. I am also an Active Board member of a Psychodynamic Association. I also am a Director for an online clinic, www.moderngrowthmedicine.com and for an addiction program, www.getsoberprogram.com
Whatever comes up during our sessions, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I have been a witness to it, and I can tell you it is healing. The important element in my sessions is that we have trust and a connection to work together. That is why I offer no-charge consultations, so we can establish this when we first speak. Following both modern therapeutic methods as well as more global and Indigenous modalities, I guide others to un-cover what they come to know. During our sessions, as we discover more about you, this information informs me to choose the best approach/method that will guide you while you uncover your truth. The focus of the healing process is the restoration of relationships that have become out of balance. As a therapist, one is a supporter in a shared experience of learning and growing, with assessments usually being completed by the person being helped. I use questions, storytelling, humour, modelling, somatic modalities, parts therapy, and other proven methods to raise your awareness of your wholeness and interrelationships within life. When called, I use the healing power of hypnosis for connecting within ourselves: spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional. I use a two-eyed approach of both modern and Indigenous knowledge as much as possible during our sessions.
I love to travel. My hobbies include walking, biking, dancing, and a love of food, wine and friendship that combines Old World wisdom with New Age realities.
I am an English-speaking psychotherapist offering online-only sessions to adults, couples, families and older adults.
Every year, we work one-on-one with a limited number of owners and entrepreneurs, leaders and executives, out of the box organizations, life and thought changers, First Nations and indigenous knowledge keepers, to help further our mission of helping you create the life, business, organization and career purpose you are meant to live on this planet. The most important part of what I do is to be an advocate and sounding board for you to be who you are meant to be on this planet. I have coached over 4000 people to live their purpose, coaching one-to-one, leading group work, and facilitating workshops and retreats in BC and abroad, guiding others to re-cover possibilities and paths to live life.
I work, live and create my destiny in my daily life, no matter whether I am in a business office, another country, or learning with my business, life or shamanic masters.
My challenge to you is to also choose the life you are meant to live and to embrace what you know inside yourself.
