I come to the practice of counselling/psychotherapy with a passion for wellness and transformative, life-long learning. I am also a registered nurse with over 30 years of experience in the field. In addition to my private practice, I support a local arts organization as executive director, and teach Clinical Counselling at the post-secondary level. My Ph.D. in the Transformative Studies program at California Institute of Integral Studies focused on privileging emergence and relational learning as generative collective wisdom. My beliefs about diversity and inclusion are couched in this participatory framework.
In my private practice, I provide individual, family and couples counselling through a arts-informed, narrative and somatic framework. I have received specific training and professional development courses in all of the therapeutic modalities I use.
