I grew up on Vancouver Island and feel so grateful to live in such a beautiful part of the world. ​Spending time in nature every day, hiking the many trails in the area, helps me feel grounded and relaxed.

​

In terms of my therapeutic practice, it is a holistic and eclectic blend of relational counselling and hypnotherapeutic practices. I work from a place of believing we each carry an abundance of inner-wisdom and resources that can help us transform our lives. Rediscovering or re-remembering this wisdom can help one overcome fear, achieve goals, and develop strategies for success in all areas of life.

​​

Having always been inquisitive and open to learning different ways of knowing and being, my path to being a hypnotherapist and counsellor involved many twists and turns as I studied a variety of modalities, from yoga to Jungian archetypes, such as the Wounded Healer.

 

Identifying with the Wounded Healer involved a long healing journey where I learned to reconnect my mind and body through yoga, meditation, and self-care practices. This journey ultimately led to years of post-secondary education, learning counselling skills, and training in hypnotherapy as a way to better understand the unconscious.

 

This continuous education in the realm of helping professions helped me to be more reflective, self-aware, and view the positive aspects of the Wounded Healer, such as being more empathetic, altruistic, and understanding.

​​

I truly believe in hypnotherapy and want to share this amazing modality with others. As a certified counselling hypnotherapist with the International Association of Counselling Hypnotherapists (IACH), I employ hypnosis in combination with counselling in order to facilitate healing and promote well-being.
