About me

I am committed to honouring the unique qualities of each individual and helping them discover their own innate resources for well-being. Whether you are healing from a trauma, anxious about this stage in your life, or adapting to a changing world, we can work together to help you cultivate a more meaningful life and develop skills to navigate challenges. I have been honoured to witness the healing journeys of many people who have been rediscovering their own gifts and resilience with my support. Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the Hakomi Method, forms of mindful, somatic psychotherapy has given me the tools to assist people in discovering their strengths, process their grief, and then move into the inspiring and supported life they are longing for. Deep nature connection work has allowed me to go from being a “tourist in the forest” to a mentor that guides others to cultivate a deep understanding and meaningful relationship with themselves, others, and the natural world. Nature Based Therapy is a great option to support challenges while rebuilding deep connection to the natural world, self and others through the healing benefits of play, sensory experiences, metaphors with the land, and learning naturalist or ancestral skills.
