From me, you can expect someone who is culturally sensitive, curious, compassionate, able to be with you through tears or anger, gentle yet able to focus on what’s needed.

I offer three avenues for healing and growth: counselling, coaching, and family constellations, plus many free self-help resources (articles and videos).

No matter our age or what traumas we may have endured, I believe each of us can continue to grow. We have innate capacities as humans to continue to heal old wounds, mature out of old patterns into increasing integrity with our hearts, our true selves. With desire and guidance, we can learn to enjoy more ease, deeper connection with self, others, and a mystery greater than ourselves.

I will help you get clearer about what’s wrong, rediscover and strengthen your inner qualities and core self, align with your heart, and move forward in your life in tangible ways as you gain ease with new awareness and skills.

My work with individuals, families, and communities is founded in a deep recognition of our interconnection with each other and all life. I have studied many counselling and helping modalities, but my approach is not eclectic. My work starts from simply being with what is, learning from you–about your identity, family, culture, experience, and then seeing what further questions we might ask and what tools we might use together to assist you in realizing your desires.

Highlights of Experience & Credentials

Helping others springs from the deep work I have done on myself and is based in a lifelong passion to nurture each other toward being our best selves. I have been offering psychological counselling formally since 2012, coaching since the late 90s, and constellations since 2016. Before that I worked as a trainer, organization development consultant, and taught peer counselling skills.
