My Approach
My approach is trauma-informed, based on depth psychology and geared towards self-discovery, personal transformation and healing of the mind, body and soul. My work is guided by the belief that you can transform your life from the inside out by bringing conscious awareness to unconscious aspects of yourself.
We all have an inherent ability to heal – this means your natural state wants to feel alive and well. By identifying and processing what is blocking you from this natural state of being, you can strengthen your connection to a more authentic, vibrant and empowered version of who you are.
I seek to help you uncover and resolve deep issues in a supportive and compassionate environment, and to witness and nourish you in writing your own story of self-healing.
Our work together can facilitate an opening of your mind to your heart, through reflective conversation, somatic exploration and other holistic methods. My approach is a fusion of the scientific and spiritual, shaped by my personal and professional growth, and guided by my heart and intuition.

My Story
Since a young age, I have been drawn towards health, healing and wellness. Working as a Registered Nurse in Emergency, rural and First Nation communities for nearly a decade, I began to see where Western medicine fell short in helping us become whole.
I believe disconnection is at the root of our individual and collective suffering. Disconnection for each other, nature, the world around us and ultimately ourselves. Discovering, acknowledging and reclaiming my connection has been and continues to be paramount to my story.
My own personal struggles led me to alternative ways of finding mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. I began a close journey with Amazonian Plant Medicines in 2017. The fusion of ceremonial work, devotion to self-inquiry and my academic trainings have become the keystone to creating a sense of inner peace, self-love and meaning in my life.
