I believe in people.  I know that we are all unique and equally gifted with the potential to heal and thrive.  I have learned this through the amazing people who've shared their stories of challenge and triumph with me.  

Early in my career, I worked with people recovering from traumatic brain injury.  There, I learned about the plasticity of the brain and the resilience of the body, spirit, and mind.  We hear a lot about trauma and it's long-lasting negative effects, but positive plasticity can be harnessed to achieve what is known as Post Traumatic Resilience.

As an educator, I supported children and youth at risk.  With these young people, I learned about the mediating effects of unconditional positive regard.   

As a parent of two children with Autism, I learned about the importance of the nervous system, emotional safety, and non-verbal communication.  

As a counsellor, specializing in work with survivors of childhood sexual abuse and adult sexual assault, I solidified my belief in the individual's innate power to heal and thrive despite the worst adversity.  

Realizing the potential of therapeutic interventions like Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems, alongside the practices of self-compassion, meditation, and yoga, I am committed to sharing the wisdom, techniques, and healing practices of these Mind/Body modalities with my clients.  

I will help you to find your own path to wellness, from Root to Leaf.
