Inspiring fully embodied living, I encourage connection, self-awareness, insight, growth, & transformation with individuals, couples & groups. Recognizing the interconnection between the mind & body, I take a holistic approach to counselling therapy. I view each person as a unique whole being (body, mind & spirit) influencing & influenced by our social contexts such as family, friends, work, environment, & culture. In my work, I weave collaborative conversation with creativity, tailoring my approach to the specific needs & situations of each person. With 20 years' experience as a group facilitator, I also offer therapeutic, psycho-educational & professional development workshops for individuals, couples, businesses & organizations.

I am passionate about the unique meaning you make of the world & your circumstances & your ability to make positive changes in order to live a more fully embodied life. I believe that when you pursue fully embodied living you feel a greater sense of belonging, empowerment & purpose in your life.
