My life’s experiences of extreme struggle and pain, has allowed me to do the work I do today! Throughout my childhood I experienced many beautiful moments and a great deal of trauma. Trusting became difficult and the world appeared to be a very scary place. I lived a good portion of my life pretending to have it all together, eating to numb out my feelings, focusing on others needs and living in anxiety and depression.

​

One day I looked around and noticed I felt little joy, peace or happiness in my life. I discovered I wanted something different. So, I took a courageous step and began my journey through healing my past trauma and meeting myself all over again. Although it has been a tough process, I can say with great confidence the gains I made and continue to make has positively impacted my life.

​

What I once focused on, like numbing and attending to others to avoid my pain has transformed into purpose. In combination of my personal work and counsellor training I found what I really wanted to do. I found purpose from my pain. Upon graduation I became a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor. One of the greatest pieces of learning I received was... I could only help my clients to the extent that I was willing to go in my own life. So, the best training I had in becoming a therapist was by going within and courageously exploring my life and my family history so I could show up more fully in my life and fully in service of my clients. 

​

I now live a life with a better sense of who I am and although life doesn’t stop throwing obstacles my way, I have the tools and resources to move through them with love and with a support system. Like myself, I have confidence YOU too can find your unique path when you are ready and willing to take the courageous step.
