A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

registered psychotherapist  *  spiritual practices guide

Most of my life's journey is discovering how to find moments of joy and what gets in my way.  Along this path, I have travelled, worked, studied, parented and played.  After a 20 year career in Human Resources with an international development non-profit, I took a leap and went back to school for my master's in spiritual care and psychotherapy. This was a great decision, and I've been loving being a psychotherapist since I started practice in 2018.

 

 I approach life and work with a desire for balance, a zest for the creative and a natural curiosity. I’m a long-time enthusiast of spirituality, yoga, health, art, movement, meditation and meaningful connections.  Through it all, I am compiling an abundance of life experience to share with others... (including YOU!) along the journey. 

If this sparks your interest, I'd love to start a conversation!
