We all need a soft place to land, to thrive not just survive.
I truly love what I do~
My professional expertise in a post pandemic world is grounded in two careers: as a Counselor CAC II (Addiction Counselor since 2007) and Registered Therapeutic Counselor (RTCc) as well as a 20 year career working as a professional actor (CAEA/UBCP/ACTRA), playwright (PGC) and certified Intimacy Director in theatre/film/tv/dance.
I bring with me a diverse range of knowledge & approaches, as well as lived experience specializing in supporting folks in recovery from stress, trauma, burnout, loss and addiction as well as those working in relationship intense, demanding & public facing professions.
I am a passionate advocate for mental wellness and published my first book, Just the Two of Us, A Soft Place for Tender Hearts to land.
I am also a featured author in the following books:
- You are Not Alone, An Anthology of perinatal mental health stories from conception to postpartum (Wintertickle Press)]
- Transformational Journaling for Coaches & Clients: The Complete Guide to the Benefits of Personal Writing (Routledge Press)
- The Great Book of Journaling (Mango Publishing)
- The Coaches Guide to Completing Creative Work (Routledge Press)
I blend different therapeutic modalities such as: Compassion focused, CBT, DBT, Somatics, Mindfulness, Cultural support, Journaling & narrative therapy.
My professional ethos is influenced by Indigenous ways and the philosophy:
“Every day, I prepare myself to be with others (and myself) in a good way.”
