Originally from a small town in Northern Ontario, I headed west in 2010 and eventually made my home on beautiful Salt Spring Island, where I’ve raised my three wonderful boys. With over 20 years of experience in helping and healing professions, I returned to school in 2019 to pursue my passion for counselling. Naturally, I was also drawn to study Somatic Experiencing which aligns with both my personal and professional values. As a curious, life-long learner, I am deeply committed to living authentically—in connection with myself, others, and the natural world. I strive to live a slower-paced life, embracing less do-ing and more be-ing. Creativity stokes my inner fire and I find joy in singing with a community choir, watercolour painting, and learning how to make things “the old school way”. I love talking to strangers and appreciate the beauty of meaningful human connection. You will often find me hanging out in coffee shops, bookstores and art galleries. Nature has been my greatest teacher - showing me the wisdom in stillness, the resilience of growth, and the beauty of cycles that remind us it’s never too late to begin again. I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Registered Therapeutic Counsellor welcoming new clients in-person in Victoria and on Salt Spring Island.
