Many of the problems we experience in life can be traced back to parts of ourself that are wounded or not properly integrated. I help you to reflect and make sense of your experience, and to work through areas of your life that bring discomfort. In moving through these discomforts/stuck areas in a new way, you release these wounds, become free from their grasp & move into more aligned, embodied & authentic living. We cannot fully integrate (become whole in our life) unless we heal and integrate all parts (this includes shadow work, healing parental and childhood wounds, ego work, sacred sexuality, reprogramming belief systems, etc.).

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches that take into account the whole person (body, mind, spirit), as well as energy medicine, embodiment, visualization, meditation, sound, journaling and breathwork. I also help individuals through the preparation and integration phases with psychedelic medicines, spiritual growth / crisis / emergence, and healing the inner feminine/masculine dualities. I specialize in supporting clients in navigating Holotropic and Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness and gentle integration of expansive experiences.

Our biggest moments of crisis, when worked with appropriately, are in fact our greatest sources of personal growth and transformation. I often challenge the medical model paradigm, & instead help clients recognize and tap into the innate healing potential / wisdom that each person possesses within. Also essential, is to be able to critically examine the various systems we live, work and play within, and become aware of systemic oppressive patterns that impact our holistic well-being.

Regarding my professional background, I am a Registered Psychotherapist with CRPO, working in private practice with adults desiring to do the deep work, heal their pasts, and live their most fulfilling, authentic and aligned lives. I’ve been in the mental health field for over 20 years, doing trauma-focused counselling/therapy for over a decade.

I currently reside on Vancouver Island in BC, however I provide services remotely worldwide.

I completed ATMA’s Psychedelic Assisted Therapist certificate program and TheraPsil’s Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy training, amongst many other trainings over the years including but not limited to psychedelic integration and harm reduction, sandtray therapy, expressive arts therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, somatic experiencing, psychodynamic therapy, transpersonal psychology, sex therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, mindfulness, holistic breathwork, reiki and energy medicine, embodiment, ecstatic dance, drum facilitation, sound therapy, attachment and yoga philosophy, Tantra and Daoist philosophy, archetypal/holotropic astrology and nondual therapy. In addition, I am an eager learner of various holistic health practices including holistic nutrition, herbal medicine, sound medicine, breathwork and bodywork. I incorporate land-based practices, ritual and ceremony and integration of earth cycles and wisdom.

I provide individual psychotherapy as well as therapeutic embodiment groups and women’s groups and holistic transformational retreats. I support individuals who are working to heal from trauma (childhood trauma, sexual assault, narcissistic parents, emotionally unavailable parents, ancestral and generational trauma, etc.), and who are learning to align with their authentic self and life purpose. I help clients in balancing their anima/animus (inner feminine and inner masculine), build self-esteem, empowerment, healthy connection to body, mind and emotions, finding their voice, increasing intuition, doing shadow work and ego work, releasing maladaptive conditioning, patterns and beliefs and any of that ‘stuckness’ that is getting in the way of you living in your truest full potential.

I also can support individuals with single session (or brief 1-3 sessions) integration support for those who are looking for a bit of extra support with integration after doing their own medicine journeys, but who may not be interested in more extensive therapy work, or who may already have a therapist and are connecting with me primarily for psychedelic education and integration. These stand-alone sessions can be valuable however, can sometimes be limited in that we are missing much of your personal history, and have not built up trust and safety in the relationship.
