A little about me personally…
If you need someone who can guide you towards calmness, clarity, and your true potential, then you are in the right place! During sessions clients are offered a space to freely express their overwhelming emotions to then come into a state of calm through transformational hypnotherapy, holistic counselling and creativity. I started my practice in 2024 after a decade of working in the wellness, care and helping fields.
While I’ve been involved in the wellness and personal development field since 2015, I opened my private and remote online therapy practice in 2024 to help people like you find relaxation, clarity of mind and authentic self-expression. My passion for holistic counselling and transformational hypnotherapy came through my own journey of loss and grief to rebirth. In 2007, I lost my sister to suicide and, in 2014, I lost my 14-year-old stepson to tragedy. The experiences of loss, death and grief rocked me to my core. It was like I was starting life all over again! I’ve also had to pick myself back up, more than once, when people I loved and cherished betrayed me in ways that seriously set my career back. I had to reinvent myself after circumstances that were simply not fair. At times, I felt like I would never be able to trust anyone ever again. Through it all, holistic practices, art and calming hypnotherapy brought me back to my center and gave me insight as to how to move forward after so much loss until I was thriving again!
Like many of you, I am a creative individual seeking the deeper meaning of my life, my highest potential and moments of peace. When I am not counselling, I am painting, playing music, or connecting with the sweet deer that roam my neighborhood. I enjoy walking along the shorelines of the ocean to reconnect to my inner calm. I love growing in my path as a helper so, I am constantly researching new methods and theories to support my clients find themselves again and feel peace in their heart.
If you are ready to transform your life, then let’s talk today!
Credentials:
I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from Mount Allison University and a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) in Art and Music Education. My educational foundation is further complemented by a Master of Interdisciplinary Studies (M.IDST) from the University of New Brunswick, where I completed a thesis titled “Connecting Crossmodal Interactions in Visual Music to Create ‘Mindful’ Experiences.” My professional experience as an artist spans over 20 years, during which I’ve always integrated the arts, creativity, and therapeutic practices.
As a Counselling Hypnotherapist (CH) and Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I am a graduate of the Counselling Skills and Counselling Hypnotherapy Program from the Orca Institute in British Columbia. I’ve been training in hypnotherapy since 2017, starting with methods from the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) and Michael Newton's Metaphysical Hypnosis. I am also an active member of the International Association of Counselling Hypnotherapists (IACH), Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT), the Association of Counselling Therapists of Alberta (ACTA) and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).
