About Me

As a Canadian certified psychotherapist and an English language educator, my career spans over 30 years across multiple disciplines. I hold a master's degree in Counseling Psychology, complemented by a rich background in Recreation and Physical Education. This diverse experience has refined my expertise in addressing complex relationship dynamics and enhancing self-worth. I champion a holistic approach to well-being, uniting rigorous academic knowledge with practical insights from decades of teaching and counseling. It is this unique blend of education and experience that informs my compassionate, multifaceted approach to therapy.

My personal journey has been as colorful and diverse as the clients I serve. A passionate artist, I’ve lived in various cities and immersed myself in different cultures, which has greatly informed my practice. The canvas of life, much like my art, reflects the rich tapestry of human experience, and I bring this artistic sensitivity to my work, helping individuals paint their paths toward fulfillment and resilience. 

Travel has taught me adaptability, art has taught me expression, and my profession has taught me compassion. I believe that within each of us lies a creative force, capable of overcoming adversity and designing a life of purpose. Together, we will explore the depths of your narrative, identify your strengths, and harness your unique capabilities to forge a life that is as vibrant and compelling as the finest masterpiece.
