I was born and raised in the Niagara region of Ontario, on the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee, which include the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, and Mohawk nations. I completed my undergraduate degree in Biology at Queen’s University and spent over 20 years building a successful career in corporate leadership in Toronto. Over time, I felt increasingly disconnected and caught in a cycle of achievement and external validation that left me feeling unfulfilled.

This led me to pivot toward more meaningful work. I moved to the Kootenays, BC, where I worked at a healing retreat centre and began my graduate training in counselling psychotherapy. I am passionate about helping others make sustainable, life-affirming changes and am committed to walking alongside those who seek greater fulfillment, clarity, and connection.

From a young age, I’ve felt called to listen deeply and support others in their healing. My own wellness journey has included navigating trauma, emotional hardship, spiritual seeking, and eventually, a profound personal transformation through traditional Amazonian plant medicine. This work reshaped my life in ways I could never have imagined. I bring over a decade of experience with integration work in this realm and hold deep respect for the complexities of expanded states of consciousness.

Through my pain and suffering, ultimately came great beauty and joy. I believe wholeheartedly in the capacity of every person to heal and have seen it over and over again. My path now includes sharing what I’ve learned, offering care, giving back to my community, and continually learning from those around me.
