My studies in Buddhism and Yoga have enhanced my natural ability to be present with others.
My intention is to provide an open, encouraging and compassionate space for Psychotherapy clients as they walk the path of healing.
I consider it a sacred honour to walk alongside you as you embark on or deepen your healing journey in order to live from a place of alignment with your highest good.

Drawn to Buddhism in my mid-teens, I went to Concordia University in Montréal where I studied Buddhism at the graduate and post-graduate levels. In my first year of studies I joined a meditation group (Tibetan Buddhist lineage) which taught me the foundations of how to meditate and about the inner working of the mind from a Buddhist perspective. In 2000 I began the practice of Yoga asana. I have been a practitioner of Yoga ever since, and became a certified teacher in 2011. I now teach, mostly privately in nature.
My continued passion for Buddhism and Yoga prompted me to travel around the world spending months on end in various Buddhist Monasteries, temples, and healing centres while immersing myself in Buddhist and Yogic studies. Infused by the teachings of Lamas while living among Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns, I was steeped in a way of life that values Happiness for oneself and others which involved learning the causes suffering and Happiness or Well Being. Along the way I received my B.A. with Honours from Concordia University in the History and Philosophy of Asian Religions.
Having been told often over the course of my life that I was a‘good listener with a ‘calm presence,' I applied these innate skills to my practice of Psychotherapy. I completed my degrees in Spiritual Psychotherapy and Spiritual Direction at the Transformational Arts College in Toronto in 2016 and for six years I have been offering one on one sessions and am a Registered Psychotherapist.
Since then, my studies have continued to deepen and in April 2020, I received the designation of Certified Hypnotherapist in the Spiritual Counselling Practice of Depth Hypnosis after an intensive two years of studying Depth Hypnosis through the Foundation of the Sacred Stream, a School for Consciousness Studies, in New York and California led by Dr. Isa Gucciardi. In 2022, I completed my certification in Advanced Depth Hypnosis. You can read more about the healing modality, Depth Hypnosis here.
Most recently, when it comes to Psychedelics and Plant Medicine, I completed TheraPsil's Psychedelic Assisted Therapy Training in Los Angeles in November 2023. Furthermore, I have completed the Advanced Training in Plant Medicine through the Sacred Stream in order to ensure harm reduction by preparing for and integrating client's Plant Medicine experience.
I have also completed the Advanced Applied Shamanism certificate through the Foundation of the Sacred Stream and offer remote healing via this potent modality.
Recently, I have completed a Graduate-level microprogram in Psychedelics and Consciousness Studies at the University of Ottawa and am applying to complete the Master's Program while currently completing my first book.
