I earned my Masters degree in Counseling at McGill University. I am a NYS Licensed Mental Health Counselor (license # 00504). I earned certification in both EMDR and Hakomi therapies, and am a graduate of the Collaborative Leadership Institute's Transformational Coaching Program and Professional Coaching Apprenticeship.
Over the years I have developed a deep commitment toward finding safe, effective ways of healing the imprint of psychological trauma which keeps people locked in self-defeating behavior patterns and struggling with painful symptoms.
I have been an active spiritual seeker for many years, a meditator, a lover of nature. I have many passions: reading, creating wearable prayer bead strands for anchoring the energy of loving kindness meditation practice, photography, visual journaling, hiking and kayaking.
I have over 25 years experience working privately and in agencies in the U.S. and Canada.
