My Journey to Serve You
I am grateful that you found your way here and I want to share with you my journey into why I do this work.
I am in longterm recovery from a variety of addiction and mental health problems. I started my journey in 2011. Through my journey I did everything I possibly could to take care of myself. Training in a variety of self-care practices, peer support approaches, and mindfulness based practices to name a few. Once I developed those skills, I was at a crossroads in my life and I know it sounds cliché, nevertheless my life purpose became helping other people do the same. This brought me back to school to complete my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) and to become a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).
I have trained in a variety of domains to provide me with the most effective tools from ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience to be of maximum service to you.
