My career has been a journey of walking alongside children, youth, adults, and families through some of life's most challenging moments. With a specialization in health, I’ve had the opportunity to work across various levels of care, including community-based services, emergency departments, acute care units, inpatient psychiatric settings, and crisis services. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the resilience of the human spirit.

As a lifelong learner, I am constantly expanding my knowledge and skills. I’ve completed specialized training in areas such as Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, Dr. Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry, and the Neufeld Institute’s attachment-based approach. I’ve also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety and depression, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, ADHD skills management, and clinical screening and assessment.

Alongside my clinical training, I’ve found profound support in my spiritual practices, which include working with local and Amazonian Indigenous plant medicines and peoples. These practices help ground me and offer a deeper connection to the wisdom of healing traditions that have supported people for generations.

On a personal note, I am also a wife and a Mother to two brave and spirited children. Motherhood is what truly forced me to start my own healing journey. They have been incredible teachers and I am so blessed they chose me.
