About
“As humans, we are on a life-long quest to feel safe.” ~Dr. Stephen Porges My clients regularly say my greatest skill is that I am a safe companion for the journey of life. My goal is to welcome and empower you to discover your own unique gifts, opportunities, and calling for a meaningful life that contributes to a just and flourishing world. I am passionate about cultivating an integrated life. I’m a perceptive and relentlessly curious listener, ready to ask the right question at the right time to spark dynamic insight, transformation, hope, and courage. I will help you discern what your next step is and gather the resources to take that next step in your life’s adventure. I am a clinical philosopher, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and mental health/pastoral counsellor. I bring thirty years of experience providing leadership, mentoring, and counselling in corporate, higher education, non-profit, and clinical settings. I draw on Twelve-Step insights, holistic spirituality/mindfulness habits, and trauma-informed embodiment practices for individual, relational, and communal health and well-being. I am guided by my on-going study of research-based therapeutic interventions.
