I have devoted most of my adult life to a deep dive into the profound depths of the human psyche. My personal life experience of great loss and trauma provided me with a rich inner landscape and a heightened respect for the nature of the psyche and its innate intelligence. My formal study of psychology, spirituality and astrology has broadened my understanding of the ancient teachings and its practical application in unison with the workings of the soul's wisdom. (soul/psyche)
In my psychotherapy practice, I seek to pay homage to the presence of my client's inner knowingness and the intelligence of the psyche. By listening from a non-judgmental, intuitively curious and compassionate space, my intention is to create a safe sanctuary to help transform past wounds into lasting heart-centered changes in the heart of my clients' lives.
I am so proud and excited to offer a program I have recently designed. Blueprint Therapy to help my clients facilitate a deep understanding of their own soul's intention, lessons, life purpose and destiny through the exploration of ancestral inheritance, past life and childhood trauma interwoven with evidence-based psychotherapeutic modalities and archetypal/ evolutionary astrology.
I have been studying Evolutionary and Archetypal Astrology for many many years starting my formal training in 1984 with Hal White, a Toronto-based Humanistic Astrologer, then Deep Memory Process Past Life Regression with Patricia Walsh and more recently studying with Jessica DiRuzza, MFT, Archetypal Astrologer & Depth Psychotherapy.
