Description
It has been an honor to facilitate the healing of hundreds of clients presenting with depression, anxiety, negative self-talk, relationship conflict, despair, anger issues, and shame. As a seniorpreneur, I thrive by sharing my insights and journeying with clients as they gain new awareness of their resilient, lovable, and resourceful selves. One client shared, “It is like you are my personal flashlight bringing me the ability to see light.”
At thirty years of age, I entered therapy to better manage my anger rages. I, my gentle husband, and our dear three children were hurting. Self-reflection and deep dives into my pain was often hard. However, realizing that I was not a bad or stupid person but an adult with childhood trauma, from emotional and physical abuse, was liberating. The rewards of healing were improved relationships, a deepened sense of gratitude, and increased confidence. I began to filter criticism and welcome acknowledgment, support, and opportunities. By the time I was forty years of age I had earned a Master of Arts in Humanistic and Clinical Psychology.
I also have certifications in:
• Certified Canadian Counselor (CCC)
• Certified Integrative Body Psychotherapist (IBP)
• Certified Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR for trauma)
• Janina Fisher’s Integrative Approach to Treating Trauma

Other training includes Personality Dimensions, Marriage and Family Therapy (Credit Courses), Parent Education, Hypnosis, Transactional Analysis, Group Psychotherapy, The Virtues Project, and Adult Education.
