“There is no greater gift than transforming the things of nightmares into magical, life-changing dreams. And that’s what I get to do.”

How I Got Here
I didn’t grow up dreaming of being a therapist.
(Though I had enough nightmares to keep one in business.)
I just wanted to be self-sufficient.
In my 20s, I worked in a corporate marketing department by day and volunteered on a suicide hotline at night. It was the best of both worlds: a steady paycheck and the chance to do something that actually mattered. It’s also when I first sat with someone with PTSD, long before I had the language for it.
When I moved from the UK to the US in 2002, I tried to volunteer again… but ran into the mess that is the American healthcare system. You can’t do much without a Master’s degree and a lot of red tape. So I figured: if I have to jump through all of those hoops, I might as well make it count.
I enrolled in a Marriage & Family Therapy program (which, by the way, was housed in a seminary), requiring a lot of exploration of my spiritual worldview in addition to my family story. While there, I saw my first therapist, and learned that I had a PTSD diagnosis of my own.
Since then, I graduated, got licensed, healed my trauma and earned certifications in EMDR, energy psychology, coaching, and Akashic healing. I’ve worked with clients across the globe, taught in grad school, spoken at conferences and built a practice that doesn’t just process trauma — it transforms it.
The Fun Stuff
Because I’m more than just a bio
I live on an island in British Columbia with my husband who cooks (oh my word, does he cook), two flower-eating cats, and a Mini Cooper named Tonk.
I leap out of bed when orcas pass by, loathe mushrooms with a passion, and once penned an anonymous Sex Diary for New York Magazine.
I’m deeply moved by the earth, and by the quiet ways the spiritual makes itself known in the physical.
I believe healing should feel real, kind, and deeply relational.
And for everything I can’t fix? There’s always red wine and a bubble bath.

One last thing you should know about me:
I don’t just believe in healing... I’m here to make it happen.
