My Professional Background
In 2006, I came to Canada through the rigorous and lengthy Quebec’s immigration Points System Program for Highly Skilled Professionals offered by the Canadian government. Holding the titles of Psychologist and Psychology Teacher, I was granted the opportunity to enter Canada as a Permanent Resident right from the start. My education was recognized and accredited, allowing me to continue my professional journey immediately upon arrival.
I am a Trauma-Informed Therapist, Psychedelic Educator, and Mentor with a solid foundation built on 12 years of rigorous academic education and specialized training, including non-ordinary states of consciousness. My diverse knowledge, extensive experience, and applied skills span over 20 enriching years in various clinical, therapeutic, and teaching fields. I am deeply committed to providing comprehensive, compassionate, and innovative care, empowering individuals on their healing journeys, helping them to integrate their experiences, and achieve lasting transformation.
In both my therapy and teaching practices, I integrate traditional mental health knowledge with a deep understanding of spiritual practices, somatic regulation, and emotional healing. My approach is holistic, bridging the gap between mental health and spirituality, offering you or your loved ones a safe and supportive space to explore and heal.

My Therapeutic and Healing Approach
My practice is eclectic, and my work is deeply transformative and magical. I lead by example, unafraid to embrace my humanity—with both gifts and imperfections. I am committed to remaining fully transparent with who I am at any given moment in my life. This authenticity creates a space where true healing and transformation can occur, allowing clients to feel safe, supported, and inspired to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery and growth.
I teach the importance of showing up exactly as we are, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and a willingness to improve. I guide my clients in extending compassion toward their wounded parts, while also being mindful of how these parts express themselves in the world. In doing so, I teach them to fully accept, honour, and love themselves in any circumstance, no matter what.
During my years of practice, I’ve learned that, regardless of our professional hats, we need to operate from a human perspective when interacting with our clients/audience. Thus I see wearing the human hat at all times is an intrinsic part of being a mental health professional.
I believe true progress in mental health comes when professionals and healers live their teachings and lead transparently. This fosters awareness and compassion for human vulnerabilities, regardless of where one is on their healing or awakening journey.
The cornerstone of my therapeutic approach is client empowerment. I assist my clients in breaking free from old programming to activate their inherent healing abilities and unearth their unique gifts. Guiding them toward fulfilling their highest potential and witnessing their transformative journeys is the greatest reward my profession has to offer.
I encourage my clients to adopt a lifelong learning mindset, urging them to remain open to lessons from every experience and interaction. I advocate for surrendering to the present, embracing curiosity, confronting and integrating our darker aspects, and looking beyond societal norms and stereotypes. Each day, I guide them toward greater self-acceptance and love.
Guiding Principles of Healing and Transformation
Have a Vision
Ground yourself in a clear purpose, allowing your vision to guide you through both personal and professional challenges. Let it inspire your path and keep you aligned with your deepest calling.
Living Life with Intention
Live each day with purpose, aligning your actions with your core values. When you approach life intentionally, every decision and step becomes meaningful, contributing to a life that reflects who you truly are. By focusing on what matters most and being mindful of your direction, you create a path that is both fulfilling and aligned with your greater vision.
Perseverance in Transformation
Healing and growth require resilience. The journey may be long and difficult, but with perseverance, every challenge becomes an opportunity to evolve. Stay committed to the process, knowing that transformation is achieved through dedication and persistence.
Be at Service
Offer your gifts to others with humility, compassion, and dedication. Service to others elevates not only their journey but also your own, as you contribute to a collective healing process.
Have Faith in the Divine Plan
Trust that a higher purpose guides every experience. Even in uncertainty, there is a divine plan at work. Faith allows you to surrender to the unknown with grace.
Trust the Process
True growth comes from releasing control over outcomes. Embrace each step of the journey with patience, trusting that everything unfolds in perfect timing, even if the path seems unclear.
Let Go of Your Human Agenda
Release the need to control or force events according to your own plans. Open yourself to the infinite possibilities that lie beyond the limits of human understanding, allowing life to guide you.
Surrender to the Present Moment
The present is where true clarity and power reside. By being fully present, you access the wisdom of the here and now, allowing for deeper insights and transformation.
Receive the Gifts
Every experience, whether joyful or challenging, holds valuable lessons. Open your heart to receive these blessings, recognizing that they are part of your journey’s unfolding.
Relentless Completion
The act of finishing what you begin is a form of mastery. Embrace the power of completion with courage, even when obstacles arise. Each step toward completion is a victory.
Balance Feminine and Masculine Energies
Honour the harmony between nurturing (feminine) and action (masculine). In balancing these energies, you find strength in vulnerability and grace in power, creating a deeper sense of wholeness.
Embody Grace
Navigate life with a balance of strength and compassion. Grace is found in your ability to remain resilient while softening into your vulnerability, allowing you to hold space for yourself and others.
Joy as a Compass
Let joy be a guiding force in your life and work. Even amidst the seriousness of healing, joy connects you to the divine, reminding you to embrace life with wonder and playfulness.
