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 19 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.

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, emphasising 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.
