Providing counselling and coaching with compassion and understanding

I truly believe in everyone’s unique magnificence. I am passionate about supporting my clients on their journey towards self-discovery; through deeper understanding of where they come from, heightened self-awareness, getting clear on limiting beliefs and what might be holding them back, in embracing who they uniquely are, in honing their inner-power, and in aligning their vision and goals with their true essence and values. All this, ultimately, to live in authenticity and best leverage their unique gifts and life purpose. No matter where you are coming from and what your story has been like, I strongly believe that in our uniqueness, we are all worthy of love and connection.

Aligning all that you are with your true essence can only propel you towards your life purpose, finding peace, love and self-empowerment along the way. I am here to support you on that journey. Wherever you are at, you can be the change you wish to see in your world

The frameworks I draw from have their background in Neuroplasticity (the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization), Gestalt Therapy (which emphasizes personal responsibility and focuses on the individual's experience in the present moment), Person-Centered Approach (which seeks to facilitate a client's self-actualization via acceptance and empathic understanding), Bowen Family Systems theory (a theory of human behavior that views the family as an emotional unit and uses systems thinking to describe the unit's complex interactions), Experiential psychotherapy (using expressive techniques to explore emotional situations from past) and Transpersonal psychology (which integrates spiritual aspects to provide greater meaning and purpose to our problems, dilemmas and crisis). The idea that ‘You are never upset for the reasons you think’ (ACIM) fuels my curiosity, open mind and compassion as a counsellor. I believe that our struggles can also hold the gift of healing and lead to transformation and new perspectives.

During my 20 years of experience working for and with high-profile brands across Canada as an accomplished brand & communications specialist, in both French and English, I worked in several reputable marketing/advertising agencies (including Cossette and BBDO Worldwide) and held senior leadership positions in-house at Nature’s Path Foods and lululemon. I have led many major brand initiatives both internally and for several clients including BCLC (the BC Lottery Corporation), the Government of British Columbia, Mark’s, Onni, Hootsuite, Freestyle Canada (Canadian Freestyle Ski Association), Pepsi, Bell, the Province of Alberta, the Canadian Paralympic Committee, BC Children’s Hospital, Sauder School of Business, Ivanhoe Cambridge, and many more. As such, I have a deep understanding of the corporate world, its systems, dynamics and objectives, how people might operate within that context and the pressures they often face. I’m genuinely interested in what makes people tick, the challenges they face, where they get stuck and what they hope for.

On a personal note, my own journey through love, heartbreaks, deep loss of loved ones, two marriages, divorce, motherhood, career growth and career change as well as over a decade of personal growth curriculums, all fuel my counselling and coaching approach. In my free time, I love being with my family, running, hiking, snowboarding, surfing, SUP, traveling, and keeping learning through various Therapy trainings.

I am here to support you on your path towards self-discovery, self-love, self-empowerment, self-realization, acceptance, and inner peace. I offer a flexible space to share where you are at in your life, relationships, career, health, etc. at your own pace, without judgement. My approach aims to integrate mind, body, heart and spirit, where emotions can be explored, and where healing and empowerment can occur. Together we will process what you need, without pre-set formula – as every session is meant to support you in your unique set of circumstances.

Wherever you are at, you can be the change you wish to see in your world. I look forward to getting to know you.
