Education/Training
I am a Registered Psychotherapist and a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I am currently working towards a Masters degree at the University of Toronto. My completed education includes a degree from the University of Toronto and a diploma in psychotherapy from Transformational Arts College.
Mindfulness Meditation
Initially as a means for reducing stress, I explored a number of meditation techniques. My interest was truly sparked when I attended a 10 day silent Vipassana (Insight) retreat in Bodhgaya, India and the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course pioneered by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 2000. My interest and practice has deepened under the guidance and teaching of a number Tibetan meditation masters and Western meditation teachers. I have had the opportunity to study and receive teachings in retreat in Canada, the United States, India and Nepal.
In 2007, I became a student and started to study with a meditation master. Since 2008 I have been participating in a retreat-based meditation training program based on the nine year system of Tibetan Buddhist monastic tradition.
In 2013, I completed a Specialist Certificate in Applied Mindfulness Meditation from the Clinical Mindfulness and Psychotherapy program at the University of Toronto, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work.
Currently I am working on a Masters degree that incorporates mindfulness and mental health.
Energy Psychology and Energetic Studies
I have a diploma in Holistic Health Practitioner Training in Energetic Studies from Transformational Arts College that includes modalities in Vibrational Arts and Sound Energetics and a certificate in Body-Centred Psychotherapy. I am a certified EDxTM (Energy Diagnostic and Treatment Methods) practitioner.
Bio
I have a passion for facilitating individuals who are looking to create change and undertake emotional healing in their lives. I offer a holistic counselling approach to group and individual therapy incorporating an emphasis on mindfulness, meditation and stress reduction.
