About Me 

I bring into my work as a spiritual companion an interesting mix of training and life experience.  I began my educational journey in Bible College and Seminary and received my first masters in Biblical Counselling in 1986. Then life took me on a 14-year sabbatical and there I faced some difficult life experiences - an abusive relationship, an addict, divorce, welfare and single parenting. Working through these experiences taught me first-hand what transformation can be about.

 

The term wounded healer felt very applicable as I completed my second Masters at Trinity Western University in Clinical Counselling in 2000. Since that time I’ve worked in non-profit, private practice, taught in the Counselling Psychology department and supervised masters level students. I’ve spent many hours helping people find that inner voice of wisdom inside themselves, whether they were healing from abuse, trauma, anxiety, depression or the many other struggles that came through the door.  

 

As I move into the later stages of life, I find myself slowing down and being more contemplative.  In this thoughtful space I offer Spiritual Direction/Companionship, and soul care circles.  I am also serving as an Associate Director and Faculty for the Soul Care Spiritual Direction Training Program.  In this work I weave contemplative spirituality, shadow work, enneagram and dreamwork into what I already offer as a counsellor.
