About Me
Psychotherapist, Visionary, and Guide
My journey began 34 years ago when I moved to Australia for love. Following the heart-wrenching loss of a much-wanted pregnancy, I spiralled into a deep depression, turning to alcohol to numb my grief. Hitting rock bottom led me to rehab and years of personal growth, ultimately unveiling the belief that I was unlovable and unworthy at the root of my struggles.
Embracing 12-step recovery and working with spiritual teachers and mentors, I immersed myself in meditation, yoga, and various healing philosophies. This transformative experience brought me to a place of self-love and acceptance, fueling my passion for guiding others on their own healing journeys.
As a practical and grounded therapist, I draw upon my intuitive nature, my social science background, and the wisdom gained from my own experiences.
My clients often come to me in a state of hopelessness, and I make it my mission to hold onto hope for them until they find the strength to embody it themselves. I help clients rediscover their inner strength through my work and create a more balanced, fulfilling life. The Healing Practice, fondly called by some of my peers "The Rainbow Clinic," is a haven for clients of all backgrounds, promoting diversity and inclusivity at its core. We warmly welcome individuals from all races, religions, gender identities, and sexual orientations, ensuring that everyone feels seen, heard, and valued throughout their healing journey.

Women & Aging Picture Essay
As I’ve gotten older, my sense of self has improved. When I was 30, I wanted to be 40. When I was 50 I wanted to be 60. I was always that person who knew intuitively that I wanted to be older.
Women & Aging Picture Essay
"...many women would agree that there’s long been a stigma attached to getting older – a notion that you’re past your prime, even invisible, once you reach a certain age.
But things are beginning to change, and now it’s 50’s time to shine. Rather than seeing it as something to deny and turn away from, more and more women are embracing this midlife milestone – and all that comes along with it."
