As the sole proprietor of Seeds of Change: Therapeutic & Developmental Consultation Services and an advanced practitioner in trauma therapy, I’ve combined my passion for learning along with my dedication toward fostering positive mental health and wellness. I offer an empathic approach of connecting with clients whose historical or current experiences render moderate to complex disturbances in their quality of life.

My passion in the helping profession spans over 25 years, evolving into my current field following the loss of my brother to suicide after battling depression and anxiety in 2004. I have vowed to create positive change in societal perceptions of mental health and I’m committed to offering a culturally responsive and socially just practice. As an avid reader, learner and researcher, I’ve emersed myself into my work and I’m along the way to being recognized as a PhD graduate upon publishing my work.

For Self-Care, I enjoy spending time in nature and uncovering my Indigenous heritage. I love spending time with my life-long partner Robert, my adult children and my dogs and I stay active with running, yoga and anything that can be done outdoors. I tap into my creative side through writing, music, design and cooking. As a self-proclaimed foodie combined with my love for travel, I enjoy bringing what I’ve learned from others into my own kitchen.
