I am a Certified Advanced ThetaHealing® and Certified Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)/ Tapping Practitioner living and practicing in Toronto. In addition, I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Toronto and a Master of Arts degree from York University.
I fully believe that for all the myriad ways that human beings get hurt and suffer, there are even more ways to heal. I specialize in healing emotional pain and trauma and offering support to those who lack trust in themselves and in life, who suffer from compassion fatigue (burnout), narcissistic abuse, co-dependency, and to all who find it difficult to receive and accept care towards themselves. Symptoms show up in all areas of life, including relationships with family/friends and romantic partners, as well as work. Anxiety, fatigue, suppression of our own needs, and feelings of being used and devalued are common complaints.
Finding the right fit is key. My two most trusted healing tools are energy-based modalities ThetaHealing® and EFT/Tapping. Anytime I feel at loose ends or in crisis, unsure about how to reposition myself, these two methods have seen me through.
I was introduced to ThetaHealing®, a meditative technique first, at a time of great personal loss. My brother had passed away at a young age after years of alcohol abuse. I had been enmeshed in the darkness of his addiction for decades as an enabler. My role changed overnight, and I was suddenly faced with my past choices, as well as overwhelming grief and guilt: why had I not been able to save him?
After a few ThetaHealing® sessions, I began to see significant shifts in my perspective on my role in my brother’s life and death. I had held myself hostage throughout his illness, seeing myself as his keeper. Ultimately, I learned to accept that our lives and our choices are our own. We are at the helm. I began to let go of my old pattern of trying to save those I loved at all costs, which, I now see, resulted in no real benefit to them or me.

As I repeated my old fear-based patterns, so did they. Draining myself of my life force and strength only led to more suffering on both sides. By releasing the burden of desperate, blind responsibility, I have opened myself up to balance, calm, and flow. I reclaimed my own personal power and now see the value in guiding clients to become aware of their own blind spots or shadows, as Carl Jung called them (we all have them, it’s what makes us so human), so that they may be considered, processed, and then released. This way, clients forge their own path to wholeness and empowerment.
One of my greatest joys is seeing the light turn on in clients’ eyes as they move through shadow into clarity and healing. Realizing that the answers to their most confounding questions lie within and are accessible, suffering takes on new meaning. It becomes useful and offers wisdom as it recedes, freeing us from the illusion of powerlessness.
With the addition of EFT/Tapping, a scientifically validated technique, to my practice, I have gained a deep appreciation for the ways in which our bodies, in their infinite wisdom, hold and express our emotional and physical pain as well as signal our inherent drive to heal. Symptoms are a sign that something is off. My response now is, “thank you, I’m listening.”
Long plagued by anxiety, I have seen results in myself I could only have dreamed of. EFT has helped me to establish and honor an ongoing supportive dialogue between thoughts and feelings, allowing me to release the mightiest of old fears and to feel more rooted and calm as I move into and release new ones, whether real or imagined. I have found myself experiencing things I never dreamed of doing and that had never been on the agenda, from starting my own business to paragliding. Life opened up, positively charged new opportunities came into view and then became a reality.
My goal as a clinician is to help you process and release emotional pain and limiting beliefs with the aim of establishing self-trust, self-love and joy as your primary operating system. Your own inner guidance system will come online and you will learn to trust and to consult it regularly. Together we will create an inspired new normal. If I can do it, you can do it. Find out if ThetaHealing® and/or EFT/Tapping are as good a fit for you as they are for me.
Let me be your guide.
