About me

 I was born in a seaside town in British Columbia, Canada, called White Rock. Our family didn’t have a lot, but we had some amazing experiences while my sister and I were young. We were able to live simply and enjoy the beauty that is the BC coast, by boating, camping and fishing and other outdoor adventures. I have many wonderful memories from that time. Slowly, things began to change in our family, while the effects of stress and alcohol dependence took their toll. These issues caused an avalanche of painful events, and a huge amount of pain and trauma for me. I spent my early teenage years in and out of foster and group homes, couch surfing, and on the streets, where I accumulated more painful experiences.This early life shaped the way I experienced life for decades. I was anxiety ridden from waking till sleeping every day, with nightmares almost every night, and suffered what was often debilitating depression. I couldn’t figure out why there was so much chaos in my life. One day, in my early 40’s, I woke up, and some more tough memories I had evidently buried in my teenage years began to resurface. These additional painful memories that I had long-forgotten all hit me at once and completely floored me, to the point of a breakdown. From a place of uncertainty of whether or not I would make it through this, I reached out for help and was soon diagnosed with Complex PTSD resulting from the events of the early period of my life. It had been playing out in various painful ways in my life, eventually landing me in this place of desperately reaching out, thankfully! It was at this point that the light began to shine back into my life. With the help of the person who I found who specializes in trauma, I have been able to free myself from the pain of the past events and memories. They no longer have a hold on me or affect how I respond to life. I have found the zest and excitement for life that I remember having as a child. I wake up and go to bed every day in contentment and gratitude for the freedom and authenticity I am living in my life today. I have dedicated the rest of my professional life to helping people to heal and become free of this type of pain. I will link arms and walk with you into a life of fulfillment and joy.
