I have a PhD in Psychology from Saybrook University in San Francisco with a Specialization in Jungian Psychology. I also hold a MSc in Environmental Science and a BA in English and Creative Writing. And prior to that I was a mechanic!
Before becoming a counsellor I worked at the David Suzuki Foundation. While I greatly value conservation work, I felt personally called to a career change. Partly this is from going to my own counselling. From doing my psychological work I became more aware of what holds meaning for me and what blocked my progress. And through this work my life and my relationships improved.
I was drawn to become a counsellor because I feel that nothing is more important than doing our personal psychological work. While this isn’t always easy, especially as our psychological work usually winds back through our pasts and childhoods, it is only by such efforts that we can finally be freed from old, well-worn ruts in order to discover new and more personally fulfilling ways ahead. And ones more in tune with who we truly are.
