Why do you love being a counsellor?
I've always loved hearing people's stories and what uniquely makes them them. I feel like my work is impactful and I leave work feeling like I've had a positive impact in my little corner of the world.What are you up to in your free time?
I'm a bit of a hobby collector. I enjoy singing, dancing, writing, and reading, but also find the time to play and hike with my Australian Shepherd, Lady.What have you learned over the course of your career that has most shaped you?
Two big lessons:-the same systems that help some, destroy others
-that talk therapy alone is not enough to heal trauma; if it does not involve the nervous system and body sensations, the impacts of trauma will live on
What is one piece of advice that you treasure?
Never accept criticism from someone you would never go to for adviceIf you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
