I am a mother and grandmother, a
psychotherapist/coach/counsellor and an author, a lover of meaningful connection, community, growth and the natural world. My formal education took me from an undergraduate arts degree, to training as a registered nurse, where I worked in acute care psychiatry and mental health for a decade. In my forties, I obtained a masters in counselling psychology and was a founding member of a thriving counselling center where I enjoyed a thirty-year counselling and psychotherapy general private practice working with clients 18 to 80.

My practice has expanded to include coaching with a focus on the rich potential for growth and transformation available during the retirement transition and in the decades following.

I’m passionate about supporting people over sixty-five to move into the next phase of their lives with an unique and actionable plan, feeling well-resourced, energized, and full of positive anticipation for their futures.

Memories of both of my parents later lives fuel my desire to support my clients, and myself, to live meaningful, vital, purposeful, joyful lives.
