CLINICAL COUNSELLOR CERTIFIED EXECUTIVE COACH-candidate ACCREDITED WILDERNESS GUIDE

Master of Science in Counselling with a Specialization in Clinical Mental Health

I was born on a float-house on a glacial-fed lake in BC. Raised between Canada and the U.S, my family was adventurous & entrepreneurial.

I believe in shaking things up—challenging conventional therapy & coaching to create something deeper and more transformative. I partner with you to walk you home to a heart-centered mind, body, and spirit. I walk the talk and have 25-years of personal therapy and coaching under my belt.

I know first hand that Happiness comes in Waves, if you know what I mean!

 
 

My Unique Approach
to Therapy& Coaching

 I understand how your experiences impact your nervous system. I work with origin and wisdom gained from your life’s experiences, not just symptoms. My practice is informed by research in neuroscience, the benefits of nature, art, and mind-body disciplines. Our work together may include a focus on your strengths, immersion in nature, art as expression, sensory awareness, visualization and self-regulation practices.

 This is the art and science of therapy and coaching.

 

Pacific northwest born and raised.
I am your guide to personal & professional mastery.

Words I live by: Vitality, Kindness, Integrity

I blend my skills from outdoor leadership, with clinical counselling, and executive coaching. As a wilderness guide for over a decade, I guided others safely into the wild. As a therapist I can guide you safely into the wilderness within. As an executive coach, I can guide you into the wild potential of your future & your life’s work.

I harness nature’s restorative capacity and take therapy & coaching outdoors & on retreat. 


I have practiced mind-body disciplines including yoga, surfing, Qi gong, paragliding, sailing, and meditation for 30-years. 

 I am a resilient, creative, calm, whole-hearted, and joyful professional.

I became an outdoor leader in 2001. I’ve practiced nature and expressive therapies since 2008. I am in the process of certifying as an Executive Coach. I have practiced clinically since 2016.  

The creation of Akoya is the culmination of my life’s work and story.


Your therapist and coach is only as good
as their lifestyle and wellness.

 

Be a part of  the Ripple Effect and be the change.
