EDUCATION

My education has always been eclectic, seeking out educators and educational institutions that were consistent with my beliefs and vision for the advancement of human development. Combining my in-depth knowledge of psychology, personality, physiology, and human development, I am able to offer a very grounded, practical, educational, and insightful way of working with people.

I have my doctorate in philosophy from the Open International University for Complementary Medicine (WHO). I am a graduate of the Centre for Training in Psychotherapy and studied at the Masterson Institute for Disorders of the Self (New York). I am certified to practice Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnotherapy and numerous other clinical methodologies and am also a Registered Massage Therapist and Nutritional Consultant. I attended Ryerson University and the Institute for Management Training for organizational development and management studies. My postgraduate programs include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Spiritual Self-Schema Development, and Alternate Dispute Resolution. I am certified to administer a number of assessment instruments including the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (Step I and II), the BarOn EQ-i® (Emotional Intelligence Indicator) and the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument, Firo-B Assessment to name a few.
