The creation of CircleStone Counselling has occurred after years of exploring my own journey with trauma. As early as I can remember, curiosity about the deeper human psyche and how it supported pain and suffering or joy and connection filled my days.  This inherent sense of curiosity combined with a determination to understand and overcome, led my own journey from a place of destruction to a place of calm and peace. After recognizing the cycle of destructive and self-loathing choices that were causing pain to others and ultimately self and living in a state of constant chaos with a complete inability to form healthy relationships, I began the long pathway to healing; balancing working with the brain, the body, the spirit and emotions. 

Each avenue of learning was a doorway to another level of self awareness and ability to connect more deeply, building on the resources gained. 

What this journey has taught me is that we must acknowledge and work with the whole being and that each person has their own key for entry into a safe and healthy self. 

The combination of brain based conflict practices, body based trauma therapies, spirit based energy work all combine to support an individual capable of working with the emotions that arise instead of being ruled by them. 

CircleStone is for people who have a desire to dig deeper and explore the possibilities that surround them. Working with individuals, families and communities who have  experienced emotional trauma or conflict is my passion and commitment to life. Supporting the ability to reframe the story and integrate the impacts trauma learning to thrive on the strengths gained from the journey. 

Education and the honour of working with others in a support and healing capacity began 15 years ago and has taken me around the world and most recently working with rural BC and Yukon communities. Each interaction is an honour and gift to share.
