Adjunct Faculty
I earned my Honours Diploma (Child & Youth Worker) from Humber College in 1992; Bachelor of Applied Arts (Child & Youth Care) from Ryerson University in 1994; and Master of Science (Family Work) from Nova Southeastern University, in 1997. I’m currently completing my PhD in Human Relationships, Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy, at Martin Luther University College.
In addition to my role as adjunct faculty at Luther, I’m a full-time faculty member in the Child and Youth Care Practitioner (CYCP) programs at Humber College. I’m a Certified Play Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, Adult (and Children) Yoga Teacher and Applied Mindful Meditation Specialist.
I’m also the founder and lead trainer of TIYAMA Children’s Yoga Teacher training school, a specialized training that focuses on yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and mental health. I continue to support individuals in my private practice, which I opened in 1999.
I take a holistic approach to healing and mindfulness. I have held several workshops and seminars; contributed articles published in related magazines; have been invited as a keynote speaker and lecturer on many occasions; and have contributed with the Board at the Canadian Association of Play Therapy.
