CARINA TL

Statistically, I knew that her future was compromised. She would likely have a low education outcome, and therefore low-income potential. She would be at heightened risk of future abuse scenarios, and she would be more likely to have health complications in her life. I got, on a whole new level, with this group of children I was working with, how each and every life mattered to me, and that as a result of their circumstances, they didn’t just need support, they would need the best possible supports that could exist to make sure they would be able to live into a future with their best potential.

From that moment onward, I became obsessive in my studies and work. I wanted to learn everything it took to make a difference in this area of life for all people - our youth and the adults we grow into. I decided: If I am going to do something well in this life - it would be this. My favourite part of this work is seeing eyes light up as hope arises. As they get that they are safe, lovable, worthwhile, capable of a wonderful life, and that someone genuinely cares for them. There is nothing more addictive to me than seeing that light shine. I live for it.

I studied to become a NeuroPsychoDynamic Therapist. I specialize in Trauma (Grief, Risk, and Loss), and also in Childhood Psychological Education. For Youth, Teens, Young Adults, and Adults I have been providing online and in-person Therapy, Coaching, Consulting, Mediation, Childhood and Youth Intervention Programs, Workshops, Team Training and Event Management for Workshops, and a range of Intervention Supports for over 25 years.

When working together, my style is a combination of Teacher and Coach, and I support people to understand how their own constructs influence and impact their lives. This includes technical information about how people are wired, and the investigation into how each person is individually wired. This is a journey into the unique way each of us shows up in the world, what their core drives are, and how this shows up for each person in their life. This gives people access to choosing and mastering their life for themselves and their future. 

I am passionate about seeing people live their optimal life, no matter what they have experienced, and create a life they absolutely adore. I love seeing the ripple effect as their lives produce results in their relationships, careers, hobbies, health, and well-being. Having people discover what lights them up, experiencing freedom, connection, and living their life with power and confidence is what lights me up.

A little about me:

In my personal life, my Son and Daughter are now in their late twenties and early thirties with their own families - I am an enamored Nina to a confident, sassy gorgeous young girl, and 2 sweet, boisterous and earnest young boys. My significant other owns his business and loves the difference he gets to make with his clients too. I am a country girl at heart and live in a National Park in the Mountains surrounded by the rainforest.
