After residing in Ottawa, Ontario for 20 years I am pleased to have returned to my roots in the Rainy River District. I bring with me my professional experiences as a college educator, Registered Psychotherapist, and Canadian Certified Counsellor. As a therapist, my aim has always been to form understanding, compassionate, and trusting connections to support individuals, couples, and families as they navigate through the inevitable ups and downs in life. 

​

Whether your goal is to build new coping skills, examine patterns in your life, or understand more about your mental health, I believe that positive change is possible within a therapeutic relationship – I’ve seen it happen.

 

No two people are alike, and my approach will vary based on your unique needs. You may find me drawing from my advanced education in Psychodynamic therapies, Systemic therapies, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or Emotionally Focused Therapy. I am a trained provider of EMDR, an evidence-based treatment for symptoms resulting from traumatic events.

​

As an Associate Member of the Canadian Association for Couple and Family Therapy I have acquired the training and experience to specialize in working with diverse relationships, including couple, family, sibling, and parental. My therapy room has always been a welcoming space for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and relationships. 

​

Outside of my time spent in the therapy room you can find me pursuing my other passion as a college instructor, or delighting in the birds and critters that visit my rural home.
