Hello
I originally hail from Ontario, but have lived in Lethbridge since 2007. I have been in private practice in Lethbridge since 2016. Prior to establishing my practice, I taught in the Faculty of Education at the University of Lethbridge (2007-2014) and went on to teach in the Master of Counselling and Master of Education (Counselling Psychology) programs from 2019-2023. I currently teaching in the graduate counselling program for Athabasca University.
My Story
​In addition to being a registered psychologist in Alberta, I am also a Canadian Certified Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and am an EMDR Certified Therapist through the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA). I received my Attachment Focused-EMDR training in the US and training in Somatic Experiencing (SE) in both the US and Canada. I find EMDR and SE are both effective treatments for PTSD and trauma-related issues. I believe strongly in the body-mind connection related to traumatic events. Alongside EMDR and SE, I also have training in Transactional Analysis (TA).
I also work with Dawn as a cofacilitator offering process-based group therapy training. Dawn and I have presented at conferences both nationally and internationally on using expressive arts in groups and on assertiveness training and have published our work based on this.
​
When I'm not working, I enjoy travelling, spending time with friends, and cuddling my adorable cats.
