I am a professional therapist with over 20 years experience counselling couples, individuals, and families with relationship and personal issues, as well as supervising therapists and facilitating retreats. I truly enjoy helping couples reconnect and bring back the passion in their marriage. I also love helping clients meet their own individual goals such as increased self esteem, stress management and overcoming depression, along with many others. I seek to offer a compassionate approach and sensitivity to your issues, so that you can feel understood without judgement, and also use the latest training to help therapy be as effective as possible.

I collaborate with clients to help them pursue healing, growth, and change in their lives. I support clients as they work through trauma due to present and past events, and to form meaning and purpose moving forward. I combine EMDR, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and play therapy, depending on clients' needs. I offer family mediation for those experiencing separation or divorce, to improve communication and build a path forward. I work with individuals, couples, and children. My hope is that clients achieve personal goals, connectedness, resolution, and the ability to face life head on.

My practice, over the years, has become more and more attuned to problems of conflict and issues of violence. As a trained child psychologist, I have seen first hand the raw damage an emotional injury continues to create. As a clinician, it has not been unusual for me to see the same sorts of trauma: yet locked away in one's memory, living on in current behaviour. This is what conflict can do. The issues just seem to keep on repeating themselves, inevitably with the same unfortunate outcomes. (My role sometimes is the Life Coach who becomes a personal guide.)

I am a Registered Psychologist in Alberta and Ontario. I offer online and in-person sessions. I am also a Divorce Mediator and provide Marital Mediation services. I teach in the Psychology department at Mount Royal University (MRU). I work with people who need guidance to redesign their relationship, work through a crisis or are transitioning into a co-parenting relationship with their spouse.

Listening to clients and providing a respectful environment where it is safe to explore life's challenges is the first step. Each of us has strengths. I respect the expertise you have in your own life, encourage you to look at things differently and guide you to discover your own inner wisdom to help you create solutions that work for you. My clients include individuals, couples and families struggling with relationship breakdown, separation/divorce, parent-child problems, employment issues, anxiety, depression or trauma. I have specialized training in mediation, parenting coordination, parenting assessments and EMDR for working with trauma.

I specialize in trauma related symptoms and concerns. As an EMDR certified therapist I can help with complex trauma, relational trauma, phobias, mood and relationship concerns. I offer treatment intensives and day retreats. Depression, anxiety relationship concerns are often symptoms of trauma and we can explore healing further with EMDR and somatic therapies. I also support individuals and their family members struggling with stress, behaviour problems, communication difficulties, marital concerns, and co-parenting issues after separation and divorce. often a little help can change the direction to a more positive one.

Children experience the world differently. Adults can talk; children prefer to play. Play therapy allows freedom and growth. The play experience takes children's focus off negative self-talk and promotes positive self-awareness. Play therapy helps to explore emotions, work through challenges, and nurtures mastery and resilience. As a Registered Play Therapist with advanced training in play therapy, I can help you find a way to connect with your child. A fully equipped playroom with special toys allows children to fully express their feelings, and supports their growth and changes.

I am a Registered Psychologist with over 30 years experience. I work effectively with children, adolescents and adults. I have worked extensively in the areas of trauma, grief and loss, separation/divorce, anxiety/depression, suicide intervention, suicide bereavement, parenting issues and domestic violence. I utilize art and play therapy interventions while working with children and teens. I focus on hope and teaching positive coping skills. I am trained in EMDR and ART and am skilled in working with complex trauma and PTSD. I believe we all have the capacity to overcome any challenge.

I enjoy working with children, teens and adults. I have experience working with relational issues, parenting, stress, school problems, workplace stress, self-esteem, separation and divorce, grief, life transitions, ADHD, anxiety and depression. My clients and I work together to find creative and practical ideas to help them to reach their therapeutic and personal goals. I typically write down ideas and suggestions that relate to a session, and send them home with each client so that they can continue to focus on their goals and practice concrete strategies.

I am a Registered Psychologist and Registered Marriage and Family Therapist with over 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families.
