I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Macewan University, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, and Psychology Doctorate (PsyD) at California Southern University, researching traumatic loss in children. Over the years, I have worked at various private and community mental health organizations with children, adolescents, and adults.

I utilize a range of evidence-based approaches including Play Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Somatic (body)-based interventions, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT and Trauma Focused-CBT), Intergenerational Trauma Treatment Model (ITTM), Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and The Grief Recovery Method®. I have additional training and education on assisting parent-child attachment relationships, recovery from childhood trauma/abuse, managing substance use/dependence, and supporting young children and their caregivers.

I am a Certified Play Therapist (CPT), Registered Circle of Security® Parent Facilitator (COS-P), and Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®. I offer billing as a Non-Insured Health Benefit (NIHB) provider and Medavie provider which covers Medavie Blue Cross, RCMP, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), and Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP).
