I was raised in a rural part of Thunder Bay where every morning I would wake up to the beautiful view of the Sleeping Giant.   I have two wonderful, talented adult children and have worked here for my whole life.

My training in mental health started with an Undergraduate degree in psychology from Lakehead University, then a Masters degree from Yorkville University in Fredericton, New Brunswick.  The main psychotherapy modalities I practice are Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).  I have been practicing since 2007 and have been a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) since it formed in 2015.

In my primary full time job I am a Clinical Consultant in the mental health branch of St. Joseph’s Care Group with the Ontario Structured Psychotherapy Program (OSP).  In that capacity, I provide clinical advice for other psychotherapists who are specifically delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
