About Me

A woman with glasses and a hair bun, sitting on the floor, smiling at her laptop, which has stickers saying 'You are awesome' and a rainbow sticker.

I’m not your typical therapist.

Over the past 18+ years, I’ve worked in a wide range of mental health settings with both youth and adults. My experience in outpatient counselling, inpatient treatment programs, forensic and correctional facilities, schools, and community organizations has allowed me to sit with people in all kinds of circumstances — gaining the insight and understanding I bring to my work today.

Along the way, I’ve facilitated mental health and addiction groups, provided one-on-one therapy, led treatment teams, and collaborated with other professionals to ensure clients receive the care they need. While my training includes several therapeutic approaches, my primary focus is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). I’ve completed over 900 ART sessions, hold advanced certification, and occasionally assist in training other professionals in this modality.

To every session, I bring genuine care, years of front-line experience and training, and a non-judgmental presence. I’ve seen firsthand that with the right approach, healing doesn’t have to take years of talking about the past, and that’s exactly why I do this work.

In The Office

A woman with glasses and blonde hair sitting cross-legged on a black couch, smiling at the camera with a laptop in front of her. Behind her are three black framed art prints of mountain landscapes and a black sun or moon. There are green and black pillows on the couch and a small side table with a decorative box on it to the right.

Therapy with me isn’t traditional and that’s the point. I take pride in offering a different kind of therapy experience. My goal is simple: I want you to start feeling better as soon as possible.

I blend science-backed approaches with years of experience to help you experience real, lasting change through Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

I’m usually in jeans and a T-shirt, sitting cross-legged in my chair. There’s no clinical jargon, no forced breathing exercises, and no endless sessions without progress. My focus is helping you feel at ease, validated, and ready to work with your brain to release the weight you’ve been carrying.

The result? You leave feeling lighter, with a clear mind and a naturally new perspective.

Outside The Office

I grew up in Devon, Alberta, and now live on an acreage with my husband and our 9-year-old son. During hockey season, we billet Junior hockey players. This year we have two Spruce Grove Saints players!

I love spending time with my family, travelling, skiing, working out, and watching hockey or baseball. I’m also passionate about continually learning more about the neuroscience, mental health and addiction.

I’d describe myself as loyal, authentic, and compassionate and I genuinely enjoy getting to know people and hearing their stories.

You’ll also see photos of Frankie, our sweet Golden Retriever–Cocker Spaniel mix, who’s slowly training to be an assistant therapy dog in the office!

Let’s get started.
