About Me

I’m not your typical therapist.

A woman with blonde hair, glasses, and a black sweater sitting on a black office chair in a room with green walls, gray curtains, and a window with blinds, holding a phone and smiling.

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 1500 ART sessions, hold a Master level certification in ART, 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

The wall behind has black art prints of mountain lines and inspirational framed messages. A door with a 'SAFE SPACE' banner is in the background.

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 to help 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.

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 had two Spruce Grove Saints players!

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

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

ART Practice Consultation for ART-Trained Therapists

I offer 60-minute virtual ART practice consultation sessions for ART-trained therapists who want practical, educational support as they continue developing their use of ART. Consultations may include discussion around session structure, target selection, client readiness, session flow, troubleshooting common challenges, building confidence with the protocol, integrating ART into private practice, and finding ways to incorporate ART more intentionally into your therapy work.

Through building a successful ART-focused practice over the past two years, completing over 1,500 ART sessions, and assisting in several ART trainings, I have developed a deep respect for this approach. I’ve witnessed the impact it can have when used with confidence, intention, and respect for the brain’s natural ability to process and heal.

ART practice consultation is educational and consultative in nature. It is not clinical supervision, formal ART training, or a replacement for supervision required by your regulatory body, employer, or ART training organization.
