About Me

I’m not your typical therapist.

Over the past 18+ years, I’ve worked in many different settings — outpatient counselling, inpatient treatment programs, forensic and correctional facilities, schools, and community programs. These experiences have allowed me to sit with people in all kinds of circumstances, from youth struggling with addiction to adults navigating trauma and recovery.

Along the way, I’ve facilitated groups, provided one-on-one therapy, led treatment teams, and collaborated with other professionals to make sure clients get the care they need. My training includes a variety of approaches, but my main focus is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). I’ve completed more than 600 ART sessions, hold advanced certification, and also assist in training other professionals in this therapy.

What I bring to every session is not just training, but years of real-world experience, a genuine respect for each person’s story, and a belief that healing should feel supportive, not overwhelming.

In The Office

Therapy with me isn’t about lying on a couch while I nod and take notes. I blend science-backed approaches with years of experience to help you actually feel better.

I’m usually in jeans and a t-shirt, sitting cross-legged in my chair. No clinical jargon, no forced breathing exercises, no endless sessions without feeling change. 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 naturally new perspective.

Think of it as therapy, without the “therapy” feel.

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.

Outside The Office

I grew up in Devon, Alberta and now live on an acreage with my husband and our 9-year-old son. We also billet 2 Spruce Grove Saints hockey players during the season.

I love spending time with my family, travelling, skiing, and working out.

I consider myself loyal, authentic, compassionate, and I really enjoy getting to know people. 

You’ll see photos of Frankie, our sweet Golden Retriever Cocker Spaniel mix, who is being trained as an assistant therapy dog for the office! 

Let’s get started.
