I’m a Registered Nurse psychotherapist and I’ve been promoting relationship and emotional fitness for over 35 years. I stumbled upon psychology as a young Mom, and I fell in love with it! I use Solution Focused BRIEF Therapy in my work with couples and individuals. My work is further informed by training in the Bader-Pearson Developmental Model of Couples, Positive Psychology, Couples and Singles Coach Certification from the Relationship Coaching Institute. I am also a certified 7 Principles trainer through the Gottman Institute and follow Esther Perel, Kristen Neff, Byron Katie, Bruce Lipton and spiritual teachers including Esther Hicks, Wayne Dyer and Ekhart Tolle.
In addition to private practice, I’ve worked in a variety of settings including a mental health day program, a specialized Dialectical Behavioral Therapy team (mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness) and Algonquin College. I also worked for the non-profit, Serenity Renewal for Families, serving those affected by addiction as both a psychotherapist and Director of Counselling.
