I hold an Honors Bachelor of Science with a specialist in Psychology, and a Masters of Science in Psychology. As a believer in life-long learning, I have continued to complete a post-graduate certificate in Addictions and Mental Health Counselling, and certifications in Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment Therapy, and Psychometric Assessments.  

 

I have incorporated additional evidence-based holistic certificates to further round out my training, including a number of mindfulness certifications. ​

​

As an educator, I hold teaching positions at a number of post secondary academic institutions, and provide education at the corporate level on mental health and stress. I have been published in the field of motivation and addiction, and have presented at international and national conferences.  

​

As a therapist, my unwavering commitment to fostering a compassionate and supportive environment has been the cornerstone of my practice. I believe that kindness and empathy are essential ingredients in the therapeutic process, creating a space where clients feel heard, understood, and valued. Guided by a genuine passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges, I am dedicated to establishing a trusting and collaborative relationship with each client. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing and growth occur when therapist and client work together as a team, setting and achieving meaningful goals.
