My professional career spans more than 30 years. As a psychotherapist, lecturer, researcher, supervisor and consultant, I have worked in a variety of settings: psychiatric facilities, university counselling centres, a family and marital clinic and independent practice. I am currently in private practice, and an Associate at the Centre for Treatment of Sexual Abuse and Childhood Trauma.  I formerly taught and supervised individual and/or couples counselling at Saint Paul University, Clarke Institute Psychiatric Hospital in Toronto, and the University of New Brunswick.

My education and experience includes study in psychodynamic, cognitive/behavioral, systemic, emotion-focused and experiential models. My integrative approach is tailored with respect to the clients needs, moving the process forward in a balanced manner. Most importantly, the foundation of my work is based on developing a trusting and confidential relationship with the client.

I enjoy working with adult women, men, and couples who are confronted with past or current trauma (emotional, sexual, physical), marital and relationship problems, life transitions, grief, gender conflict and sexual orientation issues.  I include experiential modalities such as focusing and EMDR to enhance the therapeutic process.

I maintain membership with the Canadian Register of Health Service Providers, the Canadian and Ontario Psychological Associations and registration as a psychologist in both Ontario and New Brunswick. My services are fully or partially reimbursed through many insurance plans, as well as the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch of Health Canada.
