~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

​

As a Registered Psychotherapist licensed by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, my psychotherapy work has a strong trauma therapy focus.

 

I often employ Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy and I work to ensure that my clients benefit from the highest standard of safe and effective care.

 

​My passion is to provide psychotherapy to individuals; assisting you to build a more fulfilling life in today’s challenging world. 

​

I offer therapy to address the after-effects of trauma including, short-term stabilization work to aid with depression, anxiety, self-injury, grief, and emotional distress and longer-term therapy to work on attachment and trauma related relational wounds. I draw from a wide range of training and best practices to help you move forward in your life.

​

My Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Nursing were earned at Western University in London Ontario. I am now retired from my nursing career.

​

Mental health and trauma therapy has been the focus of my work for years, with difficulties such as: Developmental and Attachment Injuries, Trauma, Emotion Dysregulation and Depression as core issues in my work. I employ strategies such as, Imaginal Nurturing, Developing A Secure Self, Dialectical and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in therapy sessions with my clients.

​

I have worked in mental health care and teaching in Southern Ontario at the Canadian Mental Health Association, the Hamilton Family Health Team, London Health Sciences Centre, My Sisters’ Place, London and Western University.
