About Me 

I am passionate about working with you to resolve the root cause of your distress so you can live the life that you want to live. Whether that you are looking to reduce the impact of your mental health symptoms, build your confidence and skills that you can manage the day-today stressors of your life, feel more connected and effective in your parenting role, or to strengthen your connection and skills for managing conflict with your partner, you are in the right place. 

I am a OCSWSSW Registered Social Worker.  I completed my Masters of Social Work program from Wilfried Laurier University in 2022 with an emphasis on working with individuals and groups. I achieved her EMDRIA certification in EMDR in 2019. I have been a therapist for over 20 years working with children, adolescents, adults, caregivers and families in children's mental health.

​

I specialize in working with adults and teen using EMDR to work through the distress of single incident trauma, complex trauma, on-going chronic stress, PTSD, attachment, anxiety & depression, strengthening relationships, communication and managing conflict.   I continue to participate in ongoing training & consultation in order to provide the most effective & evidence based treatment.  I adhere to the OCSWSSW's and EMDRIA's guidelines and standards as a commitment to providing you with safe and ethical therapy.

I opened my private practice near Gorrie, ON in 2016.  My office is located just off a quiet country road where the counties of Huron, Perth, Bruce, Grey and Wellington counties meet.  I decided to open her practice in the same agricultural community where was raised, and now lives with her family.  Living and working in this community gives me a unique perspective on the challenges facing rural families.  I have insight and working relationship to help clients navigate the social service network of resources and supports that are available here.

You do not need to suffer alone. I strive to provide a therapeutic space where you feel welcomed, your lived experience matters, your innate resiliency in honoured, and your privacy is protected.
