About Me
I earned my M.Ed. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Western Ontario. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist, Approved EMDRIA Consultant and Trainer, Certified member of OACCPP, the Ontario Association of Consultants, Counsellors, Psychometrists and Psychotherapists. I have extensive training in a variety of therapeutic interventions in including EMDR, hypnotherapy, gestalt, psychodrama and art therapy.
My 22-year practice includes individual, couple and group therapy as well as a wide variety of workshops in both urban and wilderness settings. Clients come for therapy with me because I offer clinical expertise in a safe environment. More specifically, clients choose to work with me and refer to me because I offer more than just "talk therapy". Clients report significant change after our EMDR sessions.
In workshop settings, I blend traditional clinical practice with creativity, story, and indigenous wisdom in richly experiential processes. My background in education, art and counseling psychology is evident in my pioneering work using mask-making as a dramatic and therapeutic instrument for personal growth and healing. I have organized and delivered over 90 workshops in Canada and the USA in both urban and wilderness settings.
