EMDR Basic Training Membership
EMDR Certified Therapist Membership

As a master’s trained registered nurse and therapist, my work flows from an understanding of trauma as held in body and mind. I have 35 years of experience in adult and adolescent mental health in a variety of in-patient and community settings. My professional experience with trauma and my personal experience with ADHD and having familial depression has given me a deep practical understanding of ways to work that integrate into daily life. I have designed hospital and community mental health programs, worked as a sexual assault nurse examiner, and consulted for school systems, child welfare, psychologists, doctors, socail workers and nurses. I was integral in developing materials for a resiliency program (ReachingIN…ReachingOut) that is used by child welfare, early educators and public health in Canada and other countries. I have provided EMDR since 2022 to people experiencing difficulties arising from car accidents, medical trauma including birthing trauma, single-incident traumas, complex early trauma including child protection, depression and anxiety. I am currently registered with British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCMN), EMDR Canada and EMDRIA (EMDR International Association). I offer online therapy in British Columbia.
