Over the years, I completed the clinical hours and course work to qualify and become a Clinical Fellow with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and  and registered as a Registered Marriage & Family Therapist with the Ontario Association for Marriage & Family Therapy and when Canada formed its own formal credentialing association, with the Canadian Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (RMFT). I also completed the required course work and clinical hours to become a Certified Cognitive Behaviour Therapist. When the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario opened, I became a Registered Psychotherapist.  

There is always something new to learn, and I felt encouraged with the advancement of Third Wave Cognitive Therapies, including ACT, DBT, FAP, CFT, and other models of therapy that have made such an incredible difference to the provision of therapy and client outcomes over the past decade. They have revolutionized the work of the therapist and fit so well with systemic family therapy.

​

My comfort areas of Practice include Aboriginal Clients; Couple and Family Relationship Distress, including High Conflict Couples/Families, including Families Affected by Unresolved Family of Origin Issues, and with Estrangement Issues. I also work with individuals, couples and families experiencing Attachment Issues, Legal Issues, Emotional Dysregulation, and in Supporting Family Pride.

I work with LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, and other diverse identities and expressions, including Two-Spirit people).
