I AM: a wife, mother, daughter, sister, granddaughter, nurse, therapist, colleague, and friend.

I BELIEVE: that our relationships matter most; knowledge is power; many couples do not inherently know how to be happily committed despite societal expectations to the contrary; relationships are a work in progress; relationships can heal; love can prevail.

I HOPE: that the individuals and couples who I am privileged to work with will experience renewed, intimate, and committed relationships of the highest quality.

Professional Background

I have worked for Alberta Health Services for the past fourteen years. I have been employed as a staff nurse, mental health therapist, clinical nurse specialist, and family counsellor. I have worked in a variety of mental health settings including: in-patient acute psychiatry; community mental health; urgent care mental health; walk-in therapy; and most recently, perinatal mental health.

I have been a guest on Breakfast Television and Global Television where I was invited to speak about the challenges couples face during the transition to parenthood.

I am a member of the College and Association of Registered Nurses; the International Family Nursing Association; and the Alberta Association of Registered Nurses in Independent Practice.
