Good day! Thank you for your interest. I am currently accepting new clients and scheduling sessions both in-person and with zoom. Here is some information about me. My aspiration is to help individuals create a life that does not require a holiday. I offer therapy to older adolescents over the age of 16 and adults. I have an eclectic approach to therapy that ranges from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to a mindfulness based approach, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), behavioral, somatic, and creative therapies. I also offer couples therapy based on Gottman methods. I am a registered psychologist in British Columbia (#2800).

I have a special interest in working with clients who endure complex trauma (physical, sexual, and psychological), occupational stress injury, workplace stress/burnout, anxiety, depression, and addictions. I have extensive experience and training working with individuals who experienced struggles at their place of employment and in their personal life. I have a good understanding of current workplace challenges such as unhealthy work environments, as well as the struggles people have returning to work after having endured a moral and/or psychological injury. I also completed training on Gottman based methods to develop a better understanding of interpersonal and relational issues in the context of couples therapy. Lastly, I have a special interest in completing assessments and offering therapy for individuals who endure ADHD.

I completed a Bachelor of Arts (Honors Degree) at the University of Winnipeg and continued my education by completing a masters and doctorate degrees at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I completed a residency at the Department of Clinical Health Psychology, Faculty of Medicine in Winnipeg, Manitoba where I had the opportunity to better understand a Community-Based Consultation Service Delivery Model in small rural communities. I attained post doctorate work experience in a federal prison named Stony Mountain Institution where I completing psychological assessments and offering treatment to federal inmates.

I am a published author in peer review journals and in the process of writing a book. I have been fortunate to be involved in a Health Canada, Internal Research Grant examining Cocaine Use in Canada and Treatment Recommendations. I completed several presentations and chaired a number of symposia at international conferences. I spent my career working in a variety of diverse environments with veterans, correctional officers, teachers, front line workers (e.g., nurses, paramedics), and with individuals enduring addiction. I have 12 years experience working in federal corrections, in addition to having held contracts with a community-based Employee Assistance Program (EAP (e.g., Blue Cross)) and a Not for Profit organization that focused on offering community based services with a focus on trauma. Other work experiences include my working in medical rehabilitation facilities, halfway houses, and with the Department of Veteran Affairs.

I held management positions in the federal government and have supervised several Ph.D. candidates in my role of Chief of Psychology at Stony Mountain Institution, Regional Psychologist (at a national level), and as an Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba.

I offer therapy both in person and via zoom. My rates are $220 for a 50 minute session. Initial couples therapy is $330 for a 90 minute session. I provides an invoice at the end of session that is to be submitted to an insurance provider. I will sometimes bill directly if a contract is initiated with an insurance agency. Payments include debit, credit, e-transfer, and cash that is due at the end of sessions.

My office is located in West Kelowna, British Columbia in suite #209 at 3011 Louie Drive. We are located at the corner of Butt and Highway 97. The office is located in Governor’s Landing directly across from the Value Village. My phone number is (236) 317-6559. Please visit my website at www.kelownapsychologist.com
