I became a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist in response to a passion I have in helping others. Over the past 13 years I worked in hospital, outpatient clinic, in-home, and community-based settings helping children, adults, and families work through some of life’s most difficult challenges. Outside of my work and family life, I enjoy cooking, breadmaking, and hanging out with horses.

I had a turning point when I first learned about EMDR therapy in 2017. EMDR intrigued me, so I sought training to practice this form of psychotherapy in the following years, and I continue training to this day. I also got to experience the life-changing impact of EMDR therapy as a client myself. I struggled with unresolved trauma I had with childhood experiences, and had no idea how deeply those childhood experiences still hurt me as an adult, until it was exposed in therapy. EMDR helped me heal, restore relationships, and move forward from trauma so that I could live life more fully and abundantly. It’s safe to say that I really stand behind the value of this work as a clinician, so I started REM Therapy Services to offer this type of support to others who are looking for that refresh.
