I am a Registered Psychologist (R.Psych.) with the College of Health and Care Professionals of British Columbia (CHCPBC). My home-based office is conveniently located in downtown Castlegar, B.C., providing close access to clients in the West Kootenays, including Castlegar, Trail, Rossland, Christina Lake, Grand Forks, Fruitvale, Salmo, Greenwood, Kaslo, Slocan Valley, Nakusp, Nelson and surrounding areas.
I offer psychological services including psychovocational/ psychoeducational and learning disability assessments for adults, teens & children (ages 6-18), as well as psychological/ mental health and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessments for adults. Please note I am not accepting new therapy clients.
I was born in New Brunswick, where I did my undergraduate degree (B.Sc.) in psychology at Mount Allison University. I earned my Masters and Doctorate degrees in clinical psychology from APA-accredited George Fox University in Oregon in 2004 and 2007, respectively. I am a member of the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA). I opened my private practice 13 years ago, when I moved to British Columbia.
My background includes experience in a variety of roles and settings, with previous work and training experiences at locations such as Northwest Center for Integrative Medicine (Tacoma, WA), Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program (Los Angeles, CA), Oregon Health & Science University – Family Medicine at Richmond Clinic (Portland, OR), Kaiser Permanente (Clackamas, OR), and Multnomah County Detention Center & Inverness Jail (Portland, OR). Prior to returning to Canada, I served as the Team Psychologist for a CARF-Accredited Interdisciplinary Pain Rehabilitation Program in Washington state, where I provided assessments, individual and group therapy, and teaching, for people with work-related injuries, chronic pain, and accompanying psychological distress.
Please note I am not accepting new therapy clients; however please email me for inquiries about assessments.
Sincerely,
