Marriage and Family Therapy

  Hope is the belief that change is possible. A skillful counsellor can lend hope when clients are short on their own. (Miller, W. and Rollnick, S., Motivational Interviewing, 3rd Edition) 

Teaching Philosophy

As an educator I strive to be collaborative, developmental, and aware of the needs of adult learners. I see my role as both a facilitator of knowledge and also a mentor in the counselling profession. I hope to provide students with both a solid theoretical foundation as well as practical skill development. I love equipping students to be excellent counsellors!

Background

I have over 15 years of experience in the counselling field, having served in a variety of counselling, leadership, research and education roles. I describe myself as a systemic, person-centered therapist who employs a variety of therapeutic methods, such as family therapy, motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioural therapy. I am a Clinical Fellow and Approved Supervisor with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) and Registered Marriage and Family Therapist and an Approved Supervisor with the Canadian Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (CAMFT). I am also a Registered Counselling Therapist with the Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta and a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers.

Research

Clergy Resilience
Addictions
The classes have provided ways in which to challenge my thinking, and how I communicate what I am learning. I've noticed that I bring a more gracious and thoughtful approach to my sermons and lectures at the church where I am serving.
