I have worked and lived in Thunder Bay all of my life except for a few years teaching at the Ontario Police College as part of my career as a police officer. I retired in 2018 as a police Sergeant, and began taking a distance learning course at the Toronto Art Therapy Institute in 2017, graduating last September as a registered art therapist. I have my own practice located in the south end of Thunder Bay and help people deal with their symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD through the use of art projects and a therapeutic component when sometimes feelings are hard to articulate. I am a member of the Canadian Art Therapy Association and a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) member through the CRPO. (College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario).
