As a psychologist, I specialize in couples and sex therapy related issues and assessment services (primarily looking at parenting psychological assessments, custody and access assessments and forensic components). I also supervise many of the professionals here at Insight. This includes supervision of the Master’s level practicum student therapists, provisional psychologists as well as consulting with the registered and senior psychologists. This comprises the majority of my work. I also work with the Management Team to support, develop, and investigate new projects that are up and coming, provide content for projects, and address inquiries regarding our services. Occasionally, I am asked by media to comment or provide support on current topics or to do presentations in the community.
Insight is very important to me – it’s my life’s work and I am particularly proud of the current family-oriented sense of community that the Insight team has grown into over the last few years. The breadth and quality of services we offer is unique to Insight. It was great to be recognized by Canadian Business as one of Canada’s fastest growing companies in 2018.

I joined the Insight Psychological team in May of 2020 as a Registered Provisional Psychologist, and work most often in the areas of sex therapy, trauma and assessments. I also supervise practicum students during their practicum, co-host the podcast “Up the Rabbit Hole” with owner and CEO of Insight, Dr. Cory Hrushka, as well as recruit future practicum students with Insight’s Open Houses and onboard the students before they start their practicum.
Before joining Insight, I was a teacher with Edmonton Public Schools for 18 years. I worked primarily with special needs students at the junior high age, coached Volleyball for a few years, and mentored new student teachers as they started their new exciting career paths.
As the Assistant Director of Clinician Engagement, I look forward to helping practicum students realize their potential and complete their practical hours in a safe, empowering and supportive atmosphere. I am also excited to be a part of propelling Insight into the top tier of psychological development training centers in the province.
Working in the area of mental health and wellness for the past 15 years, I joined Insight Psychological in 2020, after completing my Master of Counselling (MC) through the University of Calgary. To date, my work has included clinical practice, program development, and teaching, as a sessional instructor. In my clinical practice, I carry a generalized caseload with subspecialities in sex and forensics. I have developed programs for neurodiverse individuals, contributed to the development of addictions programming, supported the expansion of group programming for forensic populations, and provided feedback on curriculum development. I also sit on several boards, including the Edmonton Violence Prevention Centre and the Diverse Voices Steering Committee, and I volunteer with my local Special Olympics. I believe strongly in community connection and lifelong learning!
As the Director of Clinical Programs and Community Relations, I look forward to supporting Insight as they grow their clinical (area) specializations and work towards meeting the needs of the community.

Prior to my employment with Insight Psychological, I had the opportunity to stay at home with my two children as well as run a day home.

Prior to staying home, I worked as a Legal Secretary for 12 years wherein I was in charge of the Wills and Estates and the Dependent Adult department.
Before working at Insight Psychological, I was unaware of the many positive impacts psychology and counselling can have on people and their day to day lives. I enjoy seeing clients, young and old, leave the office in a much better mindset than when they first entered. The clients, staff, and therapists make it an enjoyable place of employment and I am happy to be part of the team and excited to see where the future takes us.
As Assistant Manager of Client Care and Operations I support a range of departments and colleagues from front-line staff to upper management. As a supportive team player, I actively collaborate with our management team, mental health professionals, administrative staff, and external partners to create an integrated approach to client care while fostering a team-oriented culture. In addition to this, I am responsible for overseeing the administrative operations of several corporate accounts as well as our formal assessment program.
I bring to Insight over 10 years of client care and managerial experience in the debt recovery industry. This opportunity greatly improved my interpersonal skills and guided me in learning how to effectively navigate negotiations, communications and problem solving. This role required a balance of assertiveness and empathy and the skills I acquired over my career have been an essential piece of my continued success with Insight.
