ABOUT ME

A topic few are comfortable talking about, sexuality is my speciality and relationships are my passion

​

I love working with couples and individuals who are interested in enhancing their intimate relationships and sexual lives. I'm a therapist, researcher, author and entrepreneur. I translate science about sexuality into real life, and to help people grow in the areas of sexuality, intimacy, relationships and self-care (check out my instagram). I am passionate about reducing stigma associated with sexuality, mental health and health.

After I completed my PhD in 2013, I completed a specialized clinical fellowship in sexual dysfunction after cancer treatment. I received mentorship from nationally recognized experts in sexual medicine.

​

I recently received Calgary's Avenue Magazine's Top 40 Under 40 award. This prestigious award distinguishes recipients as rising stars; high achievers who are impacting their field and the broader community, and who are moving the city of Calgary forward.

I have developed several innovative sexual health programs for cancer patients and I also direct the Oncology Sexual Health Lab at the University of Calgary. There I am on faculty as an Adjunct Associate Professor where I conduct research on sexuality. I have over 40 scientific publications on the topic of cancer and sexuality and am co-author of a book for prostate cancer patients - Androgen Deprivation Therapy: A Guide for Prostate Cancer Patients and Their Loved Ones.

​

Though I'm not sure the "perfect balance" really exists, I try to balance my career, with being a wife and also a mom to a vibrant toddler. I love skiing, golf, and working out, listening to music, and enjoying food with my friends.
