I created the Institute with certain core values in mind. My goal is that you always feel safe here. It can be frightening to take the first step towards Calgary counselling. My desire is that you feel safe and welcomed without judgement. I’ve created an environment that is free of judgement. We all have our own stories and our own struggles. No one should ever be judged on their story or difficulties. The Calgary Institute of Counselling was created with a focus on bringing healing to clients. It focuses on client care and transformation. Our Calgary Psychologists want to hear your story.

Any client is ideal, anyone who needs help is more than welcome to ask for it. I would listen to anyone, and then let them know if I have the expertise to help or not. That’s one main reason that my first session is always FREE. We not only talk about their issues and goals, but also about their strengths and capabilities. Life is not only about what’s going wrong, it’s good to see things that are going well. I work with individuals, couples and also families. Clients mostly come with personal, interpersonal, relationship, skill deficit, life change, trauma, and mood issues to seek help.

Initiating any type of therapy can be intimidating. My approach is to offer a welcoming, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood as we work together on your treatment goals. I work with individuals on a wide range of mental health-related issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, parenting, burnout and workplace issues. Over the years, I have worked with clients from a variety of fields, including first responders, veterans, health care workers, teachers, executives, business and sales professionals, students, and stay-at-home parents.

Through strong alliances with my clients I believe that helping them recognize their strengths and develop options is key to resuming personal competency and wellbeing in their lives and relationships.

I have experience in successfully resolving symptoms by helping clients develop a positive connection to their emotional world. I have specialized training in the area of marriage and family therapy. I bring to my work passion, commitment, focused skill and professionalism.

My belief that children make sense of their world, learn to express their thoughts and feelings, and build healthier ways to cope, control their behaviour, and problem-solve through play, drives my creative play-based therapeutic interventions.

Modern women face a lot of pressure in daily life. We feel the pressure of societal expectations in everything we do and everything we are: physical appearance, career, motherhood, relationships, work/life balance, etc. When we try to make everything perfect, we set ourselves up for failure and our inner critic kicks in. As a result of the internal and external pressures, many women feel stressed, overwhelmed, and not good enough. Worst of all, we can feel alone in our struggles: "what is wrong with me because everyone else seems to be managing better". Trust me, you are not alone in these concerns and they are all very treatable.

I help adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, boundary setting issues, self-esteem, stress and burnout, spiritual issues/conflicts, and dissociation, become more content and confident. Some clients feel weary or burned out, stuck, or are experiencing a lack of balance in their lives. Issues with self-care and relationships can make it difficult to experience joy in life.

It is important as women and mothers we take the steps to care for ourselves, as we are being pulled in many directions throughout the day. As a parent, I was young, unprepared, and unsupported in challenges that I faced. This has led to my interest in supporting women and parents in their journey. I strive to empower all women to recognize the expectations that society places are not all attainable. You cannot be all of the things, all of the time, and it is okay to slow down and take care of you. I also specialize in working with teens and young adults who are struggling with pieces in life and transitioning to adulthood.

It is my privilege to bear witness to your healing journey. I believe that people are the catalyst for the change they desire, and my role is to support that change in a way that feels meaningful to you. My counselling approach is flexible and creative, with an emphasis on the importance of therapeutic connection. I am truly passionate about working with adolescents, teens, and families. I bring to you an open, accepting, safe space to support your healing journey. I have over 18 years of experience working in the mental health field with children, adolescents/teens, adults, and families in a variety of settings.
