I am a Registered Psychologist who specializes in grief, loss, and traumatic death. I work with individuals and families experiencing emotional and psychological issues prevalent in grief (death and non-death loss), trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, and concurrent life stressors. I am passionate about supporting individuals through unwanted changes and difficult life transitions. We can experience life-altering moments, and often feel defined by them; life events that are out of our control, fear-inducing and that threaten our sense of safety. Together, we can work towards restoring safety, control, and normalcy in your life.

Are you looking for a helping hand through divorce, or other trauma, or are you struggling with feelings of uncertainty, general unhappiness, depression, or lower than ideal self-esteem? Together, we can look at strengths, look at what is not going the way you would like it to go, and strategize a plan for making things better. If you have experienced trauma - whether from a car accident, an assault, or abuse as a child, then I definitely have skills in helping to reduce ongoing negative effects of these experiences, primarily using a technique called EMDR, as well as other strategies.

We all carry multiple stories about our selves, our lives, and our experiences. There are parts in our stories that are sometimes hidden from our awareness. It is in the calm noticing, re-discovery, and re-telling of our stories that we can find and connect with parts of ourselves that may need healing, and also parts of ourselves that are insightful, strong, and brilliant even in the midst of hardship and darkness. Through facilitating, witnessing, and holding space together, we can engage in our personal work of healing. I look forward to connecting with you.

I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds, and who present with a variety of psychological concerns. However, I'm most enthusiastic about working with folks who are undergoing significant life change, or who feel that a major change might be necessary. I'm also a keen supporter of mental wellbeing in veterans and first responders, expatriates and immigrants, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I see clients either online, or in person via the Safe Haven Counselling clinic in northwest Calgary (www.safehavencounselling.org).

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In Canada, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
How much does therapy cost?
Some forms of mental health treatment (for example, seeing a psychiatrist, or seeing a psychologist in a government-funded hospital) are free under provincial health plans. Canadians who seek private counseling can typically expect to pay an average of $150 per session, although the actual price generally ranges between $100 and $300 per session, depending on their location and the type of provider they select. Workplace benefits or private insurance plans often provide an annual counselling allowance, and some therapists offer sliding scale fees to clients who cannot pay full price.
