As a PhD trained clinical psychologist specialized in evidence-based therapy for insomnia, I'd be delighted to help you achieve restful sleep.

I'm a Counsellor specializing in Adult ADHD, Sleep & Individual Therapy. I help with navigating life's challenges, exploring potential, and making changes to improve mental and physical health. I help my clients understand the challenges of living with Adult ADHD and make changes to improve their lives. Many people with ADHD struggle with sleep problems/disorders, keeping organized, managing time, procrastination, dealing with stress, regulating emotions, navigating relationships, eating problems/disorders, and misuse of substances.

I am a Ph.D. trained clinical psychologist in private practice, conveniently located in south Calgary, Alberta. I am committed to fostering a strong, respectful and collaborative therapeutic relationship with my clients, which I believe is integral to achieving success in therapy.

In my practice, I work with adults of all ages.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a family-focused practice and over 15 years of experience. Children, youth, families, and parents/caregivers often see me when there are concerns about behavior, sleep, anxiety, emotion regulation, family and peer relationships, adjustment (e.g., parental separation, medical diagnosis), and disrupted attachment (e.g., foster care, adoption). Adults seek my services when they have concerns and goals related to relationships, coping, and adjustment. I have worked in diverse settings including children’s hospitals, school districts, a not-for-profit organization, and my private practice.

I provide services to individual adults of all ages (not children or couples), in Alberta and Manitoba.

It can be frustrating and confusing when life looks good on the outside but doesn’t feel good on the inside; feeling tired, overwhelmed and disconnected from the things you worked so hard to have. Therapy may seem like one more thing to do in an already busy life, but there is part of you that is curious about whether it could make a difference. As a Ph.D. level Clinical Psychologist, I have spent the past 10 years successfully treating adults with depression, anxiety, OCD, insomnia, perfectionism, life stress, and relationship difficulties.

I work with adults to manage unpleasant emotions and thoughts; improve sleep; develop decision making and problem solving skills; deal with imposter syndrome; and cope with life transitions (i.e., becoming a parent/caregiver, changing job/career, moving to a new place, retirement, relationship challenges). Together, we can make sense of your current situation and determine how you can improve your wellbeing and overall life satisfaction. I have worked with diverse populations and welcome all adults.

I specialize in anxiety, trauma-related difficulties, and life transitions. These often show up as depression, stress, sleep difficulties, and affected relationships. I can help you heal from physical and sexual abuse. Together, we can navigate transitions and find your personal power. My goal is to help you develop a sense of your own power and identity. Sometimes I am the "expert" with the knowledge and experience, other times I simply listen to you in your painful moments. At all times, I am here entirely for you and always on your side.

I have over 10 years of mental health experience and have successfully treated adults with a broad range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep problems, and interpersonal difficulties.

This means that I work with individuals to address the mental health concerns that often come with chronic disease (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular complications, chronic pain).

In my private practice, I specialize in assessing various developmental challenges in children, adolescents, and in some cases, young adults. I have experience in assessing and diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, Learning Disabilities, and Intellectual Disabilities, amongst other challenges that present in children/adolescents.

I have experience providing therapy (online and in person) to children and youth struggling with various medical conditions (e.g., chronic pain, Tourette's syndrome) and sleep challenges.

If you feel like you no longer take pleasure in usual activities, your interpersonal relationships are suffering, you find your mood sad, angry and you experience sleep disturbances...you are not alone! Mental health is a continuum and everyone at times feels overwhelmed, out of balance and confused by life’s curve-balls. As a Registered Psychologist, I've successfully worked with clients with various issues such as relationship concerns-couples/marital issues, trauma, PTSD, OCD, grief/loss, self-esteem, co-dependency, depression, anxiety, phobia, and occupational stress.

Each client deserves a tailored approach to treatment. I integrate evidence-based principles from a variety of therapy models to provide flexible and individualized treatment. With an individualized treatment plan, I help my clients to identify and change unhelpful patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in order to reduce symptoms, promote positive mental health, and enhance quality of life. I enjoy workng with adults from diverse backgrounds and who are dealing with a variety of mental health concerns.

I was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta raised by immigrant parents. As a child I struggled with fitting in and those feelings still impact me today. Through my own journey, I have recognized that I have a passion for helping others become better versions of themselves which led me to pursuing education in Psychology . My belief is that in order for us to be our best self, we need the space, tools and support to examine factors that influence the choices we make that take us away from living the life we desire. Examining our past can be helpful in understanding our present and lead us to live happier and healthier futures.

People are wonderfully complex beings. It is rare that our suffering and/or distress comes from only one funnel or area of life (although that sometimes is the case!). This is why I believe in taking a holistic approach to therapy. The consideration of nutrition, personal purpose and beliefs, sleep, physical exercise, and social connections can make a huge difference when designing a treatment plan. You are the expert of your own life. My job is to ask meaningful questions, to collect and synthesize information, and work closely with you to design your treatment journey. Let's get started!
