As a registered psychologist and having been in private practice for 14 years, I have had the privilege to meet and work with many wonderful couples, families and individuals. I strive to establish a solid rapport with clients in a comfortable environment. I have been told that clients appreciate my professional and direct approach that is not overly formal and allows for humour when appropriate. I use a biopsychosocial approach and incorporate several therapeutic modalities. I work to not only focus on managing symptoms, but getting down to the root cause of what is getting in the way of being able to achieve one’s goals.

My goal is to provide a collaborative, open and supportive space for you to explore your experiences. I am trauma informed, gender and sexuality affirming and kink and poly friendly. I strive to create space for a variety of cultural backgrounds and I can offer a sliding scale to ensure counselling isn't financially prohibitive. I work from an existential, client-centered, and feminist perspective and believe strongly that everyone is capable of healing.

I work with anxiety, addiction (substance use) and chronic pain. Sometimes the little things become too much and you find you're overreacting or panicking. Maybe you can't get a situation out of your head and you're overthinking or stressed about it. Maybe you tired of numbing the pain or avoiding your problems cause it isn't helping. Sometimes our motivation is to stop passing on unhealthy patterns to our kids. Maybe you want to control your emotions so they don't control you. If you want to work on the roots of addiction and the stress and anxiety that is always brewing below the surface of chronic pain, we could be a fit.

I’ve been privileged to live and work in Alberta’s far north, where I’ve become familiar with a wide diversity of cultures and personalities. I understand the unique challenges – such as isolation, transportation, lack of access to support services - that Northerners face. My clients include those facing issues related to intergenerational trauma, residential schools, 60s scoop, addictions, family violence and systemic racism. I have experience working with trauma, sexual assault, grief and loss, separation/divorce, and the LGBTQ community.

I believe we all have internal strengths and resources to work through life's challenges. Sometimes we lose sight of these strengths, sometimes there are gaps in our skills set, or perhaps there are blind spots in how we view a problem situation. My role is to help clients explore, discover and understand themselves and to help clients learn new skills and strategies to address the presenting concern.

Choosing a therapist can feel like a daunting task; I do not believe that therapy is one size fits all and hope that the following information will help you decide whether we might be a good fit! My clients describe me as non-judgmental, genuine, warm, funny, enthusiastic and honest. I believe that we only have one shot at this thing called life and that we all deserve to live that life to the fullest (and I would love to hear about what that might mean to you)! In the words of Mary Oliver, "What will you do with your one wild and precious life?"

It is my belief, that regardless of the reason the individual has come to therapy - ultimately – everyone is searching for someone who can meet them where they are at, who can truly listen to them, and who can guide them in discovering their internal strength. I approach therapy with the understanding that each person has the capacity to heal, to grow, and for self-guidance. I endeavor to create a space where each client will be able to see themselves as separate from their distress and empowered to create the change they desire.

Working from a holistic frame, I believe that the source for all healing and lasting change is rooted in the mind-body-spirit triad, as well as the family-community connection. I support persons of all ages and histories in finding those resources that may guide them towards experiencing greater satisfaction in their daily living, sense of well-being, and in their key relationships. Using a variety of approaches, I tailor the therapeutic experience to best match each client's needs at any given point in therapy.
