Therapy is an opportunity to understand yourself, navigate life’s challenges, and build a life that feels meaningful. Whether you're processing the past, managing present difficulties, or preparing for what’s ahead, we’ll work together on exploring behaviors, thoughts, patterns, and coping skills. My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth, blending humor, practical strategies, and trauma-informed care. I enjoy being straightforward with my clients while providing an empathic ear. Using evidence-based therapies like EMDR for trauma and Gottman Method for couples, I help clients build resilience and meaningful connections.

I am a registered psychologist and certified teacher with 30+ years of experience working with and supporting individuals of varying abilities.

My extensive experience includes working with youth, LGBTQIA2S+ communities, survivors of violence and those with ADHD, autism, chronic pain, and disabilities/chronic illness.
Having experienced therapy myself, I fully appreciate the courage and vulnerability it takes to engage in counselling. I also believe in the importance of providing safe, neuro-divergent friendly, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and trauma-informed spaces for healing. I am trained in somatic and Trauma-focused CBT to help children, adults and families process trauma.

I have worked hard to learn and understand developmental disabilities such as autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, etc…so that I can provide support that encompasses the unique challenges that come with every family.
Born and raised in Alberta, I’ve learned that nothing is ever as it seems. We can experience spring, summer, fall, and winter all in one day! Alberta has definitely taught me to be flexible and to look for the individual strengths in people. I’ve dedicated my life to learning about developmental disabilities. I use a SCERTS model mixed with CBT and play based interventions. I like to be flexible, using a client centered approach, because I’ve found that even though two people can go through the “same” situation the way they process it is unique to them. I work towards establishing emotional regulation tools that work for the family
