I was honoured by being chosen as one of a handful of support psychologists for the National Truth & Reconciliation and I’m privileged to be on the very short-list of approved providers for First Nations and Inuit Health, Canada.
I'm a Ph.D.-level psychologist who is specialized with trauma-informed therapy. Through my work, I derive a massive amount of joy from seeing people (a) realizing that intergenerational trauma may be ending with them, (b) realizing that they are healing or unwinding from what they've been through, (c) realizing that they aren't "stuck in the past" anymore, (d) realizing that they like themselves "for the first time" in their lives, (e) realizing that they have never felt better, and last but not least, (f) realizing that they are getting excited about change ... especially when it wasn't imaginable just a short time ago.

You’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious and depressed; weighed down by hurt, shame and insecurity, and feeling “not enough.” You’ve been thinking, if you just do more, things will get better, but they aren’t and it’s impacting your relationships, your work and yourself. You are not alone. I’ve worked with many others with these same concerns.

You may have spent a long time protecting yourself from what happened to you, shaping your life around avoiding anything that might bring those memories back. Yet your body still carries the impact. You might find it hard to stay present when something reminds you of the past, or feel on edge even when you know you’re safe. Your world may feel like it is shrinking as you try to protect yourself, and heavy beliefs like “I’m not good enough” can start to feel true. If any of this feels familiar, therapy can support you to heal.

In my practice, I see a wide range of clients: adults, teens, children, adults who have experienced developmental traumas e.g. sexual, physical & emotional abuse (often in the context of their own dysfunctional family of origin), clients with PTSD, couples who are seeking to strengthen their relationship, families looking for new ways to resolve old problems, and individuals who keep repeating the past. Depending on the presenting problem and a client's history, I often integrate EMDR Therapy and Gestalt Therapy and/or Structural Family Therapy. Remote sessions are available to residents of Alberta.

Do you feel like you're constantly on edge, emotionally drained, or just not yourself—and you're not even sure why? Maybe you're stuck in the same relationship patterns, finding it hard to trust others or make decisions that feel right. You might be floating through life without a clear sense of purpose, putting others first while silently feeling resentful or unseen. Even in moments of rest, it’s hard to relax. You’re easily triggered, quick to frustration, or overwhelmed by small tasks. It’s exhausting to keep it all together—and you may be wondering if things will ever feel different.

Do you struggle with emotions that seem to come out of nowhere, affecting your relationships, day-to-day-life and career? Tired of pretending to be okay when you’re not? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Easier? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage the impacts of anxiety, depression, and trauma on their lives, goals, and relationships. Ignoring those negative thoughts and feelings, and not working through them effectively, can lead to more severe long-term issues for your mind and body. We believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

I fundamentally believe that all human beings desire to feel connected, to belong, and to feel loved. However, we sometimes lose sight of this. Somewhere along the road we have become disconnected, both from each other, as well as from ourselves. My goal is to help you repair your relationship with yourself, and others.
I have an integrated approach, and will tailor your treatment plan to you as an individual. This may include me drawing from CBT, ACT, IFS or integrating treatments such as EMDR. I promise to show up as 100% myself, which often means no usual therapist poker face, and swearing and laughter being part of sessions!
