Emotions provide us with a rich source of information about our basic needs. However, growing up many of us were taught to avoid emotions, which makes getting our needs met in adulthood difficult. There are also times when our emotions are not helpful. For instance, when emotions bring up memories of past negative experiences. These unpleasant emotions can endure long after the situation has ended and be so intense and overwhelming that it can make current functioning difficult. Painful emotions are difficult to express and feel, however, once these emotions are out in the open, healing can occur.

At Family Counselling Centres we recognize that therapy cannot be a one size fits all approach. Every individual is unique in how they respond to therapy. Accordingly, we utilize play therapy, animal assisted (horse and dog) therapy, EMDR, art therapy, filial therapy, sand play therapy, and traditional psychotherapy to provide clients with comprehensive care. We treat children, teens, adults, and families using both traditional and non-traditional therapies. We believe that people can live up to their full potential if a nurturing environment is available-- this is why we put such a strong focus on the family.

Change can be scary but even small changes can make a big difference. I offer you a safe space where change can happen at your own pace & where you can bring your problems, fears or pain to work through in a supportive environment. The addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, phobia, etc., can be the initial thing that brings you into therapy, but we won’t just put a band-aid on the symptom. We will get to the underlying root of the problem & heal it where it started. I use the word “we” because it is a collaborative venture, we work together to create change. I work with both individuals & couples. (Ask me about EMDR).

Trauma doesn’t just affect the mind—it can consume every part of you, leaving you feeling lost. Whether from assault, combat, medical trauma, or accidents, the aftermath can leave deep wounds. Anxiety, depression, flashbacks, nightmares, and exhaustion can weigh you down. Relationships can suffer, and emotions like fear, anger, and sadness can overwhelm you at unexpected moments. But you’re not losing control. These are the painful effects of trauma—and with evidence-based treatment, healing is not just possible—it’s within your reach.

It is my belief that therapy is both a dialogue and collaborative relationship between the therapist and their clients. I aim to establish a safe, trusting and encouraging environment for my clients. However, I also strive towards building resiliency, raising self awareness and connecting my clients to a greater sense of community. I enjoy working with clients from all age groups (children, adolescents and adults). I have been offering therapeutic services in the community for 6 years.

Sometime people get "stuck" and are not sure where to turn. I work together with clients to get "unstuck." I mainly work with women who are experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression. I also do some work in reprocessing past abuses / trauma/ or negative past experiences, but the main focus is on making some positive changes in your life.

I offer virtual therapy to clients located in Alberta and the NWT. I work with individual teens and adults, and have a background in working with 2SLGBTQ+ folks, neurodivergent folks, and others navigating social justice issues (e.g. workplace discrimination, eco-grief) and systemic oppression (e.g. racism, colonialism, ableism, fatphobia, misogyny). I am especially passionate about supporting clients in their growth and healing from grief, trauma, complex trauma, and attachment/development wounding.

In this journey of life, we experience all kinds of events both positive and negative. As humans, we are equipped with unique strengths and resources that shape our resiliency when it comes to healing, changing, growing, and adapting. We may experience problems because of a disruption (internal or external) to our daily functioning, which can impact how we feel, how we think, and/or how we behave. This can result to feeling a loss of control and autonomy over our lives. A central tenant to my approach in counselling is social justice which means supporting my clients to empower themselves: regaining power over their lives.

You are valuable and worthy. Each individual has their unique journey of personal growth and an innate capacity to derive meaning from life’s challenges. From an existential perspective, I believe that individuals have an intrinsic desire to find purpose and meaning which enables them to optimize their potential for self-actualization. My aim is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment for you to self-explore and find self-insight/meaning. I use a client-centered integrative approach to meet you where you are and work collaboratively with you to flexibly address your life concerns.
