How do you climb a mountain? One step at a time. It’s the same process I use for rock climbing as I do with therapy, blending physical, mental, and emotional resilience. Climbing teaches patience, the power of small, intentional moves, and problem-solving—when one path doesn’t work, we regroup and try again. My holistic, integrative approach emphasizes understanding the unique ways a person processes and expresses their emotions, beliefs, and behaviors. Our emotions, thoughts and body language can dictate how we think, feel and act. Small changes to any one of these areas can lead to a positive ripple that we want to see in life.

I am a Registered Psychologist currently accepting new clients for counselling and psychological assessment services. I am registered in both Alberta and British Columbia. In my counselling practice, I believe that self-awareness and self-understanding are fundamental for empowerment and change. I endeavor to apply a collaborative approach with each client in order to build a shared understanding of themselves and the concerns that they bring to each session. I recognize that understanding in itself does not always result in the desired change, and work to address barriers to client goals using trauma-informed interventions.

Hi there! Finding the right therapist for you is one of the strongest predictors of success in therapy, but the search can be incredibly overwhelming. The fact that you are here means you have already taken the first (and often difficult) step in getting connected with the support you deserve. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, grief, or are just feeling lost, you are not alone. Therapy helps you to navigate your emotions, make sense of difficult experiences, develop strategies to cope with stress and worry, and find a greater sense of purpose in life.

I recognize that seeking out therapy is a challenging decision for many and I have the opportunity to work with people through what are some of the most difficult times in their lives. I do this work because I love to celebrate the successes, absurdities, and challenges of my clients. I like to approach my clients with warmth, humor, and directness and I work hard to make my office a safe place for people to explore the darkness and the light that exists within them, and indeed all of us.

Internalizing and understanding our lived experiences is a personal process and we all have found ways to manage the less than ideal aspects of life. Sometimes those 'ways' become less effective, for a plethora of reasons. Counselling can offer the space and support to tease this out. Exploring contributing factors related to the impacts of life events often helps facilitate the transition from self judgement to self compassion and acceptance. I have worked extensively with individuals and couples who are faced with a wide variety of circumstances and have chosen to reach out, in order to support their healing and change process.

I have a very rational and direct approach to counselling; I will say it how I see it, but with a sense of humor if appropriate. My knowledge and experience is well suited for clients that are dealing either with trauma (especially sexual violence or childhood abuse), or would like to have more effective thoughts and behaviours. Healing is not easy, but by looking at what can change, and what could be accepted, clients often find a new balance that helps their thoughts and feelings become more adaptive, helpful, and much less painful. I am currently taking clients in person or online.

“A different therapy must be constructed for each client because each has a unique story.” – Irvin D. Yalom. I believe everybody’s story deserves to be heard, and we all have the intrinsic capacity to heal and change. Your presenting concern is as unique as your fingerprint influencing thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Our connections between yesterday and today are roots to be used as foundations to explore new possibilities, personal growth, wisdom and a deeper appreciation of self and others.

Many individuals grappling with mental health challenges—such as depression, anxiety, and stress—often experience feelings of embarrassment and stigma. Those facing issues like domestic violence, relationship conflicts, addiction, suicidal thoughts, or anger management may feel alone and uncertain about where to turn for support.

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.

We all encounter some degree of difficulty within our lives, and sometimes we find it difficult to navigate these hard times alone. If your relationships have become unfulfilling, or you are experiencing a loss of a relationship, difficult time communicating in your relationships, disrupted sleep, reduced pleasure in previously enjoyable activities, excessive worry/concern, workplace distress, job loss/transition, finding it hard to cope with stress and pressure of daily life, or finding it challenging in adapting to new roles within your life, then allow me to help.

Mental health challenges can present themselves through anxiety, depression, numbness, overwhelm, burnout, exhaustion, grief, angry outbursts, sleep challenges, or other psychological and physical symptoms. Although we might feel better temporarily through various coping mechanisms that help manage our symptoms, it is necessary to address the root cause of the issue to experience true healing. We will work together to target the root cause of your struggles so that you can find peace and balance within your life, while also engaging in evidence based coping tools to better manage your day-to-day mental health during this process.
