I work in two locations, Edmonton and Sherwood Park, alongside Teens, Young Adults, Adult Women, and Parents who are navigating anxiety, stress, relationships, identity, and life transitions, often while still appearing capable and high-functioning on the outside. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of themselves and are looking for clarity, confidence, and steadiness as they move forward. This includes supporting LGBTQ2S+ clients at all stages of identity development, offering a safe, affirming space to explore fears, changes, HRT, and family, social, or public challenges.
My approach to therapy is a blend of evidence-based and holistic practices that are thoughtful, collaborative, and insight-oriented. I aim to create a calm, non-judgmental space where clients can better understand themselves, build emotional resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Please know, seeking help is not a sign of weakness but rather a sign of strength. We all face challenges throughout our lives and if there is someone out there that can help us navigate through it all, why not give it a try? I look forward to meeting you.

My work goes beyond talk therapy alone. I integrate evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, and MI, alongside mind-body and lifestyle-informed practices. Depending on the client's needs, this may include gentle somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, MBSR, and practical exploration of sleep, movement, routines, and overall well-being.
