Currently NOT accepting new clients. I am a Registered Psychologist, and the founder of Compassion Culture Counselling, offering evidenced-based mental health care in Okotoks, as well as virtually across Alberta. I know first hand how challenging it can be to walk through emotional suffering while trying to stay anchored in faith. Whether you’re wrestling with depression, anxiety, grief, burnout, relationship strains, or trauma, I believe healing becomes possible when you are truly heard, and gently guided toward greater peace and wholeness.
As a faith-based psychologist, my work is shaped by Scripture, informed by neuroscience, and grounded in the belief that every person is created with immeasurable worth. I don’t rush your story or try to “fix” you. Instead, I offer a gentle, compassionate space for honest reflection, emotional safety, and openness to God’s healing presence.
Though my work is rooted in Christian values, I welcome everyone. Faith is included only if you request it and is never assumed or imposed. I honour each person’s unique background and offer a respectful, comfortable space to be heard. If you're feeling overwhelmed or longing for support, you're not alone. When you're ready, I'm here.
