Therapists in T6C

I am a Certified Art Therapist and Registered Provisional Psychologist. I strive to create a safe and inclusive space where you can express yourself and where we can develop and work toward clear goals together. I honor people's diverse needs by integrating various approaches to best support them. I work with anxiety, trauma, recovery from intimate partner violence, stress, self-compassion, self-expression and more. I especially enjoy working with students and those in helping professions (e.g. nurses). If you have other areas of concern, I’m happy to discuss how I can help.

I am a registered psychologist with a diverse range of counselling experience. My approach is gentle, yet effective. It is grounded in evidence based practices, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), eye-movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), and solution focused therapy (SFT). My clients have successfully addressed concerns including: trauma, anxiety, depression, abuse, grief, discrimination, gender dysphoria, low self-worth, self-harm, substance use, communication and relationship concerns.

I am a Registered Social Worker with a Masters in Social Work with a Clinical specialization. I’m originally from a small town in New Brunswick and completed my studies in several Provinces across Canada. I also resided abroad for over a year and gained further experience in the field. I bring knowledge from multiple settings in the field with significant experience from children and families who have experienced child abuse or navigated through the Child and Family Services system, adoption and post adoption supports.

Feeling stuck? Over it? Ready to focus on wellness and well-being in your life? If you are looking for a safe, compassionate, accepting space to explore historical and present day troubles and concerns this could be it. I have had the honour of accompanying people on their journey to wellness for over 30 years, and am always inspired by the strength and resilience of the human spirit. My work has taken me to a number of different settings, including residential treatment centers for behavioural and emotional difficulties in children and addictions in young adults, First Nations communities, schools and private practice.

I work predominantly with folks who are racialized, 2SLGBTIQ, neurodivergent, and/or disabled. Often, those I work with have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder; experience identity-based trauma; struggle with relationships, emotional regulation, or impulsivity; want greater self-awareness or understanding; want to feel a sense of belonging, connection, and safety; or generally, want more joy in their lives.

Supporting others begins with the presence of a safe space of openness and acceptance that facilitates a client’s innate yearning for healing, growth, and self actualization. My own journey has led me to the joy, mystery, and wonder of self discovery, the healing experience of healthy relationships, and finding meaning and purpose in life. The enjoyment in my work as a therapist comes from guiding clients on their journey to discover what brings them joy and to help them reconnect to their inner resources – their strengths, wholeness, peace, deeper nature, and internal guidance and wisdom.

People often seek out therapy to work on their problems when really, it's their solutions that are no longer working. Does this sound familiar? As a skilled therapist, I will partner with you to clarify what is important and help you design creative, meaningful and lasting change in your life. In our work together, you will notice that I am very encouraging, and I will challenge you when you look like you could use it. Together we will create a space where you can bravely experience the sometimes-uncomfortable feelings that come with personal growth.

Are you looking to move beyond what's plaguing you and walk in freedom and peace? Would you like to gain tools and techniques to be able to conquer your presenting issues? I believe that with insight, clarity, and acceptance, you can learn better self-awareness and take steps towards healing. I provide a safe environment for you to look at unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, losses, and take actions that can help lead you towards healing and feeling lighter.

Sometimes life can feel very difficult and we are not quite sure why. Often times we are not how to make sense of our lives in a meaningful way and that can stop us from being who we truly are. Or maybe you have been through difficult times in your life that you are not quite sure how to overcome. These difficult experiences can get in the way of maintaining meaningful relationships, building trust or feeling at peace. Processing these events can take place at any age and can look different for each individual. The important part is that you feel genuinely seen and heard.

I am Registered Psychologist with a master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from City University of Seattle. My primary area of experience has been in sexual trauma, as counsellor working at the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton. However, in private practice, I see a variety of different individuals, children and adolescence, with unique and diverse needs. I treat PTSD and trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and many other life difficulties people may experience. My passion is working with anyone who feels like they need to be heard.
