Welcome! I am a Registered Psychologist in Alberta and have over 15 years of experience working as a clinician with adults in outpatient hospital and community settings as well as in private practice. I completed a Master’s degree in Epidemiology and Biostatistics and one in Counselling Psychology at the University of Toronto in 2008, and have since worked with clients on a range of mental health concerns including difficulties regulating emotions, anger, trauma, impulsive behaviours, relationship issues, depression and anxiety.

Do you aspire to feel more contentment or support to reach your goals? If you do and want to work with a warm, non-judgmental, experienced therapist, who gets results, then reach out to me. Clients over the years report that they quickly feel at ease with me, which allows them to feel safe, accepted, and open. To assist the clients, I identify negative thought patterns and issues that may have been impeding their growth & progress & then create an achievable plan. Over the past 20 years, I have worked with children, teens & adults from all backgrounds within the educational and private sectors.

To know oneself takes a willingness to be in an honest enquiry into the roots, structures and patterns that make up our decisions and beliefs.What helps on this journey of discovery is a personal relationship with a skilled guide that is grounded in trust and intimacy.This relationship is a powerful tool to unlock the needed self knowledge to change the stuck spaces we live in.We are able to find the strength to successed in career and relationship.Our aim is to become a whole person, one who is able to function with depth of love and understanding.

I strive to provide a safe and non-judgemental therapeutic environment where clients feel comfortable to share how they are experiencing life and where they are struggling. My focus is to meet my clients where they are at and to work collaboratively with them to make the changes they want to see in their lives. I specialize in helping those who experience anxiety, depression, difficulty in relationships, anger issues, and life transitions. I support clients to challenge themselves, evaluate patterns, explore their inner experiences, increase awareness of emotions, and to process past hurts so that they can heal and move forward.

I do not work with police officers, security guards, peace officers, or prison employees. We might be a good therapeutic fit if you are at the onset of considering a life event in a new light; if you're trying to navigate systems of oppression with grace for yourself; if you're looking for support in finding a sweet spot between codependence and individualism in your relationships; or if you're just looking to be kept company in the hard parts of being a person.

As a Registered Psychologist, my goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for individuals, couples and families as they navigate setbacks and discover their own resiliency.

Hello! You are likely here to find a therapist, which is not an easy task. I hope to make it as easy as possible for you to see if I might be a good fit, and if we aren't, I'll help you to find a therapist who is. Fit with your therapist is a very important part of what makes therapy successful, and helping you find successful treatment at the end of the day is what is important to me.

You are not alone. At REACH we build real connections with real people walking through our door. Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing-especially the humor part-and combined together, they create a healing force! We know that sometimes, life is just hard. It can come out of nowhere, but know that counselling helps during the tough times. It helps us endure when we don’t think we can, helps us recover from what we’ve survived, teaches us how to gain insight about who we are and find our way back to "our normal" when we feel lost and alone. We are here for you.

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.
