My clients say I am a safe place. I like to focus on helping clients who find themselves repeating protective patterns in response to stress, trauma, relationship challenges, or grief. I help individuals and couples find balance and embrace a more meaningful life. The more we can understand the stuck place, the more we can move towards lasting change. My approach is grounded, emotionally attuned, and backed by modalities like EFT, IFS, and ACT. I offer a safe space and a steady presence, allowing you to explore your inner world, reconnect with your emotions, and start showing up differently—in your relationships and in yourself.
I am a registered psychologist in the province of Alberta. I focus on relationship pattern modification, trauma healing, anxiety management, and the grief that comes with life transitions. Trained in EFT, IFS, ACT, the Gottman Method, & Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), I focus on supporting growth from the foundation of a safe counselling relationship.
I create an environment of acceptance and warmth, which are key ingredients for change. “We are only as needy as our unmet needs." - John Bowlby "The most functional way to regulate difficult emotions in relationships...is to share them” - Sue Johnson New clients are welcome to take advantage of a free 20-minute phone consultation.
