I am a Registered Psychologist, located in Tuscany (NW Calgary), with 17+ years of experience. I see children, adolescents, and adults with a specialty in anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma/PTSD. I work collaboratively with clients to understand what's bringing you in, clarify goals, and build on and add coping tools. I look forward to meeting and working with you :)
My primary approaches are: (1) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (reframing thoughts, increasing coping skills); (2) trauma-focused counselling (extensive training in trauma approaches including EMDR, Natural Processing, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Somatic Experiencing, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Bodynamics); and (3) play therapy for children.
I am a mother of 3 children (14 year old twins and a 7 year old). In my spare time, I like to dance, play volleyball, and practice yoga and meditation. Please email if you are interested in working with me :)
