I am a registered social worker in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia with nearly 30 years of healthcare experience. I specialize in supporting individuals with mild to moderate anxiety, depression, prenatal/postpartum mental health, chronic illness and trauma. I also focus on helping front-line workers who’ve experienced workplace trauma or burnout. With my healthcare background, I understand the profound impact of work-related stress and trauma on mental health and bring a unique perspective to supporting those facing these challenges. I look forward to meeting you.

I believe anxiety and depression should be normalized, and helping people develop tools to manage these are key to healthy functioning. My approach is trauma-informed, with a strong emphasis on somatic work, empowerment, and utilizing natural supports. I’m trained in CBT and EMDR, offering evidence-based strategies to promote healing and resilience.

With over 30 years of healthcare experience, I’ve supported clients from diverse socio-economic, cultural, and gender backgrounds. I recognize that people cope with adversity in unique ways and work closely with each client to understand their needs, developing a personalized treatment plan that aligns with their individual strengths and goals.

I have a special focus on supporting front-line workers dealing with trauma. There's a saying, "Generational trauma heals when someone is brave enough to face it," and you don't have to do that alone. Mental health is closely tied to physical health, and many of my clients notice improvements in their mood after just one session. I'd love to help you on your journey to healing.
