Life can be difficult. Trying to address these difficulties ourselves may feel overwhelming. I support the individuals I meet by working collaboratively with them in a non-judgmental, supportive environment where goals can be established, and movement towards positive change can occur regardless of where one might be in the change process. I believe in highlighting strengths, and empowering clients to achieve therapy goals. I respect how each person's needs within therapy are unique, so a primary focus of mine is the development of a meaningful therapeutic relationship so I can clearly understand and support those unique needs.
I have specialized training in Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure for trauma and PTSD and extensive training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for depression, anxiety, and a number of other concerns (relationship/interpersonal, occupational stress, life transitions, grief, etc), in addition to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and ART.
I have diverse experience working with a variety of clientele, including first responders (Edmonton Police/Fire, RCMP) and their families, Veterans, and 15 years working specifically with serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces at the GMH/Operational Trauma and Stress Support Centre. I look forward to connecting with you as you work towards wellness.
