My ideal clients are adolescents, adults, and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, often after long periods of stress, responsibility, or adversity. Many are first responders, military members, men, or professionals who are used to coping on their own, but now find trauma, anxiety, burnout, depression, or relationship strain affecting their school, work, health, or relationships. They are seeking more than short-term relief, they want clarity, stability, and meaningful, sustainable change that helps them feel more grounded, connected, and capable in their lives.
I am a Registered Psychologist in BC and Alberta, offering evidence-based therapy for adolescents, adults, and couples. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, including work with first responders and military members, relationships, stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, and life transitions. My approach is practical, collaborative, and focuses on lasting change.
Reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially if you or your family are used to managing things on your own. Therapy doesn’t have to mean reliving everything or being “fixed.” It can be a steady, respectful process of understanding what’s happening to finding better ways forward. I want to work with you to achieve your goals in a way that works!
