Let's Connect (587) 742-2634

I help people find healthier ways of coping with life’s stress, change bad habits, and recover from life’s challenges. We'll explore, with curiosity, what purpose your habits might serve or used to serve. Then, from a place of understanding, we can discuss how to meet those same needs in ways that are better for you and your lifestyle now. I gained this experience working for 10-years with people in recovery from trauma, addiction, and mental illness and I believe that change is possible for anyone. But it's not easy to do on your own; I'm here to help.

I know that life is busy! That's why I offer appointment times on Saturday mornings (in-person or online) and on Wednesday evenings (online). That's also why I offer virtual appointments, so you don't also need to schedule in travel time for your session if you don't want to. And, I've set up my website so that you can see my availability and book directly.

Research shows that the biggest predictor of your success in therapy is the strength of the working relationship between you and your chosen therapist. So, meet me! Meet a few people. And pick the person who you feel is going to be the best fit for you. You can call, email, or book a free online consultation on my website. I hope to hear from you!

I work with clients who are coping with life's stresses in ways that are no longer working for them. We'll get curious to understand what purpose those coping strategies served or what need they met, what triggers those habits, and what it is about them that still (sort of) works. This will give us the information we need to implement new coping strategies, to meet your needs in healthier ways.
