I am a registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists and a member of the Psychologists Association of Alberta. I have worked in private practice, public healthcare and educational settings in multiple countries. I have more than fifteen years of clinical experience working with diverse adults and youth.

My goal is to help every client thrive emotionally, psychologically, and intellectually. I am equally as interested to hear a client’s story of trauma, loss, regret, loneliness, and difficult family dynamics, as I am to listen about times filled with purpose, hope, and happiness. I pay close attention to what is said, in addition to what is left unsaid, to uncover patterns of core beliefs.

Do you ask yourself “what’s the point”, feel exhausted, stuck, alone, overwhelmed, stressed, isolated or withdrawn? Do you think to yourself, I’m not in control, not good enough, or I'm a failure? Do you lack focus & concentration or have a loss of interest or pleasure in life? Do memories of your childhood, a recent loss, or an accident interfering in your activities of daily living? If you connected to any of the above and are looking for something different, better, or more, we can work together to create a treatment plan offering you hope, to help guide you, and support you in having a more functioning, healthier & happier life.

Life doesn't unfold neatly; neither does healing. The complexities that life throws at you can feel very overwhelming. Yet these experiences, though challenging, are also avenues for positive change. Together we will not only explore these aspects but also unravel your strength and resilience that often remain hidden beneath the surface. Through your journey I aim to not only help you find relief from pain; but also to empower you to transform these challenges into stepping stones toward a brighter future, and a more Authentic YOU! I promise to provide a safe space where you feel accepted, heard, respected, supported and understood.

From time to time everyone experiences periods of conflict, stress, anxiety, grief, and sadness; and we know how hard life can be! Feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed with these emotions, and noticing limitations in our abilities to function may indicate we need to talk to a professional! While trained in multiple therapy modalities such as Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, EFT and others; I combine and tailor these for a collaborative, strength-based, and personalized experience within an interactive approach.

You are not alone. At REACH we build real connections with real people walking through our door. Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing-especially the humor part-and combined together, they create a healing force! We know that sometimes, life is just hard. It can come out of nowhere, but know that counselling helps during the tough times. It helps us endure when we don’t think we can, helps us recover from what we’ve survived, teaches us how to gain insight about who we are and find our way back to "our normal" when we feel lost and alone. We are here for you.

Are past or current experiences holding you back from living life to the fullest? Stressful life events, traumatic experiences, and relationship issues can leave unresolved negative feelings that keep you stuck in dysfunctional patterns of belief and behaviour. Working through these challenges is not easy, but doing so brings meaning to life; I offer a safe and compassionate space for you to do so. I also conduct comprehensive assessments, testing, and evaluations for children, adults, veterans, and others.

My ideal client (Adult, Single, Relationships) is totally focused on understanding themselves as a wholly formed authentic person. You may be ready to heal from your past traumas and to evolve into the person you were always meant to be. I assist you to understand your boundaries and learn how to practice them in relationships. You want to understand the Drama Triangles and your own role in in it. I call this learning how to practice authenticity, which is about becoming the most authentic version of yourself. I can help you with that.

I do not believe in pathologizing one due to their diagnoses, symptoms, or problems. As such, I offer a no commitment discussion to explore if I am someone who could appropriately support you.

It isn’t necessary to stay stuck (or alone) in painful situations or challenging circumstances. Therapy/counselling provides an opportunity to uncover and discover new understandings, strengths and resiliencies in self (and others). Therapy provides a safe space to develop action plans to explore difficult life and relationship (couple, family/parenting, separation) issues or work/career concerns. Therapy also provides a safe space to explore and develop skills in managing mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, OCD, ODD, etc. No problem is too big for therapy. Clinical Supervision is also available.
