Weekend, daytime and evening availability. Life can throw us curveballs or lead us to crossroads … moments of transition, uncertainty, or struggle where the next step isn’t clear. I would be honoured to support you. My focus is on meeting you where you are to help you connect with your values, believe in your strengths, know your weaknesses, and develop skills to navigate the current. I am empathetic yet direct and seek to provide a space for you to sit with your realities in a new way that is accompanied by my education, training, tools and relentless commitment to your goals.

What is therapy with me like? People describe me as being easy to talk to, patient, warm and someone who can weave together threads of what you share with tools and new skills in a way that feels helpful and empowering. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, which is sometimes deep, sometimes lighthearted, and always human.

Book a free 15-minute phone or video consultation (a "vibe check") via the clinic website to see if I might be a fit for you. I offer both in-person (Marda Loop) and secure online video therapy Alberta wide for individuals and couples.
