Available both in-person and online

Nisku, AB T9E

I offer space where people can feel seen, supported and reconnected with themselves. I work with those who carry a lot, including people who often appear high-functioning while feeling overwhelmed or untethered beneath the surface. I meet clients where they are and foster space for reflection, clarity, and self-understanding to emerge. I bring both clinical training and lived experience to this work, especially in supporting trauma, anxiety, burnout, grief, and life transitions. My style is intuitive, collaborative, and respectful, with room for nuance and the occasional laugh.

I work with a variety of people, whether they’re holding it all together or feeling like they’re coming undone, including youth and teens facing emotional intensity or identity shifts. My approach is relational and collaborative. I offer presence, perspective, and a space for grounding. Theo (my gentle, intuitive canine co-therapist) is available by request.

My work is informed by both clinical training and the deeper lessons life has offered me. I hold space with care, humility, and respect for each person’s process.
