"Over 30 years, I have the privilege of talking to, listening to, walking with and praying for women & couples who struggle with their family, marital, and interpersonal relationships. In 2002, I graduated with a MA in counselling. Since then I have been counselling formally in the Calgary area. I love to help women to reconnect with God in their spiritual struggles. I have journeyed with many women who experience domestic abuse. The vicious cycle has kept many in terrifying living situations. I also enjoy working with couples who love each other but have a hard time getting along."

"My background is in systems theory; the idea that everyone is connected to those around them, with influence between all those people, organizations, and cultures. My approach to therapy is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but I also see a need for insight into the meaning that we make/have made of things and how that impacts our present. Therapy then, involves opening space for a person to increase awareness of their own process and to see alternative perspectives, thereby empowered to make different life decisions. It is so exciting to see someone realize that they have the power to change their perspective and their life!"

"My clients come see with a wide range of challenges and concerns, from wanting to gain more understanding or compassion for themselves, relationship concerns, stress and anxiety, life transitions, and to gain a greater sense of personal meaning and fulfillment. My clients are open to exploring these with me in a mindful way that allows new insights and understandings to unfold, new information to arise of what old patterns may be standing in your way, and what strengths and resilience factors you already possess to help you find a sense of more peace, joy, connection and meaning in your life."

"I am a professional therapist with over 20 years experience counselling couples, individuals, and families with relationship and personal issues, as well as supervising therapists and facilitating retreats. I truly enjoy helping couples reconnect and bring back the passion in their marriage. I also love helping clients meet their own individual goals such as increased self esteem, stress management and overcoming depression, along with many others. I seek to offer a compassionate approach and sensitivity to your issues, so that you can feel understood without judgement, and also use the latest training to help therapy be as effective as possible."

"If you have suffered from trauma, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, or a physical disability, life may seem like an uphill battle at times.

"You're struggling. Perhaps you can't sleep anymore, or you are seeking comfort in all the wrong places. Maybe you're depressed, finding it difficult to get out of bed and come out from under a cloud of ever-present despair. Perhaps you are drinking too much, or addicted to drugs. Maybe you're anxious - heart pounding, sweaty, obsessive over simple tasks. You might even just be tired, withdrawn, sure that there is more to life but not sure what to do about it. "
