Taking that first step in seeking support for your child isn't easy. I'm here to provide a safe, welcoming, and confidential space for healing to begin. As a Certified Play Therapist and a Clinical Counsellor, my passion lies in working with children and supporting their natural capacity for healing.

INSIGHT & PRACTICE FOR CHANGE: I believe we all have the inherent ability to live a meaningful, satisfying, and connected life. At some point most people will become aware or begin to feel that they are somehow "off course", that "something needs to change" or that something new is desired. This realization is an opportunity to "adjust course", take stock, and intentionally re-align our lives. Sometimes small shifts can make incredible differences; other times we are called to dig deep. Whether you want to make personal, professional or relationship shifts, by reaching out to me you can trust that the change process has already started.

* Summer 2021: I am unable to take new clients at this time. I believe there is an innate strength in all of us; I also know that living a fulfilling and meaningful life can be a profoundly challenging task. If you are struggling with a life transition, depression, anxiety, or behaviors and emotions that aren't comfortable for you, counselling may be able to help you shift things. A therapist with compassion, empathy, and a base of knowledge about human behavior and psychology can be an extremely powerful agent in achieving change.

Life and change can be hard. I get it! I am an attachment based therapist who shows up with compassion, authenticity, acceptance, and humour. I work hard to create a space where you can feel safe to confront the tough stuff. Together, we will dig into what is getting in the way of you living your truth. Within this supportive environment, you can begin to take risks, explore possibilities, expand your self-awareness and find clarity as you move towards hope and healing.

Experienced Ph.D. level registered psychologist, practicing in Calgary since 1987. I enjoy helping motivated individuals and couples in therapy. I combine clinical training with personal authenticity and sensitivity to diversity and socialization influences on how we handle what we are facing. I work from the belief that effective therapy is collaborative and empowering, with therapist and clients working together to make positive changes towards the clients' goals. This may involve learning to self-soothe, anti-depressant behaviours, and homework between sessions. Good therapy builds on strengths and problem-solves vulnerabilities that are creating problems.

***I am currently accepting new clients for online therapy*** The ancient poet Rumi said “these pains you feel are messengers, listen to them”. We often turn away from our discomfort, without realizing the immense cost. Everything begins with the inner journey, and creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judging space, is essential to healing. My role as a therapist is to bring forth these qualities and hold the container; the ultimate aim is for you to have everything you need to meet whatever life will bring. I am here to support you on this path of discovery.

*NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS * “ I can’t seem to shut my brain off”, “Why do I feel so anxious all the time?”, “ I actually don’t feel anything, I’m numb”. If any of these statements resonate with you and you want to explore them further I might be of help! I am a people person that truly believes in the power of human connection and therefore place a great importance on the right fit between a therapist and a client. My work is very much based on a collaborative approach because “You” know “You” the best. It’s important to me that you will feel comfortable and safe to explore and address any issues you are struggling with.

Most of us were never taught how to identify and name our emotions, or how to stay present instead of getting stuck in the worries of the future or regrets of the past. We may find ourselves avoiding, distracting, or using less than helpful methods to cope. When we know how to change the changeable, or when to accept reality as it is, we can live differently and avoid the patterns we tend to fall back into. I specialize in teaching my clients ways to skillfully manage anxiety and emotional difficulties in a way that allows real change to occur

Loss, trauma, life changes, illness, or relational problems can cause difficulties that impact one's quality of life. Although time can sometimes help, meaningful resolution of problems and personal growth takes place within the context of a supportive relationship. Quality of life and contentment increase as the ability to process issues develops. I help my clients resolve emotional difficulties related to life circumstances and struggles with family, friends or co-workers. Building on current areas of strength and, when necessary, tackling new areas of competence we work together to rebuild or develop your sense of inner strength.

With years of experience supporting women with breast cancer, I am here to help you find a way forward through worry, anxiety, and fear. Our time together is about finding the therapy that works best for you. My approach to helping you is non-dogmatic and non-judgemental. Anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, interpersonal and relationship challenges, traumatic events, as well as grief and loss are some of the issues I have helped clients with and that I can help you with.

I work from a Mindfulness based approach to mental health and wellness. Whether you are seeking to reduce anxiety, manage stress or reconnect in your relationships, Mindfulness can be a valuable daily practice. Are you currently feeling stressed, worried or overwhelmed by life’s challenges? Are you feeling strain in your relationships or experiencing stress and uncertainty about the future? Do you feel overwhelmed by a seemingly endless to do list or that you are constantly rushing through life? Or perhaps you have ended a relationship and are feeling stuck or uncertain? Mindfulness can be a long lasting, effective path forward.

At some point or another, we’ve all experienced something that has changed our life! That’s why it’s important within my practice to develop a space where you feel safe and supported. I want to create a strong therapeutic alliance—one where you have a voice and a place to be your authentic self. Everyone has the capacity to be resilient and I want our sessions to foster this inner strength.

Does your life feel out of control or do you just feel stuck? Are you struggling with worry, stress or depression? Do you feel all alone and that no one else could possibly understand? Are your relationships an uphill battle? People in all walks of life and circumstances experience hardships and difficulties that affect the quality of their lives. I believe it is possible to overcome the effects of these difficulties, no matter how overwhelming they may seem in the present. Whether you come as an individual, a couple or a family, we can work together towards healing and wholeness.

We can become stuck in old patterns that get in the way of authentic connection with ourselves and others, keeping us from feeling peace and happiness. I am passionate about helping clients discover their capacity for growth and healing, and reaching their full potential. For 15 years, I have been counselling individuals and couples and specialize in stress management, relationship issues, grief & loss, personal growth, life transitions, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Using a holistic and collaborative approach, I will support you to skillfully navigate through the difficulties that life brings, and connect with your resiliency for emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

You find yourself in a midst of a life transition - a new baby, parenting a toddler or pre-teen, or just feeling overwhelmed with everything opening up again. You feel miserable and wonder if this is what it will be like forever. You are constantly worrying and feel on edge. Or you just don't feel anything - the good or the bad feelings. And the exhaustion is overwhelming. You struggle to connect with people around you, and sometimes wonder if they'd be better off without you. You don't want to see anyone or go anywhere. You're wondering if you'll be able to survive this phase of your life.
