"When is it time to seek a therapist? There is no hard and fast rule; however, if you are having recurring worries, personal or interpersonal problems, or difficulty managing in other important areas of life, and the way through is elusive – I can help. I believe it is possible to develop constructive approaches to life challenges that foster resilience, reduce stress, and strengthen coping skills to result in a life of intention rather than reaction, that is heartfelt instead of numb, and the ability to move from confusion to self-awareness. "

"We all need support with managing the roller coaster of life. Having an empathic, respectful, safe client-therapist relationship is the key to therapeutic success. I believe that clients bring their own expertise to the therapeutic process, and view counselling as a collaboration. I value my client's wisdom, experience, and insight. I use a variety of counselling approaches in my clinical work, always adjusting to each person's needs. I support clients in reaching their goals by building on their strengths and resiliency, teaching practical skills and strategies, increasing self-awareness and understanding, and improving overall coping and wellness."

"Concise, understanding and determined to help, I approach counselling in a manner that helps you to re-position yourself from the conditions causing distress. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, I can help you understand how your thoughts and perceptions about your experiences influence your feelings / moods / emotions and in turn, your behaviours / actions. People typically resort to problematic behaviour when attaching to negative or distressed thoughts and feelings. The result is that the problematic behaviour then generates more distressed thoughts and feelings! CBT and my desire to help can assist with generating relief and a more enjoyable life!"

"Welcome! Having been one of the first in Calgary to be certified in sex addiction therapy, the bulk of my practice consists of individuals and couples in various stages of sex and other addiction recovery. Do you need help in the struggle to remain sober? Would you benefit from guidance in the formulation and maintenance of an effective recovery plan? Do you need a compassionate listener as you make sense of the trauma of discovery? My goal is to promote awareness of your emotional life; to help you establish and negotiate appropriate boundaries; and to enhance trust in all your relationships."

"Learning about yourself is an enlightening and interesting process. Finding a therapist that is competent and capable to join you on your therapeutic journey can be difficult. Why? Some therapists don’t know how to join you where you’re at (i.e., sit silently across from you staring at you) and others want you to join them in their process (i.e., putting you in a box that they are comfortable working in, instead of taking their cues from you). "

"Does your anxiery, depression, weight concern, or emotions paralyze you? Much of the current research, including my own, shows that it's often in the on-going attempts to rid ourselves of "symptoms" that actually intensifies the problem. Often times it is these "avoidance" strategies that are largely responsible for keeping us trapped in an ongoing cycle of increased psychological suffering. Our anxiety, worry, unease and fears result in our living too much in the past or future. Through mindfulness and values-based living, we can work together to help you live a more authentic and present life."
