Racial Identity Therapists in T6H

My passion and experience is supporting children, youth and adults from diverse backgrounds including First Nation communities. I bring a wealth of international experience in the field of trauma informed mental health interventions with different cultures. I have worked and trained in various parts of the world including the United Kingdom, Southern Africa and Canada.

I am a Registered Psychologist and have been supporting children, teens and adults in a few positions over 15 years. With this experience, I have grown a love of supporting clients that have experienced perinatal grief and mood disorders and parenting struggles/transitions, in addition to other concerns such as grief, relationship issues, and depression, anxiety and stress. My clients can expect empathy with a dose of practicality, humour and honesty. My passion is attachment-focused parenting. I understand that parenting is the most important/difficult job out there, it is my honour to help.

Many people struggle with confidence and are unable to fulfill their goals for relationships, work, and personal fulfillment. Understanding how your core values and beliefs impact aspects of your life such as work, relationships, and overall fulfillment can give you the power to overcome these struggles. Through learning to accept and love yourself fully you can move past shame that is likely impacting how you feel and behave. Through awareness of your power to change the meaning you give to events within your childhood, you can become free from limiting beliefs.

I am a psychologist with over 10 years of training in counselling psychology and a decade of clinical experience. I work with individuals, couples, and families in managing a variety of different concerns and difficulties; including, trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal challenges, self-esteem, perfectionism, family-of-origin difficulties, relationship problems, and identity development. I work collaboratively with my clients and provide emotional, and spiritual safety, by seeking to understand each client's personal experiences, beliefs, and worldview.
