In my role, I enjoy working with children, youth, teens, and adults. I spent almost two decades working in schools and am confident in supporting families and dependents on school-related concerns, academics, and learning needs. Not only do I specialize in school-aged children, but have begun seeing adults, couples and families, and offer an approach that is grounded in compassion, understanding, and genuineness. I believe in working as an alliance and check-in throughout treatment to ensure we are is meeting the goals of the client.

Grief is a deeply painful, lonely, and isolating experience. When someone we care about dies, our relationship ends in divorce, or we experience any of the other 40 forms of loss, we often feel unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with our emotions. The wonderful news is, grief does not have to be a life sentence of suffering. There are actionable tools that can help you to move beyond the pain caused by a loss in your life. Whether you are grieving due to a recent loss or a loss from long ago, it is never too soon or too late to heal your heart.

Our team at Psychological Outreach Services offers specialized psychological assessment and counselling services to school-aged children as well as adults. Besides registered psychologists, our team provides speech and language services as well as occupational therapy assessments. We are committed to helping our clients cope with life challenges and overcome a variety of socio-emotional, behavioural, and academic difficulties.

My clients are seeking help for a variety of issues. I do not limit my practice to one area because I believe that bigger issues are a combination of many smaller ones. Together, we can find the root cause of your symptoms and focus on coping skills and self-regulation tools to feel better.

Sliding scale available! My approach is to build a container of safety, compassion, and empowerment, in which we can work together to holistically digest challenging experiences, honour your internal wisdom, develop personalized skill sets and goals, re-write narratives that no longer serve you, and expand windows of comfortability so that you can live your most meaningful life. Utilizing an integrative lens, my practice draws from training in attachment, psychodynamic, narrative, somatic, and parts-based therapy (IFS and Jungian informed) to provide care that is nuanced, creative, and scientifically-informed.

I specialize in working with men - men who are going through a life transition (job loss, new job, marriage, divorce, relationship concerns, new business venture, journey of self discovery, and so on), men who sometimes struggle to speak their truth, men who want to better reconcile work with family or work with relationship. In short, I help men live from a place of greater wholeness and connectedness to Self.

Hi there! I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist offering services in person in Edmonton and virtually across Alberta.

I utilize a fully equipped Play Therapy room at Reframed Psychological (north Edmonton), and Sagacious Counselling (south Edmonton).

I practice counselling from a strength-based, client-centre perspective. I honor clients' experiences and together we form collaborative relationships to identify healthy coping, and solution-oriented pathways towards clients' goals. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify maladaptive, intrusive thoughts to form adaptive self-concepts. Furthermore, I thoughtfully incorporate Eye Movement Desentization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to work with traumatic life events and emotionally freedom techniques to ground and process strong emotions. I am trained in Play Therapy to work with children and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to work with couples. I am also Pride certified to work with sexual and gender minority individuals.

I see healing as a holistic, sacred process, deserving honour and witness. I value genuine relationships, while inviting humour into the process.

Loss is a universal experience. However, many of us are ill prepared to deal with the conflicting mass of emotions we call grief. While the emotional incompleteness can have a lifelong, cumulatively negative impact on our capacity for happiness, it doesn't have to. The Grief Recovery Method provides the correct action choices that help people move beyond the pain, isolation, and loneliness caused by loss of any kind. I strive to provide a safe space within which you as a client can make these choices and move toward healing and recovery.

I have always had a deep-rooted passion for helping people understand the best ways to help themselves. I believe we all have our own inner strengths to overcome our obstacles, but it can be troubling when the solution isn’t easy to find. This is where therapy becomes beneficial. There is nobody who knows you better than you, so I will work collaboratively with you to help you find the best way to start feeling better. My therapeutic approach draws from different theoretical backgrounds that are tailored to the uniqueness of each individual.

My belief about therapy resonates with a quote from Edith Eger, who said, "when you change your life, it isn’t to become the new you. It’s to become the real you—the one-of-a-kind diamond that will never exist again and can never be replaced." I believe that inner peace can be achieved when we identify our goals and shed patterns and beliefs that do not serve us anymore. My clients describe me as safe, authentic, direct, and passionate. I am a great fit for anyone who enjoys having a therapist that brings genuineness and care to the conversation while infusing humour at every appropriate moment.
