Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, burnout, or past trauma? On the outside, life may look fine—but inside, something feels off. Whether you’re in Whitecourt, Edmonton, or elsewhere in Alberta, it can be hard to keep pushing through without support. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, sexuality-related concerns (with a particular focus on women), and life transitions. In Whitecourt and surrounding communities, I offer general counselling support—stress management, grief, depression, and relationship issues. In Edmonton, my work is more focused on anxiety, PTSD, and trauma recovery.
My approach is holistic & body-centered, combining Somatic Experiencing, Clinical Hypnosis, and talk therapy. Sessions are honest, warm, and grounded in curiosity and transparency. Together, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck, work with the body’s innate wisdom, and help you feel more at ease, present, and connected to a deeper sense of calm and clarity.
I know how powerful therapy can be—both personally and professionally—and I bring that belief into the work we do together. Let’s talk: I offer a free 15‑minute consultation to see if my approach feels like a fit. I work in‑person in both Whitecourt and Edmonton, and online across Alberta. Sliding scale and direct billing options available. NIHB-approved.
