Therapists in V3C
I help people who are managing life - that may be a balance of work, relationships, parenting, health, and so much more - while quietly struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, or the feeling that you're just not good enough. I also have a special interest in supporting parents of young adults who feel stuck or where failure to launch is a concern. I want to hear your story and understand what is getting in the way. Together, we'll explore the patterns behind your struggles and build practical skills and strategies to help you feel better, grow your confidence, and move forward.

I work with executives, leaders, physicians, entrepreneurs, and other high‑achieving professionals who are under sustained pressure, facing burnout, or navigating major transitions. Many come to counselling when constant demands start affecting their sleep, mood, relationships, or sense of direction. I offer a calm, structured space to step back, make sense of what’s happening, and develop realistic ways to move forward with more clarity, resilience, and confidence in their decisions. I support clients across Edmonton, St. Albert, Calgary, and Alberta through in‑person and online sessions.

Research shows that the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the strongest predictors of meaningful change, and that is at the heart of what we do. At The Nook Counselling, we strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you feel heard, supported, and respectfully challenged. You might be struggling with overthinking, intrusive thoughts, stress, burnout, low mood, communication struggles, relationship dynamics, trauma, and the list goes on. We work with adults, teens (17+) and relationships. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you, and work toward your goal while honouring your unique story.

When we experience traumas or life stressors it can be not only overwhelming but also very isolating as it often feels like no one can understand what you are going through. Without having a space to explore and unpack these stressors in a meaningful way, we often turn those thoughts and feelings inwards, internalize our issues, and experience guilt and shame. This can also lead to negative interactions with our loved ones and can adversely impact our relationship with them. My focus is to help individuals grow from their struggles, heal from their pain and move forward to where they want to be in life so that they can thrive.

Lasting change doesn't come from trying harder. It comes from changing the conditions that keep old patterns alive. Many people arrive here after sincerely trying to live well: building insight, practicing mindfulness, following good advice, and doing what should help, and yet, the same cycles return. You’re not looking for quick fixes. You’re seeking calm that settles in the body, clarity that feels authentic, and change that reaches beyond the mind.

Life experiences can leave us feeling stressed, anxious, inadequate and even hopeless. At times we feel lost, as we struggle to navigate the pain and discomfort we are feeling and may be unsure of how to take steps forward. Counselling can be a place where we make space for the painful experiences of the past, our hopes for the future, and embracing all of who we are and hope to be. No matter what difficulty you are facing, there is hope in restoring what feels lost or broken and support for you as you process, heal, grow and find meaning.

Sometimes we’ve been wounded. We are bitter and end up in hard places. We are in relationships that have grown painful, disappointing, even hopeless. It seems there are insurmountable chasms, and we are stuck with nowhere to go. Sometimes the hard places consume all our joy, and we are simply numb. Our emotions have dried up, and we no longer feel. At other times, the hard places can trigger fear, desperation, or panic attacks.
