We all seek certainty, well-being, and secure relationships, yet life’s challenges can disrupt them. I provide specialized treatment for trauma, attachment injuries, and mood disorders by exploring root causes, past experiences, relational patterns, and unhelpful narratives. I support individuals who feel stuck despite their best efforts and are seeking meaningful change. My approach integrates self-discovery with trauma-informed, attachment-focused work to process emotional distress and build deeper insight. I offer empathy while gently asking thoughtful, challenging questions to support growth, healing, and lasting change.
Trainings: Emotionally Focused Therapy (for individuals and couples), EMDR trauma treatment, Narrative theory, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Solutions-Focused Therapy, and Synergetic Play Therapy.
Available direct billing: NIHB, Telus Health, Alberta Blue Cross.
