Hello! I'm a Registered Psychologist who is passionate about helping children, adolescents, adults and couples be their best selves.

Together, we will develop customized goals that meet your needs, develop useful coping strategies, and create some forward momentum to help improve your quality of life.

I have had the privilege of working with a diverse clientele, ranging from adults and teens to adolescents and children. I offer child-parent and family sessions, a collaborative space to nurture understanding and connection from the earliest years. My practice is for those who find themselves wrestling with frustrating patterns, the complexities of trauma, grief, ADHD, anxiety, depression, existential questions, "stuckness" and everyday struggles that add up.

You may feel exhausted all of the time and overwhelmed with no time for you. You might have trouble sleeping and no longer feel like yourself anymore, but you don’t know why. You are tired of going through the motions and fear nothing will change. You experience conflict or a lack of closeness in your relationship. Your arguments go on and on without getting resolved leaving you feeling lonely and further apart. You feel hurt, or a sense of numbness about your relationship. You wonder if you’ll ever have a fulfilling relationship. You’ve had enough troubled relationships. You’re tired of hurting and struggling.

Your mind might be racing as you try to juggle all the responsibilities and hats you wear, or maybe your body is telling you about the impact anxiety is having on your life. You might be feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Maybe you're wondering if you'll ever feel fulfilled and peaceful with your identity. That's where we can come in to help you recover and find relief from past events, trauma, anxiety, stress, burnout, eating disorders, and depression. We are a team of therapists providing individual and relationship counselling locally in Airdrie, Alberta and virtually across Alberta.

Struggling with a traumatic event, mental health and/ or addictions can feel like drowning in unseen waves; the waves of grief, anxiety, anger, fear, trauma, relational concerns, transitions, or self-worth. We try to soothe ourselves by acting out on ourselves, and others or engaging in behaviours that harm us and those we love. I believe that we can hold fragility and resilience, courage and fear, uncertainty and hope. You can begin the process of rebuilding and reclaiming all while staying afloat. Together, we will begin to anticipate those waves coming and not get pulled under but rather negotiate them with resounding courage.

My ideal client is a child or youth with significant anxiety issues. They need a better understanding of what is going on in their heads and in their bodies. They want to feel less distress, and to be able to do the things that their anxiety is preventing them from doing. I'm not accepting new clients right now.

I work with children, youth, and adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, trauma, and ADHD using a variety of different approaches like EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and others. At the heart of my practice are areas where I've honed a particular expertise—supporting individuals grappling with burnout, taming tumultuous waves of anxiety, navigating the complexities of trauma, and understanding the multifaceted nature of ADHD. Each person presents a world rich with untold stories, and by working together, we uncover the stories that have held you back, helping to author a new chapter of empowerment and peace.
