In a society bombarded by messaging that constantly encourages the pursuit of happiness through self-actualization, it’s no wonder people find themselves stuck in the cycle of pursuing self-growth and happiness and are often left feeling disappointed, anxious, and disheartened. Our brain is wired for survival, and sometimes, we need to remind ourselves that we don’t just want to survive, we want to LIVE.

Life is beautiful and unique, and it can sometimes have its challenges. It is a journey, and as one of my favourite authors, Brene Brown, would say, "The middle is messy, but it is also where the magic happens." I work from a person-centered perspective where you are the expert in your own life, and my goal is to walk alongside your journey as you navigate your path by building a trusting therapeutic relationship and holding a space for you.

I have been a registered psychologist for nearly 40 years. I have been part of the healing journeys for individuals of all ages (child to seniors), couples and families. I don't know if I have an ideal client other than someone who is open to sharing the story of their life and developing resiliency in some way. With children and youth, they have a special place given their vulnerability and yet wonderful creativity.

Grief is a natural and unique experience. Hello! I am a holistic grief specialist. I am not your typical talk counsellor. I help adult Albertan’s connect to their mind, body, spirit and life again after a death, loss or life change. Grief is unique in how each person experiences it. Grief can be chaotic, overwhelming, isolating and sometimes leaving you feeling you have no control of your mind, body and life. Having both personal and professional experience with death, loss and unpredictable changes, allows me to be thoughtful about the importance of creating a safe space to share your raw emotions, thoughts and story of loss.

Are you looking for a helping hand through divorce, or other trauma, or are you struggling with feelings of uncertainty, general unhappiness, depression, or lower than ideal self-esteem? Together, we can look at strengths, look at what is not going the way you would like it to go, and strategize a plan for making things better. If you have experienced trauma - whether from a car accident, an assault, or abuse as a child, then I definitely have skills in helping to reduce ongoing negative effects of these experiences, primarily using a technique called EMDR, as well as other strategies.

Life is messy and there is no one solution that works in all situations. I work with children and families to address and meet their needs—wherever they are at along their unique journey. In my practice, I work with children (5-17 years old) and their families, providing either individual or family therapy. Common presenting themes, include: parent-children relationship concerns, intergenerational trauma, violence/aggression, and emotional/behavioural dysregulation. Common goals may include: increased communication skills, safety planning, psycho-education, and coping strategies.

Collectively, our mental health has never been a bigger priority than now. For many of us, our foundation of coping has been shaken to the core. We are trying to find ways of navigating through difficult emotions, sensations, urges, thoughts and relationship issues that may be bubbling up and overflowing on the surface. With these difficulties, we might find ourselves coping in extremes, like a swinging pendulum: either trying to over-control our situation, or, perhaps, losing control entirely. I would love to support you in resolving these difficulties, slowing down the pendulum, and hopefully finding a 'middle path'.
