Whether facing challenges or striving for personal growth, seeking support is a sign of strength. I view the counselling process as a collaboration between client and therapist to construct an achievable path to meet individualized needs. The importance of recognizing and utilizing personal strengths to achieve goals is a key to success. Over the last 20 years, I have gained experience working with adolescents and their families in Corrections and in Calgary area high schools. As a therapist, I help individuals and families identify challenges, foster healthy communication, promote understanding, and strengthen relationship bonds.

Life comes with its challenges. The pain of past regrets, future anxieties, and an overwhelming present can often overshadow opportunities for engagement, connection, and meaningful experiences in the here and now. Amidst it all, I believe there is an inherent potential for you to thrive in meaningful and authentic relationships—with yourself, your loved ones, and the world around you. Despite the struggles you may face, I firmly believe in your ability to make choices that prioritize your well-being so you can build a rich and fulfilling life.

I believe that our mind, body and spirit hold the key to our emotional wellbeing. Somewhere along the way into adulthood, this connection between the head, the heart, and the body falter and begin to cause us distress. People lose the ability to "trust their gut" or are unable to identify what they are feeling during particular times of loss or conflict. My approach aims to identify where the disconnect is, and work collaboratively to bring all three back into focus. It is said "the longest journey you will ever make is from your head to your heart" and my goal is to support people as they take the steps needed to get there.

As a therapist, one of my passions is working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, anger, relationship issues, and suicidal ideation.

However, my main focus is building a strong therapeutic relationship that will help you feel safe, heard, and understood.
