Feeling stuck because of constant struggles and stress from work, relationships and family is exhausting. From work to sleep to relationships, joy is missing. You might feel burned out and alone. You might have tried other resources and found they aren't working. Here’s where I come in.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate place to come alongside you, develop a personalized plan so you can become unstuck and flourish.

When you are looking for a therapist, one of the most important things aside from training and approaches used is the personality fit! Over the years as a Psychologist, I have learned that you can be good at working in many areas, but you can only be great at some! For that reason, I decided to gather a team of therapists whom I trust and that have unique skill sets and varying personality styles to choose from.

I understand that seeking therapy can be a challenging step, especially when you've felt unable to be your authentic self. If you find yourself at a point where the weight of life's challenges feels overwhelming, or if you're navigating the complexities of identity, changes in life, relationships, or expectations, I am here to support you. My goal is to facilitate your journey of self-discovery and to empower you with insight into what brings you here.

I am dedicated to helping people find ways of being in the world that are meaningful and fulfilling to them.

I am a Registered Psychologist in Alberta and Ontario. I offer online and in-person sessions. I am also a Divorce Mediator and provide Marital Mediation services. I teach in the Psychology department at Mount Royal University (MRU). I work with people who need guidance to redesign their relationship, work through a crisis or are transitioning into a co-parenting relationship with their spouse.

One of the most common challenges in developing a relationship is finding a way to become closer to your partner without sacrificing your own individuality. It’s worth noting that 69% of all arguments in a relationship stem from differences between the two individuals involved, such as conflicting desires, needs, upbringings, values, priorities, and perspectives. There are always three perspectives in a relationship: yours, your partner’s and the one when both perspectives can sit side by side. Common sources of relationship stress include lack of communication, unmet expectations, difficulty resolving issues, and lack of intimacy.

Calm, confidence and meaningful connection to others. These are the things we lose when anxiety, trauma, loss, depression, or negative relationships take hold of our lives. I have been honoured to support clients over the past 20 years to heal difficult experiences, restore their natural sense of basic goodness and to find satisfaction in their lives and relationships, both at home and work.

Please note, as of September 15, 2023 I have moved to Suite 502, 933 17th Ave. S.W., Calgary AB T2T 5R6. Relationships have different seasons and cycles. Challenges can arise however when great sex (or any intimacy at all) is a distant memory, communication becomes stuck, and a feeling of closeness is longed for again. These are all signs that a different approach is needed to end the frustration and created a renewed aliveness. The desire for intimacy, to feel connected, and to matter are key aspects of who we are as human beings.

I have a passion working with individuals, couples and families with children of all ages and stages. Every person has a need to feel heard, seen, and capable. Therapy can be a benefit when you feel previous coping methods may have become exhausted or no longer work the way they did. This is when a fresh lens can lead to a new perspective and inspired action. Mental health matters, and I invite you to make it a priority in your life and the lives of your loved ones.

Are you feeling alone and misunderstood? You may be very tired, carrying emotional material that has built up over time. You may believe that you must carry this alone, but you don't need to. Life occasionally throws us off balance, leading to periods when we are unsure of ourselves. When these moments hit, we yearn for extra support to find our way back to our true selves and rediscover our equilibrium and strengths. I would love to be that support for you, working alongside you as we learn more about what is meaningful to you.

Are you feeling disappointed, lonely, or even hopeless about your life situation or your relationships? Disconnection, stress, misunderstandings, boundary issues, or faltering trust in yourself or your partner are painful experiences to endure alone. You may feel lost, worried, or overwhelmed. Regardless of where you are at right now there is always hope. Even the most distressed individuals and damaged relationships can heal. Just imagine how much more fulfilling your life or relationship might be if you felt more loved and cared for by yourself and/or your partner.

We will collaborate on goals and tap into your innate strengths in a safe and non-judgmental environment for change to occur.
