Hi! Let’s take a deep breath: you’ve made it past the first step of identifying you need some help. In a world that is often too loud and busy, it is easy to fall into thought patterns that you are lacking; as a therapist, it is my role to help you shift that narrative from deficit to plenty. I believe mental health is fluid experience and that understanding your emotions and building meaningful coping strategies is key to sustainable resilience. My role is to create a safe and empathetic space for you to be vulnerable and show up as your authentic self. My practice style is grounded in attachment-based and family systems theory.

Have you lost your sense of self? Are you feeling stressed or burnt out? Are you in survival mode? Are you tired and need to talk to someone who can listen without judgment? Do you think your relationships and day-to-day functions have been affected? Are you feeling exhausted and lost by the demands of our fast-paced modern lifestyle? Do you wonder if life could be different? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed about finding the balance they need to thrive.

I work primarily with adults who are interested in gaining insight into their behaviours and making changes in their life. Learning to understand our thoughts and feelings gives us the opportunity to do something different than what we have always done. These changes might include working on self-esteem issues, relationship issues, depression/anxiety, addiction, life transitions, or parenting struggles.

Mental, emotional, social and behavioural disorders in childhood/adolescence can cause long-term problems that may affect the health and well-being of young people and families. Treating mental health problems as soon as possible can help children reduce problems at home, in school and in forming friendships. "When it comes to your kids, you are aiming a lot higher than mere survival…your ultimate goal is to raise kids in a way that lets them thrive. You want them to enjoy meaningful relationships, be caring and compassionate, do well in school, work hard and be responsible, and to feel good about who they are." - Daniel J.

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.

Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
