I have worked hard to learn and understand developmental disabilities such as autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, etc…so that I can provide support that encompasses the unique challenges that come with every family.
Born and raised in Alberta, I’ve learned that nothing is ever as it seems. We can experience spring, summer, fall, and winter all in one day! Alberta has definitely taught me to be flexible and to look for the individual strengths in people. I’ve dedicated my life to learning about developmental disabilities. I use a SCERTS model mixed with CBT and play based interventions. I like to be flexible, using a client centered approach, because I’ve found that even though two people can go through the “same” situation the way they process it is unique to them. I work towards establishing emotional regulation tools that work for the family

I am also able to complete psycho-educational and parenting assessments, including intelligence, achievement testing, full assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorder, and behavioural assessments.
In my work, I have been able to support my clients through depression, anxiety, emotional struggles, and post traumatic stress. I thoroughly enjoy working with adolescents and adults through all life stages and situations. I work primarily from a client centered perspective, meaning I believe that all people, regardless of their circumstances, have the ability within themselves to heal if given the proper tools and guidance. Attachment drives my clinical work, and I believe that healing happens in relationship both internally and within external relationships. I am also trained in the EMDR modality and DBT.

Hi! I'm glad you're here. Speaking from experience, I know asking for help and prioritizing your mental health is hard. Facing the difficult aspects of your life is scary and it's easier to stay in the same patterns that have helped you survive. If you find those patterns aren’t working for you anymore, it could be worth it to take that leap and reach out- and I'd love to take that step with you! I work with LGBTQIA+ community members and individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, trauma, and relationship issues. I am also trained to assess for and diagnose/treat ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I have a special interest in working with those who have experienced (or who will experience) the death of someone they love, and I also particularly enjoy working with queer, trans+, and gender-creative young people.

I work with individuals, couples and families to anchor them in their deep values and truths, establishing with them a way to success, whether suffering from interpersonal discord; burdened by ADHD, autism, addictions, or PD’s; frustrated by anxiety and anger; demoralized by depression, trauma and PTSD; or hopeless because of grief, or loss of identity.
Tired of fighting with life? Feeling drained of energy, demoralized and running out of options? Are you sabotaging yourself? Frustration and confusion can lead to hopelessness and fear. You can’t stay connected to the good life, others, or even yourself… This is a horrible place to be! But you don’t have to live here. What you need is someone with experience and skill to come alongside you, in acceptance, bringing clarity – illuminating reasons why this has happened to you; all of which brings safety, hope, and direction to your life. I was once in you place but now I’m not. There is a roadmap to get you out of here. I can help you.

Food is so much more than fuel. Food is a way we express love, appreciation, and empathy. Food provides comfort and sparks conversation. It ties us to our memories, our cultures, and our family. So, when we are struggling with eating, we are missing out on more than nutrients, we are missing out on opportunities for connection. This connection goes both ways. When our child is struggling to eat, we as a family are missing out on the opportunity to connect and enjoy each other. My role is to support you and your family regain this connection through psychotherapy and feeding therapy.

Are you a "big feeler"? Have you always been considered emotional or sensitive? Big feelers are often filled with worries about the future and overwhelmed by the present. You might spend a lot of time dealing with racing thoughts and fears. It's difficult to feel like you're living a secret life where no one knows how much you struggle. You might even feel like no one really knows you. You might wish you could just turn your brain off for a while and not feel so deeply impacted by everything.
