I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor dedicated to helping individuals on their path to well-being, with the goal of helping each client thrive socially, emotionally, psychologically, and intellectually. I bring a passion for helping others navigate life’s challenges and uncovering their inherent and inner strengths. My previous experience providing mental health services to diverse clientele across the province of Alberta has shown me the importance of acknowledging each client’s distinctive journey. Psychotherapy is not always an easy undertaking, and I believe that it should honor both your dignity and humanity.

I am a compassionate and non-judgmental Registered Provisional Psychologist with over 12 years of experience. In therapy, clients are able to set achievable goals by discussing their personal issues along with the challenging and complex circumstances they are struggling with. Together, we work towards these goals using an integrative approach that combines Cognitive-Behavioural, Acceptance & Commitment, Dialectical Behavioural Therapies, and Clinical Hypnotherapy.

I enjoy working with clients with a variety of intersecting identities, and particularly love working with women. Our culture downplays and undervalue women's health and emotional well-being, despite their important roles in our society! Women come to therapy with unique issues, experiences, and needs including stress and burnout, relationship challenges, caregiver fatigue, anxiety, depression, and trauma. These issues are often rooted in cultural and relational narratives that may not align with their values. Together we can evaluate these narratives and work toward a better understanding of identity and agency.

I believe that my clients and I are a team, collaboratively working together to achieve the goals that are important to them.

You are not alone. At REACH we build real connections with real people walking through our door.

My main goal is to provide a warm, accepting and nurturing environment in which my clients can explore their vulnerable places and grow from them. Often our life circumstances, or even those of our parents and grand-parents, have led us to mistaken beliefs about ourselves, our worth, and our place in life. When we examine these beliefs in a realistic and compassionate manner, we find ways to change that we never believed were possible for us. I have witnessed many such changes over the years, and I believe that a full and happy life is possible for all of us.

Are you someone who knows how you want to eat and how you want to eat but get stuck somewhere between what you want to put into your mouth and what you actually put into your mouth? Do you see your relationship to food as an emotional expression of what is going on inside of you? I support my clients in getting in touch with their physical hunger cues and then the emotional, spiritual hungers that arise as a result. I have been there. I've done retreats on my eating and my thesis on how we use our body to express internal struggles. There is a you waiting to get out to stand tall and shine. Food & eating can actually be the way out.

Imagine if your relationships could be a source of joy & comfort, rather than stress & heartache. What a relief that would be. I can help you get there. Maybe you & your partner are struggling; stuck in old patterns with poor communication, feeling disconnected & wanting more intimacy. Maybe you're dealing with infidelity or another kind of betrayal. Maybe you're having difficulty relating to family members or friends - unresolved tension with parents, conflict with your kids, or feeling like you can't be your self around others. Perhaps you're feeling stressed out, anxious, lonely, and you want to stop being so hard on yourself.

In my practice I see a wide range of clients: adults, teens, children, adults who have experienced developmental traumas [sexual, physical & emotional abuse] (often in the context of their own dysfunctional family of origin), clients with PTSD, couples who are seeking to strengthen their relationship, families looking for new ways to resolve old problems, and individuals who keep repeating the past. Depending on the presenting problem and a client's history, I often integrate EMDR Therapy and Gestalt Therapy and/or Structural Family Therapy. Online counselling is now available to residents of Alberta.

Life experiences can hinder our emotional, mental, or spiritual growth, making it difficult to move forward in an effective way. My experience has been working with teens, men, and women and their issues with trauma, addictions, OCD, eating disorders, and anxiety. I am passionate about helping my clients understand how the brain works and taking a strength-based approach to developing skills. The research focus of my thesis was on resiliency in Indigenous adults with FASD. Together, we can find the power within you.
