Have you noticed your child struggling to manage emotions, build healthy relationships, or set healthy boundaries? Has there been an increase in your child’s worries, fears, and feelings of overwhelm? Perhaps there have been major life changes, like a separation or the loss of a loved one. As a parent, it's natural to be concerned when your child is struggling. Therapy can offer a safe and nurturing environment where your child can learn to express themselves, build resilience, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Comprehensive therapy can help you connect your child with available government, health, and education supports.

As we go through life’s ups and downs, understanding and expressing the emotions connected to our experiences isn’t always easy. I’m passionate about helping others explore the underlying causes of their difficulties in order to begin their healing journeys. My experiences led me to focus on working with a trauma and attachment lens. I have worked in a variety of settings including schools, children's mental health clinic, prison and community. The positive impact that meaningful connections with others provides has always inspired me, leading me to private practice, joining DC Psychological Services.

Many of my clients reach out feeling stuck and frustrated in repeating patterns of trauma responses or relationship distress. In romantic relationships, they experience the defeating feeling of "here we go again" as conflict arises. Both my individual and couple client are trying their best to navigate challenging situations using old survival strategies that don't seem to help them break the pattern. My clients are seeking more control in their life, to feel calm, and experience more emotional balance.

The focus of my practice is to treat people who have emotional dysregulation - stress! This can be due to a mood or personality disorder, chronic pain, trauma or complex trauma, or a major life transition. I use practical, evidence based therapies such as DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Clinical Hypnosis, and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to help you fulfill your goals, getting back to living a meaningful, peaceful, productive life. One focus of my practice is treating current military members and veterans.

Being vulnerable is really hard, especially with a stranger. I believe in the importance of building our relationship; allowing you to feel safe and comfortable, and for me to hold you accountable. We work in collaboration. If you are motivated to improve, I'm confident that we can identify and work toward developing the tools, coping skills, and understanding that will help you be your best. I find helping people discover their self-worth, set boundaries, and navigate life transitions, very rewarding. I enjoy working with depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, and relationship issues.

If you’re struggling, you don’t have to face it alone. Life can feel incredibly heavy, and if you’re here, you might be carrying more than you can manage on your own. No matter how dark things may seem, I want you to know that there is hope and I'm here with you. It's okay to feel lost, overwhelmed or hopeless right now. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can express exactly how you're feeling — without fear of judgement or the pressure to be "okay". Your story matters, YOU matter. I'm here to listen, to truly understand your experience, and to help you find a way through the messiness of life.

I meet you as you are and where you’re at – in a supportive and empowering environment.

Lethbridge, AB T1J
We often heal best in relationship, and so my primary goal is to create a space where we can work together using what we have both learned along our journey. I began my trauma care journey 35 years ago after surving the San Francisco earthquake, working with emergency response teams and teaching disaster psychology. In 1998, I completed my graduate degree in counselling psychology with an emphasis in health and began advocating for teens with ADHD. In 2018 I licensed in Alberta as a provisional psychologist and have been in private practice ever since.
