Grief Therapists in Alberta
I'm a lifelong learner and have extensive training in somatic psychotherapy, grief and loss, relationships, and parenting.
Life can bring unexpected challenges, changes, and loss. I am committed to sitting with you where you are today. With grief, anxiety, self-doubt, confusion, stress in relationships, or parenting struggles. We will work together to increase awareness and to identify and change old patterns, shift emotions and experiences held in your body, honour personal boundaries, and develop self-compassion. A significant loss at the age of 29 led me on a path to pursue grad school and yoga teacher training, before starting in private practice in 2016. I have worked in the counselling field for over 20 years.

I help clients with childhood trauma, life transitions, anxiety, relationship concerns, narcissistic abuse, and hair loss.
Sometimes we get stuck in our story and feel like we're spinning our wheels, unable to get going again. Trauma and past wounds seem to hold us back from engaging with life. I've sure felt this way. And I'm here to let you know that your story matters - and that YOU matter. Whether your struggles are showing up as anxiety, hypervigilance, relationship issues, etc., I strive to create an environment where you can show up just as you are so that you can begin to feel safe and understood to start unpacking your experience. And maybe, just maybe, move towards different patterns and acceptance!

In my experience, most people are much more courageous and resilient than they give themselves credit for. As such, in both my assessment and therapy work, I focus on an individual’s strengths to help them develop skills and resources for tackling whatever they are struggling with. Do you need help managing your stress and worry about the current state of the world? Are you dealing with grief, loss, or unresolved trauma? Do you have symptoms such as depressed mood, fatigue, insomnia, pain, panic attacks or unhealthy behaviours such as avoidance, anger, or substance misuse? Do you have a loved one with dementia? I can help.
