Family Therapy in Calgary, AB

Everyone experiences challenges and life differently and I believe they know themselves the best. I am committed to cultivating a space and therapeutic relationship where individuals can explore their identity and experiences safely. I make it my priority to truly understand a client’s unique experiences and challenges. My practice focuses on unlearning normative values and promoting the social adaption of settings to best fit the needs of the individual.

I firmly believes in every individual’s inherent ability to grow and improve their quality of life. I am committed to being genuine, empathetic, and equitable, and I aim to cultivate a therapeutic environment where clients feel understood and respected.

I am passionate about guiding you towards lasting positive changes by utilizing effective treatment models. I bring experience working with diverse populations from the Calgary Counselling Centre, Carya (formerly Calgary Family Services), Distress Centre, and Society for Treatment of Autism. As I believe the best indicator of counselling success is the relationship between the client and their counsellor, I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment by utilizing an empathetic and compassionate approach.
