I take a holistic approach to practice, considering how our mind, emotions, body and spirit come together to frame our relationship to the world. I believe mental health to be not only the removal of challenges, but the creation of an active sense of well-being. So, in sessions together, I seek to focus not only on difficulties, but to consider what could be done to increase your resilience and sense of well-being. How we define health can vary widely, and some paths I tend to take focus on gratitude, mindfulness, self-compassion and vulnerability.

I enjoy taking an adaptive approach that is flexible to focus on different aspects of your life. Coming from a feminist-narrative approach, I believe in partial expertise — that as a client and a therapist, we both have expertise, but what we know is incomplete. Only together, in collaboration, can we combine our expertise to create a full picture.

I work at On The Move Mental Health, where I offer sessions Sundays and Thursdays in person (St Albert), virtually and through walk & talk (therapy while walking in the Edmonton River Valley). I also work at DiveThru Mon, Tues, Weds, where I offer in person and virtual sessions.

I use a feminist-narrative approach to practice, which considers who we are as people and explores the stories we use to understand our lives, keeping what is helpful, and finding alternatives to what is not. I use ACT to help explore our values and actions. Through these approaches I seek to align our mind, heart and body with ways of being in the world and what really matters to us.
