I primarily work through eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy (SFT), narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR).
I understand that every person is unique and has different needs. I take time to understand a client’s natural strengths. Working alongside them, clients are able to develop new skills and resources to support them in a way that is complementary and fitting to their lifestyle. With specialized training in trauma, I work with clients who have experienced sexual, physical, emotional and/or financial abuse. Additionally, I work with clients who would like support with anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and relationships.

I believe in the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship, and bring a non – judgemental, accepting, and empathetic approach. I aim to integrate various therapeutic approaches when supporting clients with their healing and personal growth. I use strategies from Narrative therapy which seeks to empower clients to create their own narratives and work towards achieving the life they want. I also appreciate interventions from Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) which is designed to help you manage difficult emotions with acceptance and self-regulating strategies.

Drawing upon approaches such as Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and others, I work to guide and support young people who feel lost alone, and often misunderstood.
Do you experience situations and problems that can bring anxiety and depression into your life? Have you felt the desire to move forward but you don't know how? Have you ever felt like you don't live up to your potential and you feel as if there is no point in trying. Is change and transition difficult for you? Do you sometimes feel that there are few, if any answers or solutions to your problems? These thoughts and feelings can pressure you to feel alone. Whether you are a youth, adolescent, or adult you have the strength and resources necessary to heal, grow, and succeed in removing these feelings and thoughts from your life.

My integrative approach is informed by a variety of modalities that I use such as EMDR, CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Attachment Theory, Feminist Theory Therapy, Mindfulness and Therapeutic Play with children.
My passion and experience is supporting children, youth and adults from diverse backgrounds including First Nation communities. I bring a wealth of international experience in the field of trauma informed mental health interventions with different cultures. I have worked and trained in various parts of the world including the United Kingdom, Southern Africa and Canada.

I have specialized training in Narrative Therapy and Forest & Nature Therapy, but I don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach to counselling: cognitive, goal-oriented styles, somatic inquiry, or gentle polyvagal interventions are all in my tool box depending on what fits for you.
Affordable therapy: I want you to have access to therapy that is safe, open, trustworthy, and affordable. I’m a clinical social work student who works with adults to process trauma, build healthy relationships, and feel confident in LGBTQ+ identity. (Contact through email or JaneApp preferred!)

My therapeutic strategy is individually tailored and integrative, incorporating elements from various psychotherapeutic interventions and modalities, such as CBT, ACT, IFS, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care.
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 also provide neurodiveristy-affirming, narrative-based adult autism assessments.
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 use a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and holistic approach in my work, drawing on therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and more.
We all have moments in our journey where we feel overwhelmed, stuck, or lost. It can feel overwhelming navigating life's challenges without support and guidance. You are not alone. I strongly believe that you are not your trauma and our experiences don't define us. I am here to offer a safe, supportive, and judgment free space to work through past traumas and emotional scars. I believe in walking alongside your healing journey to guide you towards feeling empowered and in control of your life. Together, we can explore those experiences and move towards a better, healthier you.

My passion for working with children and adolescents comes from my background in Elementary Education. As long as I can remember I have always enjoyed working with this population and it has been a privilege to be able to apply my previous knowledge to support development and growth in the therapeutic space. A strong collaboration between myself, my client, supportive family members and other professionals is important to me. I call my office the “no judgment zone” where we are able to feel comfortable exploring various challenges and working towards finding viable solutions.

My training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (Certified), Narrative Therapy, and EMDR guide me in the work we will do in therapy together.
“We are relational beings" and we discover ourselves in our relationship to others. When these relationships don’t feel “secure”, we may feel alone or in pain, causing personal struggles to be more difficult. My experience in counselling those who face marital, family, and parenting struggles, offers ways to overcome the barriers that get in the way of reaching out to those you love. I offer my authenticity and a supportive place to reflect, and discover new ways of viewing yourself to create positive change.

Narrative Counsellors
Is narrative therapy evidence-based?
Narrative therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioural therapy. Some small studies do show that depressed and anxious individuals who were treated with narrative therapy reported improvement in anxiety and depression symptoms.
How long does narrative therapy last?
Narrative therapy is less structured when compared with psychoanalysis, for example. Narrative therapy is more open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a few months, and sometimes a year or longer. Patients see their therapist one to two times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a person’s challenges and progress. Individuals can also practice the principles of narrative therapy after treatment has ended.
Does narrative therapy work?
Narrative therapy can help a person manage or reduce symptoms of conditions like depression or anxiety. This type of therapy encourages a person to reflect on the moments of their life when their particular problem was not at the forefront of their minds — perhaps life celebrations, achievements, and other successes. The individual is encouraged to rewrite their storyline as if their particular problem was not part of their life. This therapy may offer benefits that are hard to measure.
What are the possible limitations of narrative therapy?
Narrative therapy is person-centered or client-centered, and the health professional pays more attention to the subjective narratives that are constructed by the client, as opposed to other objective measures. The therapist privileges the individual’s perspective over all others. This open form may feel frustrating for individuals seeking a more structured approach; certainly, no one therapy type will work for every individual.
