I am here to help. I embrace the "4C's" of my profession, an acronym that stands for caring, compassionate, competent, and well connected. You deserve the best, and that is all I offer. My ideal client is someone serious about improving, growing, and overcoming (or least better managing) whatever it is you need help with now. Please note that I live in Calgary and I offer live in-person sessions here, but I do see clients across Ontario via high-quality video software.

When we have suffered over a long period of time without much support or compassion, we come to rely on certain ways of being and relating that keep us safe but isolated from ourselves and those we love. This is normal considering what we have experienced. Trauma and lack of early nurturing skew our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us. Neither can be trusted, and this determines how we are in relationship within and with others. At the core of all of this is our longing to be in nurturing relationships because the need to feel loved, wanted, and accepted are so innate in us. Therefore, feeling the converse: rejection and shame is a blow to our very sense of self. We reject because we really want to be needed and accepted, and yet we are afraid. The pain we feel in this dichotomy is profound.

I am accepting new clients! Book a consultation by clicking 'my website'. I believe in supporting individuals on their journey to learn to regulate and separate their illnesses from their self-concept. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. I like to provide my clients with strength and values-based therapy that will lead my clients to self-acceptance. Shame is rampant and stops our ability to feel worthy. I want to help my clients reduce shame and guilt leading to being able to meet the eyes of a loved one and see the positive reflection when that someone looks at them.

Availability for Adults, Adolescents, Children, Evenings and Weekends! I believe that everyone has a sense of autonomy and resilience, and sometimes a supportive environment is needed to reinforce those strengths that are within each one of us. I view the therapeutic process according to the client-centered framework, which places empathy and unconditional positive regard at the forefront. I combine this humanistic approach with cognitive techniques from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing.

As a therapist, I help clients coping with anxiety, depression, chronic stress & relationship/co-dependency issues. If your mind is all over the place, full of negative thoughts, your emotions are intense & stick around too long, you are coping ineffectively, you are unable to assert yourself & have lost a sense of your self, I can help. As a coach, I work with women bosses who remain in hopeless relationships and repeatedly attract the wrong partner and with women bosses who have lost their way, lost control & lost touch with their true selves & inner power which is preventing them from moving forward on their life goals.

Charles Dickens once remarked that “a wonderful fact to reflect upon is that every human is a profound secret and mystery to every other." Despite how unique we all are, we often tend to spend much of our lives suffering, searching for happiness in places we struggle to ever find. Our wounds are the gateways to the most sacred parts of us and when we are open to new possibilities, we find what we had hoped for. It would be my honour to help make those possibilities your present realities.

I am a psychodynamic and certified trauma therapist. I use a non-pathologizing approach to understand emotional distress. Instead of seeing it as an illness, I help people see their inherent strengths and understand the meaning behind their struggles. Many of the struggles people want help with are coping strategies that worked at an earlier time in their lives, but are no longer helpful. I work with people to explore how these behaviours came to be, how they served them, and how to cultivate new ways of being that align with their goals and values. I use a psychodynamic approach as well as IFS, EMDR, DBR, and somatic work.
