Waitlist for new clients- I feel incredibly grateful to be able to sit with clients and support them in some of the hardest times of their lives. I bring a compassionate, calm and accepting energy to every session, ensuring that you feel safe and heard. I always welcome the difficult conversations, as I know this is where healing begins. My style of therapy is informal and client-centered, responsive to each person’s unique needs. Our problems of today are often rooted in our hurt from yesterday. Being able to explore our past from a trauma-informed, attachment-focused lens helps us find meaning, connection and hope for the future.
Areas I am passionate about include: childhood trauma; emotional dysregulation, children of alcoholics (CoA) and children of emotionally immature parents; relationship issues (attachment, co-dependency, communication), pregnancy/postpartum and the transition to parenthood, and Indigenous healing and reconciliation.
I am able to offer virtual therapy to youth ages 12 + and adults who reside in either Alberta, Northwest Territories, Nunavut or Yukon. I am an approved provider of the First Nations and Inuit Non-Insured Health Benefit (NIHB), as well as able to bill most extended health insurance companies.
