My purpose is to assist people in restoring their wellness, in all its many forms. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify their goals for therapy and choose the most helpful, individualized interventions that will allow them rediscover their inner strength and resilience, as they work through their current difficulties. I work from a "whole person" perspective, addressing the totality of an individual's mind, body, psyche, and spirit. Over my 20+ year career, I have had the fortune of working with individuals experiencing eating disorders, depression, anxiety, workplace injuries, and trauma-related issues, such as PTSD.

Taking care of our mental health is one of the most important things we can do to improve our life. Whether you're struggling with work, relationships, or a battle that is entirely internal, therapy is often the first step to finding relief and making progress in your own life. My goal as a therapist is to help clients understand their psychological process in a concrete way, as well as provide tools and actionable steps to create the change they wish to see.

Do you wish that you could figure out why life just doesn’t seem to be going your way? Are you concerned about your growing adolescent and their future? Are you wishing that you and your family could just “figure it out” and find ways to connect better? Life as we know it is complicated, it’s messy, and it’s increasingly difficult to do on our own. Within my practice, I am passionate about working with clients aged 8-40 in working through relational breakdowns, parent child relationships, experiences of trauma/abuse, anxiety, and many of the other complexities that can keep us from living out the best versions of ourselves.

Facing sexual difficulties? Struggling with communication in your relationship, low desire, or genital pain? Unsure about discussing kinks/fetishes or opening up your relationship? Your experience may not mirror movies - body not cooperating, mind wandering, unable to enjoy yourself. You are not alone, and it's not about love or compatibility. I'm here to help. Empowering your sexuality and advocating for your sexual health and intimacy is what I strive for most! I hope to provide you with an opportunity to reclaim your sexuality in a safe, supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere where you're validated, empathized with and understood.

Do you feel like you are living in misalignment with the things you care about? That you're living with unmet potential and spend time focusing on things that don't match your values? At work or in your relationships, this could be showing up as a big sense of distraction — even though you’re doing so much, it seems like you’re getting nowhere. You have high hopes and big dreams, but feel disconnected and stuck. Something might feel “off” and it’s hard for you to feel motivated to keep going through motions without procrastinating and delaying. I work with clients to improve their overall performance and life satisfaction.

Whether facing challenges or striving for personal growth, seeking support is a sign of strength. I view the counselling process as a collaboration between client and therapist to construct an achievable path to meet individualized needs. The importance of recognizing and utilizing personal strengths to achieve goals is a key to success. Over the last 20 years, I have gained experience working with adolescents and their families in Corrections and in Calgary area high schools. As a therapist, I help individuals and families identify challenges, foster healthy communication, promote understanding, and strengthen relationship bonds.

It can be difficult to go to counselling, particularly for the first time. Finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with is an important, and at times challenging, process. You likely want someone that can give you direction or tools, but also you connect with and feel supported by. I too feel this is important and strive to provide you with an experience that is both warm / caring AND competent/ knowledgeable. For many years I have worked with individual's and couple's concerns in this manner. I specialize in helping individuals or couples move forward, heal their pain, feel happier and find more peace.

I also incorporate motivational interviewing, narrative therapy and positive psychotherapy into my service to best suit the needs of my clients.
We all have different life stories where losses, pain, struggles and setbacks paint part of our story plots. Our life stories say more than the fact of what happened, they speak to us who we are, who we can be and guide our future as we make sense of our life experiences. When we get stuck in our life, we sometimes need a safe place and a reliable person to hear and to understand us as we work our way out of the dark tunnel. We can feel validated and accompanied in this collaboration that fosters an honest and open dialogue. I do hope to be your companion on your healing journey.

Is it like you're disconnected from your best self? Or like you know what you're supposed to be doing, but something is preventing you from reaching your goals (whether in sport, work, life, or relationships)? More often than not we hold limiting beliefs about our abilities – especially when performing under pressure. My job is to help you explore the things that hold you back and correct them so you can achieve your goals. We will clarify the why of your present and connect with the why of the things you want to streamline the path to your preferred future. In short, we will work together to eliminate the barriers that limit you.
