I am an intern therapist currently completing the final section of my Master of Counseling Psychology degree. I believe that all people have an innate tendency towards connection and growth. Using a compassionate and honest approach, I work with you to access your internal strengths, and to better understand your motivations, behaviours, emotions, and thoughts. We will collaborate to identify goals and move towards more joy, beauty, connection, love, and fulfillment. We can also uncover natural resilience to move through the difficult parts of life. I have experience with a variety of issues, including but not limited to, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship distress. I believe therapy should be specific to your needs. My approach is integrative, pulling from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Attachment- Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Mindfulness-Based Therapies, and Somatic Experiencing (SE). Together, we will decide what feels like the best fit for you. I am a settler who grew up on Treaty 6 territory, homeland of First Nations and Metis people. I am so grateful for this land. My background in anthropology informs my view that our social and cultural identities are fundamental to who we are. Sometimes we need help to reflect on the ways that systems and society have impacted our sense of who we are and who we should be. I provide culturally sensitive, anti-oppressive care.

A self-confessed jack of all, master of none, she creates in numerous mediums and is always learning new crafts. Her favourite is Acrylics (watercolour and leather are also among her favourites). She spent 25+ years working as a graphic designer for large international corporations, small local companies, non-profits and everything in between.

As a therapist, my approach is rooted in depth therapy and enriched by the insights of Carl Jung and Wolfgang Giegerich amongst others. I aim to help individuals navigate through their process to unearth and address the root causes of recurring issues and patterns whether that be trauma, depression, anxiety, or other issues that are outside of awareness.

I have over 10 years of experience in mental health and my training includes but is not limited to Cognitive behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Psychodynamic (Jungian) therapy, and sensorimotor therapy. I also have experience in couples therapy utilizing the Gottman Method (Levels 1 and 2) which is known for its effectiveness in enhancing relational dynamics and bringing couples closer together in harmony.

Embarking on a journey to self-understanding can be challenging, but deeply meaningful.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and I have spent the last three years working towards completing my Masters in Psychology from City University of Seattle. It is my belief, that regardless of the reason the individual has come to therapy - ultimately –everyone is searching for someone who can meet them where they are at, who can truly listen to them, and who can guide them in discovering their internal strength.

I approach therapy with the understanding that each person has the capacity to heal, to grow, and for self-guidance. Accessing a client-centered and trauma informed approach, I use techniques centered in Narrative Therapy, feminist therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PET).

As a former member of the Edmonton Fire Department, I was provided the opportunity to work alongside members who had been diagnosed with PTSD due to work related injuries. Ultimately, it was this experience that propelled my decision to leave the fire department and pursue becoming a psychologist. I believe that my time on the fire department equipped me with real world experience that will translate well into the therapeutic setting. My experience coming into this profession - in life and on the fire department - has emboldened me with the ability to practice in areas connected to trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, substance use disorders, as well as helping individuals to understand and heal their relationship with shame. I come from a harm reduction approach and practice in an open and inclusive space.

Life can be overwhelming at times, leading to feelings of disconnection and despair. Through connection, I believe healing occurs, as you are able to feel truly seen, heard and understood by another person. I strive to create a safe, trusting relationship where you feel comfortable to explore your inner world and work through the thoughts, beliefs, patterns and unhealed wounds that may be acting as barriers to the life you desire. As the expert of your experiences, you bring inherent knowledge of what is needed for you to grow and heal. Your wisdom and my knowledge of therapy allow us to work collaboratively to achieve your goals. I am flexible in my approach to meet your unique needs and will meet you where you are at. I practice from an attachment-based, client-centred perspective, utilizing various therapeutic approaches to develop coping strategies, empower and foster transformation. I provide support around experiences of low self-worth, anxiety, trauma, and relational issues. I will meet you with compassion, warmth, humour and acceptance, walking alongside you throughout the process. I want to acknowledge your courage in seeking out support; this is the first and most important step in beginning the therapeutic process. It would be an honour to get to know you and be part of your journey. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hello! I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist working in Alberta. I enjoy working with adults regarding various issues such as anxiety, depression, boundaries, concerns related to race and ethnicity, trauma, relationship concerns, difficult childhoods, shame, and self-compassion. The majority of my clinical experience has been with adults who have been impacted by trauma from sexualized violence.

Life can be challenging; we may experience trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, or significant life changes. I believe the ways we learn to manage or cope with these challenges are all valid and important – as they help us survive difficult moments. However, if you find these coping tools are no longer working for you and would like to learn alternative tools to support your healing journey, therapy may be an option.

Therapy will not solve all of our problems, but it will help us manage life more effectively. I believe that although we cannot always escape the challenges life throws at us, we can learn to ride out the challenges – similar to watching the waves rolling onto the shore. The waves will be constant, but we can learn different tools to help us float in the water, so the waves can feel less intense.

In order to do this, I believe that a strong relationship with your therapist is the most important tool to get started. I will meet you in our sessions with warmth, humour, and empathy in order to build a safe connection to be able to dive into difficult conversations. I ensure my approach fits your individual needs by pulling techniques from various theories, such as mindful body-based psychotherapy, attachment-focused therapy, narrative therapy, feminist therapy, and eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).

I recognize the difficulty in reaching out to begin therapy and honour the bravery in taking this step. If you choose to work with me, together we will explore your story and grow towards your identified goals. I look forward to working with you!

It’s in our nature to need connection and belonging.

When we are in an intimate relationship, sometimes we fight, get discouraged and feel hopeless. We may feel lost and misunderstood. In our couple work, I will help you see the negative cycle that couples enter when they fight, identify the emotional needs and bring understanding and new patterns of communication that will bring satisfaction in your couple.

Helping people and making an impact in the world through spreading kind connection and engaging with empathy is my purpose. I have felt the call to sit with others as they navigate the complex and difficult seasons of their lives since I was a teen, and I am honoured to have the opportunity to walk with others on these journeys to heal and create change in their lives.

I believe the client is the expert on their lives, goals, and how they would like to work together in therapy. I am client-centred, warm, accepting, and empathetic in my work with clients. I believe authentic connections rooted in kindness and unconditional understanding can create success for therapeutic healing.

As a student therapist, I have grounded in psychodynamic therapy, with additional modalities of ACT and narrative therapies. I am passionate about helping people understand unconscious inner conflicts and unhealed elements enacting influence on their life, exemplified in harmful patterns of behaviour, thought, feeling, and relation. I aim to raise awareness to these as well as societal elements which add pressure and create conflict in many areas of our lives. I would like to work with issues of grief, trauma, depression, and anxiety, as well as issues specific to women and the LGBTQ2IA+ community.

Showing up and seeking out therapy is hard. Congratulate yourself on taking this first step—I look forward to meeting and working with you.

Our complex life experiences often shape how we feel about ourselves and the world around us. I find people heal and experience the changes they hope for in the right environment, with the tools that work best for them and through connection to their authentic self.

I believe that healing takes place when we feel connected; connected in relationships with others and to ourselves. As a therapist, I hope to create a space where you can feel safe, seen, and heard. And from this place create the conditions needed for you to explore your inner world, discover the core of who you are, and to heal old wounds that are getting in the way of living wholeheartedly. It is an honour for me to join clients on their healing journeys; to sit in the dark places, to witness healing unfold, and to provide a loving presence through it all. Throughout my journey I have worked with individuals who have experienced significant trauma in their lives, including sexualized violence, intergenerational trauma, and childhood abuse. As a therapist I am collaborative, genuine, and gentle. My work is centered around my training in Hakomi and my other therapeutic approaches include trauma-focused therapy and attachment work.
