Many individuals seek counselling because they feel overwhelmed, unheard, or unsure how to make sense of their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, emotion regulation, relationship challenges, grief, or identity exploration can feel isolating and difficult to navigate alone, especially when patterns seem deeply ingrained or confusing.

As a Counsellor and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I offer a warm, empathetic, and supportive therapeutic relationship grounded in person-centred therapy and informed by evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I work collaboratively with clients to explore the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, while prioritizing compassion, respect, and individualized care. I tailor each session to align with your unique needs, values, and goals, creating a safe space where you can feel genuinely heard and understood.

My role is to walk alongside you in a respectful and supportive way, honouring your autonomy and strengths. At the heart of my practice is a belief in the value of a safe, collaborative therapeutic relationship as a foundation for exploration and meaningful personal growth. If you are considering counselling, I invite you to book a complimentary 10-minute phone consultation to explore whether we may be a good fit.

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist in Alberta. I hold a Bachelor of Commerce and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Alberta, as well as a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology from the University of Lethbridge.

My approach to counselling incorporates techniques from various therapeutic models. Every person brings a unique life experience and a way of making sense of the world. I believe therapy works best when it is tailored to you, your needs, your pace, your strengths and goals. I bring a strengths-based, collaborative approach to therapy, focusing on helping clients better understand themselves and build a life that is more sustainable, authentic, and aligned with their values.

I have a special interest in working with neurodivergent clients. I was diagnosed with ADHD later in my life. Receiving my diagnosis shaped my path towards a career that I am so grateful to work in – it has also strengthened my commitment to helping others feel seen, understood, and supported. My lived experience allows me to offer therapy that is not only evidence-based but is also grounded in an understanding of the challenges and strengths that come with being neurodivergent. Together, we can focus on understanding your experiences, developing practical skills and self-compassion, while also honouring that many struggles are shaped by systems that were not designed for neurodivergent people in mind.

Regarding my personal life, I am blessed to have a strong support system of family and friends. I enjoy travelling, spending time outdoors, shopping for antiques, gardening, and watching football. I especially adore spending time with my two dogs.

Who I work With

I specialize in working with growth-minded individuals and ambitious professionals who struggle with motivation, emotional disconnection, anxious overthinking, and chronic shame so they can find purposeful direction, prioritize themselves, and be more present in their lives. Often, these are young adults (20-35) still searching for their unique superpowers, or mature leaders (50+) who are buckling under the compounding weight of unresolved “stuff”. The root feeling is the same — exhaustion, cycling between throwing themselves into life and pulling away from it entirely; always chasing feeling “good enough. ”Clients regularly articulate my ability to “get it” quickly, ask nuanced and insightful questions they “would’ve never considered”, and share guidance that resonates and is “genuinely useful.” Together, therapy becomes a mirror of their lives, a non-judgemental place to land, and a close, collaborative relationship in which they rediscover their own voice.

What a session looks like

Sessions with me will rarely feel clinical; more like a meaningful conversation. Sometimes clients have a dedicated focus that sets our intention for our time together. More often, we begin by simply reflecting on the past week or two, and naturally, your pressing needs start to reveal themselves, offering entry points for us to dive deeper and work through them. Typically, we move through our lives listening to only certain parts of ourselves, while rigorously dismissing, suppressing, and compartmentalizing others. The goal of our time together is to ensure all parts of you have a ‘seat at the table’, so you can make grounded and informed decisions. As a result, much of my expertise is focused through the lens of attachment and early experience. These set our defaults, and thus they play important roles in creating lasting change.

What you’ll take away‍

Regardless of your intention for therapy, I can assure you there are no “right” answers here. There are, however, “meaningful” ones. Those will be intimately your own, and we will undoubtedly find them. As your awareness builds, you will inevitably reach a plateau in the value new insight provides you. This is where most therapy gets stuck — yet these are the crucial intersections to reflect:‘now that we know a few things, what do we want to do about it?’ If you’re dedicated, our time together will transform from insight development to small 2mm behavioural shifts that slowly add up, and finally big steps that fundamentally rewire how you regard yourself and approach the world around you. Purpose and direction will become clearer, your capacity will recharge, and action and decisions will become noticeably easier, regardless of what comes of them. If any of this resonates, we’re likely a good match. I’ll support you in understanding your patterns, rewiring your brain and nervous system for stability and safety, and will always reflect back what I see honestly and as my real self. No BS, just two people giving what they have.Transparency and vulnerability breathe easily here, trust follows, and meaningful growth compounds. Simple.
