I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I received my Master’s from the Univeristy of Alberta through an intensive program that specifically focused on youth mental health. I have extensive experience working as a Teacher and School Counsellor. I believe everyone has the potential to succeed in life and I also understand that sometimes there are challenges that can get in the way of our success. My goal is to help my clients recognize those challenges and work together on solutions to address them.

I bring an open, non-judgmental and friendly approach to therapy. Developing a trusting rapport & including humor are also an important part of my sessions. Although we work together through difficult challenges, it’s important for me that my clients enjoy the therapy process as much as possible.

The presenting concerns I support clients with are anxiety, depression, self esteem, body image, school concerns, motivation challenges, anger issues, self harm, family relationship challenges, stress management, strengths and values identification and ADHD.

I am a Clinical Counsellor with a Master of Counselling Psychology specializing in clinical practice. As a therapist I look for the connections we have with ourselves, our family and friends, and how this can all impact our mental health.

Life can be challenging and some individuals may struggle more than others and you shouldn’t have to go through all of that on your own. Sometimes just talking about some of these struggles can open up doors that will allow you to work through them and grow. I look at giving you a toolbox and filling it with various tools to help you work through any of the struggles you may be dealing with. I take an empathic, non-judgmental approach with compassion as well as honesty to help you grow and heal.

I use a variety of therapeutic techniques including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Strength Based Therapy (SBT).

I graduated from City University of Seattle in 2022 with a Master of Counselling Degree, and I also have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from the University of Alberta. I am in good standing with the College of Alberta Psychologists and the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta.

I am here for my clients to provide them with a non-judgmental, safe space to have a voice. Using empathy, genuine concern, and unconditional positive regard, I join my clients as they look inward and attune to their physiology, notice their thoughts, and welcome/accept their emotions.
