Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
I believe that therapy is a safe place for individuals to be heard and explore their own strengths in working towards positive changes in their lives. Everyone comes to therapy with their own unique perspectives, beliefs, and coping abilities which when combined with current research, allows me to draw upon approaches that best match each client's needs and goals for therapy. I offer individual or couples counselling, clinical assessment services, insomnia treatment, and consults for clients wishing to have a second opinion or particular expertise brought to their treatment plan. Please scroll down to the bottom of my page to explore all of my treatment areas!
When not engaged in clinical practice you can find me presenting at conferences and advocating for mental health supports in Alberta & Canada on various boards and committees where I volunteer my time, and providing supervision for masters-level practicum students, early career counsellors, and established clinicians who want to engage in consultation. I am actively engaged in research that will hopefully bring meaningful change to mental health services in Canada in the future.
​
Please see my Treatment Areas and & Specialties below. I currently provide services to adolescents age 12+ as well as adults & couples.
​
I look forward to working with you towards your treatment goals!
