There is no greater feeling for me than to see people enact positive and lasting changes in their lives. I have been honoured to share in the stories and journeys of hundreds of people since I began working in the field of mental health, and it continues to be challenging but very rewarding work for me.

I gravitated to the field of Psychology as a teenager and went on to obtain my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology through Athabasca University and a Masters of Counselling Psychology degree from Yorkville University. Throughout my career, I've gained diverse experience working in various therapeutic settings, including the Concurrent Disorders Program at Foothills Hospital, a functional medicine centre, and a long-term care facility before coming to private practice. I work with youth, teens, and adults to address a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, stress management, familial issues, concurrent disorders, parenting, self-esteem, substance and behavioural addictions, work-related challenges, life transitions, relationships, chronic health conditions, and communication skills.

In my leisure time, find joy in immersing myself in cultural events such as film, music, literature, and theatre. I also embrace the outdoors through activities like hiking, camping, and backpacking, indulge in travel adventures, and nourish my mind through reading.

My journey in mental health has equipped me with the skills and insight to delve deep into understanding the root causes of symptomology. My experience as a neurofeedback technician provided invaluable insights into the intricate functioning of the brain and its profound impact on our perception of the world.

Over time, my therapeutic approach has evolved into an eclectic blend, drawing from diverse psychological modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Additionally, I integrate my understanding of human biological processes including the gut-brain axis, nutritional science, and neurophysiology. I also incorporate elements from philosophy and evolutionary psychology to enrich my approach.

Utilizing a person-centered and humanistic approach, I strive to uncover the innate strengths within each individual I work with. My ultimate goal is to facilitate positive changes and promote growth in various aspects of each person’s life, fostering a path towards healing and transformation.
