I am a Registered Psychologist and completed my graduate degree at the University of Alberta, one of the few CPA accredited Counselling Psychology Programs in Canada.  I am a Registered Member of the College of Alberta Psychologists, the Canadian Psychological Association, and the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta.

I have more than 20 years of experience and training in providing counselling. I have worked with adults, teens, children, families and couples in a variety of settings, including hospitals, community clinics, and non-profit agencies.

Research consistently shows that the strongest predictor of success in therapy is the quality of of the relationship between a client and therapist. Feeling safe, understood, and genuinely supported by your therapist creates a strong foundation. From that foundation, we actively work together to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your patterns, make sense of what is happening in your life, and develop new coping tools to create real, lasting changes in your life.

Your voice and choices matter in therapy, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. You will never be pressured to talk about or do anything you’re not comfortable with or ready for.

In my free time, I enjoy copious amounts of coffee, reading, cycling, being creative, spending time with family and friends. and exploring what Edmonton has to offer – from hidden gems to local favourites.
