Educational Background

I am a Registered Psychologist in Alberta with a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology (Adler University, Vancouver, BC) and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology (University of Victoria, Victoria, BC). 

Since 2015, I have been providing compassionate counselling services to individuals and couples in private practice, corporate, and agency settings. I help my clients learn practical tools to manage issues such as anxiety, depression, parenting, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship difficulties.

My own journey through pregnancy and motherhood has helped shape my growing interest in perinatal and maternal mental health. I have completed specialized training in maternal mental health, holding certificates of completion for Bringing Light to Motherhood: Perinatal Mental Health Certificate Training from Maternal Mental Health Now, and Advanced Perinatal Mental Health Psychotherapy Training Certificate from Postpartum Support International.

Depending on the unique needs of each client, my approach to counselling offers clients a blend of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Adlerian Therapy, mindfulness, self-compassion, and Solution-Focused Therapy methods.

In my spare time, I love to be outdoors doing physical activity and enjoying nature with friends and family.

I believe that having a “good fit” with your counsellor is one of the most important aspects of counselling, so if you feel like we might be a fit—feel free to reach out! I also offer a 15 minute free phone consultation to help you decide, if you’d like.

I can’t wait to meet you (or re-connect, if it’s been a while)!
