About

I am a culturally sensitive Master's level social worker, and therapist, clinician, mental health specialist who is passionate about working with diverse populations and creating a non-judgmental space where each client feels heard, respected, and understood. My practice is registered to provide virtual and in-person counseling services to residents of Alberta and Ontario. I provide counselling to youth, adults, individuals, couples, and families and I have over 14 years of experience as a clinician on the frontline and in leadership teams across many Canadian social services agencies. I understand that at times, life’s impacts bring stress, worry, frustration, and anxiety. I work to provide clients with the right support, help, and guidance so that they can cope with challenges and re-discover their path to a more fulfilling life. My professional specialty includes supporting people struggling with addictions, abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, chronic health, trauma, grief and loss, relationship concerns, behavioral problems, men's, women's, children, and parenting issues. My counselling style is eclectic and rooted in a range of theoretical approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed practice. As a therapist, I provide cultural safety, create a warm, safe, welcoming and brave space where all voices can be heard, challenges overcome, and lives transformed. My counseling mission to ignite hope, build strengths, empower people, and support individual's capacity to become more resilient in all aspects of life.
