My Experience
I believe in the innate capacity of each person to heal when provided with the right guidance and support. This is why I prioritize the therapeutic alliance. The therapeutic alliance.serves as a safe, steady anchor while you do the hard work of addressing old wounds and developing new, adaptive ways of coping. I work to build that strong, trusting relationship with each of my clients because it is the foundation for everything we do together. When you feel safe and supported, you are more likely to tap into your own inner resources and move through the healing process in a way that feels both empowering and sustainable.
My Modalities

My practice integrates a range of specialized modalities including ART, CBT, EMDR, DBT, PE, to create a personalized, evidence-based approach to care, to create a personalized, evidence-based approach to care.

I am proud to be an accepted provider for CAF, Calgary Fire Department (CFD), Calgary Police Service (CPS), Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB), and Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC).
My Passion
While trauma and complex trauma are major areas of my work, my practice extends beyond that. I also work with clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, parenting and relationship issues, and life transitions. Additionally, I have training in psychedelic therapy and sports psychology, which allows me to support individuals who are exploring those areas as well. My goal is to provide personalized care for a wide range of concerns and needs.
