About Gail

I have a strong passion in working with individuals looking for guidance and support in finding connection with others and within themselves. I value hearing your story and appreciate the opportunity to walk alongside you. 
Life situations and changes can be complicated and disruptive, and one of the most difficult steps can be reaching out for support. I am here to create a safe and trusting environment for you, full of authenticity, respect, understanding, acceptance, empathy, humour and no judgement. I look forward to utilizing effective therapeutic approaches and working together in creating a plan tailored to your individual needs. 

I work with adults and teens who are struggling with a broad range of concerns, such as addictions, anxiety, burnout, depression, grief and loss,  relationships, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, stress & trauma. I am also available for general concerns to talk things out with. 

I have advanced specialized training and passion working with adults and teens struggling with substance use and addictions- including alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, pornography and sex addictions. Together we can work to ensure that problems are being addressed and plans are put in place to get you back on the path of healing.  
I look forward to connecting with you and having the opportunity to support you in your journey!

Fun Facts

I was born and raised in British Columbia but have spent years living and exploring different cities in Alberta. My family continues to live in BC so I enjoy taking holidays home to enjoy the beautiful weather, ethnic foods and of course my family. When I have free time, I love to travel all over the world meeting amazing people, some life-long friends and trying unique cultural foods. I also love taking hobby classes, dancing and spending time with friends.
