I provide therapy for adults & teens who have experienced struggles with anger, trauma, relationships, self-esteem, grief & loss, men’s mental health, panic attacks, stress, depression and anxiety. I have a specialized interest in substance use and addictions including: alcohol, drugs, gambling, food & pornography.

My hope in therapy is to help you find relief from your suffering and feel empowered to make a change in your life. I believe we all have our own journey, and that healing can look different for everyone. I will hear your story, connect with you and walk with you through your journey from hurt to healing. You will be heard without judgements and I will work with you from a curious standpoint to look deeper within yourself and help you transform, heal and live the life you want. I am here to create a safe and trusting environment for you, full of authenticity, respect, understanding, acceptance, empathy, humour and no judgment.

I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health and addiction field and I am honoured to be part of your transformation process. My counselling process is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and without judgement. We are all unique individuals and I may draw from various therapies including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to best fit your individual needs.

I offer one-on-one support. I support teens, adults, healthcare workers, first responders & veterans with anger, trauma, relationships, self-esteem, grief & loss, men’s mental health, panic attacks, stress, depression, anxiety, substance use and addictions including: alcohol, drugs, gambling, food & pornography.

I understand how hard it can be to find the right therapist for you or your teen. I offer no fee consultations to ensure it is a good fit. If it is not I encourage you to have multiple consultations with others on the team to find the right fit for you.

Therapy can have a lasting positive effect on how we show up in the world, ourselves and the people around us.

As a Registered Social Worker, my areas of focus include:

Anxiety | Addictions: Gambling, Food, Pornography | Substance Use | Depression | Panic Attacks | Stress | Grief & Loss | Trauma | Anger Management | Men’s Mental Health | Healthcare Providers | First Responders & Veterans.

If you’re ready to get started, I offer a 15-min consult to see if we are a good fit or you can book a full initial appointment.

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.
