I have come to believe that life can throws us challenges where some of those challenges may feel harder than others to overcome. In those times of need it can be scary and often times daunting to think about reaching out for help. In taking that big step and reaching out, I aim to be that person who can make that transition easier.

Finding a therapist that is a right fit for you is important. I would like to share a little about me to make that process easier. I am a Registered Social Worker that graduated with a Masters of Social Work with a Clinical Specialization from the University of Calgary, as well I have a Bachelors degree in Social Work from Carleton University (Ottawa, ON). I have worked in the field for 10 years working with diverse backgrounds with various mental health concerns and struggles. I provide services to individual adults and couples who are struggling with anxiety, depression, work stress, everyday life stress, interpersonal problems, trauma, relationship difficulties, self esteem, coping skills and grief and loss using a client-centred approach. My therapeutic approach/training is rooted in an eclectic approach of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman modalities, and a Trauma Informed practice where I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

I strongly value connection and the need for relationship as a key piece of effectively navigating these life challenges. I strive to offer clients compassion, and the space they need to do this. My hope is that through a strong therapeutic relationship we can create shared meaning to strive towards meaningful change. My hope is that we work towards creating a deeper understanding of the issues and concerns that have brought you to therapy as a means to heal and make new connections towards the person you want to be. Thank you for considering Calgary Therapy Services, and I look forward to working with you.

I believe in creating a collaborative relationship with clients, who are the experts in their own lives. It is important to me to create a safe and welcoming environment where clients feel heard, valued, and respected. It is an immense privilege to enter the stories of other people’s lives and I feel deeply honored to do so. Previous clients have described me as down-to-earth, warm, and empathetic.

It is important for me to tailor treatment and interventions specific to each client’s individual needs, and so wholehearted listening and understanding to each unique story, experience, and situation is vital. Diverse experience within Alberta and Newfoundland had allowed me to utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities and intervention, based on a mutual understanding of client goals. I ensure treatment is trauma-informed and focused by using best practice standards.

I have additional training in evidence-based treatment modalities; including, Gottman Methods Couples Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy and utilize these within the context of a helpful therapeutic relationship.

I am a Registered Social Worker within the Province of Alberta and have been working within the mental health field since 2005.

While it might feel overwhelming and intimidating, beginning this journey is the first and hardest step to understanding and owning your personal story to honor your past, show compassion to your present, and believe in your future.

My philosophy is grounded in being a lifelong learner, which in this work means I am constantly adapting to the needs of each individual I serve in order to meet you where you are in your journey. I do not believe that people are only the sum of symptoms they are experiencing, therefore I practice from a strengths-based, trauma informed lens with a focus on holistic practice, which views you as a part of the complex environment in which you are living.

Much of my therapeutic approaches are based in the Cognitive Behavioral Model to best achieve balance between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I draw on a range of perspectives in order to achieve results for your unique and individual needs including Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Attachment-Based theories.

I am a Registered Clinical Social Worker through the Alberta College of Social Workers. I have been lucky enough to have experienced working in mental health within an array of settings within the hospital, live-in residential treatment programs and in community based not-for-profit organizations for almost 10 years.
