I have always been drawn to working with people and knew from a young age that I would work in a helping capacity. I consider it an honour to learn about each person’s unique journey.  It is important to me that clients feel heard, safe, and understood as they work through the challenges that brought them to therapy. 

 

I am a Registered Social Worker and have focused my career on psychotherapy and the addiction and mental health field. My therapy practice is informed by Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic approaches. 

 

I grew up on the west coast and have called Calgary home since 2017. My approach is compassionate, honest, collaborative, and direct. I believe therapy should feel like a comfortable and thought-provoking conversation, as well as being an opportunity to learn new tools to handle life’s challenges. Building an authentic therapeutic relationship with my clients is the foundation of my work, and it is a privilege to do so.
