I want to work hard to make you feel welcomed and cared for in our time together. I believe relationships are the most important thing in life and because of this philosophy, our therapeutic relationship is important to me. We are hard-wired for creating bonds with others, but sometimes we need to learn how to feel safe before we can establish mutual and loving connections.
My goal in our work together is to support you in strengthening the bonds with yourself and others. This means that we will work together to help you be seen, heard and cared for in the ways that you need with your loved ones. Together, you will learn practical and experiential tools for creating safety and security in yourself and with others.

Education and background
|
I began my education journey with the goal of being a gym teacher because I was passionate about sports and athletics at the time. I have always chosen my path based on my passions, even if they've changed along the way.
Nearing the end of my teaching degree, I completed my practicum at an elementary school. During my practicum, I focused on mental health in the classroom. It was through this I connected with the guidance counsellor at my school who mentored me and planted a seed that maybe, one day, I could also help people. |
After that seed was planted, I immersed myself in helping folks in Calgary's most vulnerable communities. I became involved in outreach high schools, Special Olympics, YWCA, Woods Homes and CARYA.
I finished my Masters degree in Counselling at the University of Lethbridge and soon after began working with individuals, couples and families. I quickly realized that I really enjoy working with couples doing relationship therapy. Relationship work has become my passion and my new path! |
