ON MATERNITY LEAVE UNTIL OCT 2023
Your experiences matter to me. I am not an expert on you or your relationships- you are! I don't pretend I'm not human, I don't act like a blank slate. I hold space for you. I provide you with important information, tools and resources. Most importantly, I am here for you, with you.
You'll find my therapeutic approach is flexible, but grounded in research. My goal in session is for you to feel heard and understood. I also want you to feel as though there is a clear direction moving forward and you know what to expect.

Education and background
|
I completed my bachelor's degree (honours) in Psychology at the University of Victoria and shortly after moved to Fort McMurray to work as a Research Analyst at a local college.
After a few years of working with numbers, mostly behind a computer screen, I realized I wanted more for myself. I decided to follow my passion and go back to school to do my masters degree to become a Psychologist. |
Throughout my masters training, and later in my experiences as a therapist, I realized very quickly that I absolutely love...well love...and connection...and all things relationships!
I've always been fascinated by how human connection holds the power to heal us, but also harm us. That is why relationships, and relational health, have been the focus of my work as a psychologist. |
