About Me
With over two decades in the helping professions, I bring extensive experience to our work. As a Registered Psychologist and former Social Worker, my approach is both professional, practical and caring. I guide individuals seeking clarity and support through difficult times and challenges in their lives. In sessions, we explore those concerns together --- fostering a safe, empathic space where you can feel truly heard. My background and life experience makes me a strong match for those valuing a grounded, experienced, creative perspective.
Approach
That steady, caring practical stance shapes how I work with you. Sessions move at a pace you can manage, blending focused problem-solving with taking time to truly understand and make sense of your thoughts and feelings. I offer appointments in Calgary and safe secure online sessions in English. I really try to help my clients build a sense of hope and gain the forward momentum to create significant life change, while trying to avoid feelings of pressure and overwhelm. I use trauma-informed framing and provide pragmatic supports for my clients, regularly checking in with them to make sure what we're doing together is safe and helpful. Therapy should be collaborative and I like my clients to feel supported and comfortable. People looking for warm, caring, thoughtful, steady collaboration often do well here.
Services
I help clients with managing all the different problems and issues that life brings. I help them explore how to improve their lives, careers and relationships. I help people with anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictions, I'm neurodivergent myself and I love to help ADHD and neurodivergent people better manage their complicated lives. I also work with couples and especially if one or both members are neurodivergent.
With respect, kindness, compassion and understanding, I work with each individual help them build on their strengths and attain the change or growth they are committed to accomplishing.
