Who I work with
Some people come to me feeling overwhelmed, like they can’t get any traction no matter how hard they try. Maybe you’ve read the self-help books, vented to friends, or tried waiting it out, and you keep running into the same emotional walls. On paper you might be doing all the “right” things, yet you wake up restless, numb, exhausted or stuck. I work with youth, adults and couples who want to understand why they feel stuck and what they can do differently.
Areas of focus
Main focus: Trauma · Attachment & relational patterns · Grief & loss
Also work with: Anxiety & stress · Emotional regulation · Life transitions
How I work
My work draws on attachment theory, humanistic psychology and trauma-informed practice, along with tools from DBT, ACT, CBT, mindfulness and somatic work. Early sessions are about getting to know you and what you need. We’ll always go at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Together, we’ll gently explore the patterns, core beliefs or past experiences that are affecting you now. I don’t use a one-size-fits-all checklist. We’ll check in regularly to make sure the work feels right, and shift strategies whenever something isn’t clicking.
Therapy style
Warm, calm & gentle
Relaxed, with humour
Flexible, following what comes up

A bit about me
Outside of sessions, you’ll find me sipping coffee on my deck, walking in nature, cheering for the Oilers, or trying to make sense of the instructions for whatever board game my husband found on Marketplace. I’m also an adoptive mom, which has shaped how I understand attachment and loss. I went back to school in my 40s to follow a lifelong dream of becoming a counsellor, and I’ve always loved hearing people’s stories.
