As a traveler of many roads, I have encountered several human beings, each a story with their own aspirations, tribulations, memories and life philosophies. I look forward to walking alongside you in trusting your inner knowing, intuition, and learning how to connect with yourself before others. I am here to support you in illuminating the skills you already have, enhancing them to be even more effective and shining light on some new ones that you can pick up along the way.
I use therapeutic frameworks specifically curated to help you create synergy between the distraction that often consumes our everyday lives and how we wish to authentically show up in the world for ourselves and those around us.
With several years of experience in the field of social work, my path has graciously allowed me to work alongside individuals, adolescents, couples, families, BIPOC folks and those experiencing chronic pain and illness.
I understand that seeking therapy can be one of the most difficult decisions in your life but the outcome can change the lens in which you experience the world. I am looking forward to being part of your journey of finding love, grace, kindness and strength from within.

For over 20 years, I have had the immense privilege of stepping into the stories and lives of my clients - listening deeply, offering support, building skills, and helping people cultivate greater meaning and connection.
My therapeutic style is warm, genuine, down-to-earth, and compassionate. I strive to create a space where you feel truly heard and understood, while also offering evidence- based, practical, and realistic guidance. It is important to me that our sessions are centered on your goals, and that we collaboratively develop supportive, achievable strategies for meaningful change.
Together, we’ll explore the patterns and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck and develop tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected.
I am especially passionate about supporting women through perimenopause and the menopause transition.
I offer both brief, focused support to help shift your experience of hot flashes and night sweats; as well as longer-term therapy to address anxiety, depression, anger, identity shifts, relationship changes, and the complex demands of caregiving during this season of life.
I am a Registered Social Worker in the Province of Alberta and am authorized to provide virtual therapy services in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Nunavut, and Yukon. I am also a Certified Menopause Mental Health Practitioner.
