I have no doubt that at our core, we are all unconditionally good. At times we may feel disconnected from this truth about ourselves or others. As you psychologist, I will provide a confidential and compassionate setting to get you tuned back into your best self.

I provide evidence-based virtual therapy for trauma and emotional dysregulation. Using approaches like EMDR, DBT, and trauma-focused methods, I teach practical psychological skills to calm emotions, reduce stress, and build healthier, more stable relationships.

Not just support. Strategy. I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods and says “hmm.” I show up ready to work—with tools, strategies, and a clear plan to help you feel less overwhelmed and more in control. You don't have to carry this alone anymore.

I have a passion for helping people like you, who want a little assistance in finding alternative solutions in their life, but don't know where to start. Maybe you are too remote or have been hesitant to seek guidance. E - Counselling is the answer.

[I offer video sessions throughout Alberta and Ontario]. I have been a psychologist since 1986. I have plenty of compassion, experience, and competence. I would be pleased to work with you.
