I am a Registered Psychologist in the Province of Alberta and have been a member of the College of Alberta Psychologists since 2002. The College is the "regulatory body for the profession of psychology in the province of Alberta, mandated to regulate the profession in accordance with provincial legislation, the Health Professions Act and the Psychologists Profession Regulation" (CAP website). Choosing a Registered Psychologist means you are choosing a therapist who has met a high standard of training/education required for registration and who must maintain ongoing competency and ethical standards in order to practice under this regulatory body.

Psychology focuses on understanding our emotions, thoughts, and behaviours and making sense of our past, present, and future to understand more about why we are the way we are, but also to help shape growth into the type of life we want to live. Working with a psychologist means you will have the chance to learn more about yourself, understand long-standing patterns of thinking, feeling, or acting, and take charge of your future. I draw from approaches including CBT, ACT, EFT and EMDR to help customize a plan that supports your unique goals. You can expect to leave each session with new insights or new ideas to put into practice to help you feel better and live life more fully outside of therapy sessions.

I have extensive experience providing evidence-based treatment for trauma and emotional dysregulation, offered exclusively through secure virtual care. In our work together, I focus on teaching you practical psychological skills that you can use in everyday life—tools to calm overwhelming emotions, manage stress, and build healthier, more stable relationships. I also draw on proven approaches such as trauma-focused therapy, EMDR, and skills training from DBT. These methods are highly effective online, offering the same benefits as traditional in-person treatment.

As a psychologist, I take a warm, collaborative, and holistic approach. I draw from evidence-based therapies like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness to support emotional well-being, build practical life skills, and strengthen self-compassion. My goal is to help you navigate challenges, improve relationships, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel supported, explore your values, and create meaningful, lasting change.
