I know reaching out for help is hard. It is hard to admit to yourself that you cannot do something on your own. It is hard to change those maladaptive survival techniques that have helped you for so long. And it is hard to open up and trust a complete stranger. However, none of this is as hard as what you have just endured. You have already completed the hardest part of therapy - you have survived your experience that has led you to reach out.
 
What I can Help You With
  • Working through anxiety. 
  • Developing and maintaining boundaries.
  • Improving communication skills. 
  • Learning coping strategies. 
  • Expressing tough emotions. 
  • Being mindful of who you are, what is going on around you and who you want to become.  
  • Overcoming traumatic experiences.  

What to Expect Working with Me
I believe in taking a holistic approach to counselling and psychotherapy where I get to know who you are as a person as well as your struggles before offering any suggestions or interventions. I try my best to meet you where you are at and to work on your goals. At times, I will push you and I will challenge you, but it will never be from a place of judgment. I aim to explore different perspectives and new strategies as every behavior we use, even if currently maladaptive, was once helpful and protected us when we needed it to.
 
My Therapeutic Approach
No two people are the same and no two people should be. Everyone will experience therapy differently and everyone will benefit from something different. This is why I am always learning different techniques and therapeutic approaches. I want to help you best achieve your goals. 
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
  • Person Centered Therapy
  • Trauma Focused Therapy  

Cost
$175 per 60 minute session. 
 
As both a Provisional Psychologist and Canadian Certified Counsellor, many insurance companies will cover at least some of the cost. However, it is always best to contact your insurance company before hand. 
 
If you have therapy coverage through a specific organization that requires therapist membership, let me know. I am always open to registering with various organizations if it means helping someone access therapy.

  • Bachelor of Arts with a major in Psychology from Lethbridge University 

A Little Bit About Me
I grew up on a farm in Southern Alberta. Growing up, I learned the value of hard work, the feeling of reward when you complete something you never thought you could, and to pick yourself up again no matter how many times you fall. I am kind and compassionate with my own unique quarks. I love the outdoors - camping, hiking, stargazing. And one day I hope to expand my skill as a photographer.
