Everyone experiences challenges in life, and at times, seeking support can be an important step in the healing and growth process. I offer a compassionate, relationship-based approach grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect for your unique experiences. My work draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and other evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to your individual needs and goals.

I hold a Bachelor of Psychology from Concordia University and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with over six years of experience supporting at-risk youth and their families within the non-profit and educational sectors, as well as three years of experience providing therapy.

I believe that every person is unique and brings their own strengths, experiences, and perspectives into therapy. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore your needs and work toward meaningful change.

I am an intern counsellor with Some Other Solutions, where I am currently completing the final stage of a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology.

I believe that clients are the primary experts on themselves and their life journey. At times when life can feel heavy, I feel it is an honour to walk along with a client and listen to their story, while helping them in building on strengths and renewing their resilience in moving forward. My passion lies in assisting clients with enhancing their life skills and supporting them in facing those life’s challenges. I am passionate about using Cognitive Behavioural, Psychodynamic, Solution Focused and Narrative Therapy, and tailor treatments plans to each client’s needs.

I have lived in Fort McMurray for over ten years and in that time, I have had the opportunity to learn from a multitude of individuals with different cultural backgrounds. I also have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, which has supported my work with children and their families in school settings for over five years.

Have you ever wondered how you could feel more hopeful even in the face of overwhelming circumstances? Perhaps this question makes you think of your potential in accessing your strengths. I strongly believe people can be empowered to find their own answers. I value individual difference, integrity, honesty, finding your own path, relationships and connection to ourselves and others. I am willing to sit with people during times that feel like chaos. I can tolerate stuckness. I am not afraid of being afraid and can walk in the dark uncertain places until a person experiences a more hopeful vision for the future.

My professional counselling qualifications include a Master of Counselling from the University of Calgary and a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Regina. I am a certified counsellor and member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association as well as a Registered Social Worker. I am also a certified Mindful Instructor through Mindful Schools.

I am a counsellor with over 10 years experience. I am trained in EMDR, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindful and Narrative therapy approaches. I value the right for the person to choose which approach supports them with the particular concern they are facing.

I have over 30 years experience working in the Human Service field. I have extensive experience working with children from ages 5 and up and their families including youth at risk, foster care, group care and children, parents and families struggling with mental health issues. I have a background in school counselling in the rural communities. I work with people of all ages to help them envision a more hopeful future.
