Truth, Healing & Reclaiming your identity, are goals I want you to achieve. The stories we tell ourselves influence how we: perform in relationships; view ourselves, & make sense of our experiences of the world around us. I use a narrative approach, which is effective in helping process topics such as: trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, depression, & family of origin challenges, amongst others. My experience has provided me an in-depth understanding of how social justice issues like: racism, gender discrimination sexual orientation, ability & such impact us. I want to carefully consider the impacts of each with you.
I have been working as a social worker since 2008 having helped my clients through a variety of challenges. In my work, I assist in your growth by retelling the story of your experiences so that the stories can help you discover your truth, & heal from past wounds so that you can positively move forward in your life.
Trust, Honesty and Respect or “THR”, as I like to call it, are 3 crucial fundamentals that should be part of any therapeutic relationship. I work from an open & non-judgemental mindset, respecting the experiences of each individual. This allows space for you to feel truly heard & understood. I am looking forward to working with you!

You might be at a crossroads presently and wondering if you should seek
therapy. You might even feel uncertain, lost or unsure of where to begin.
However, there is no right or wrong time to seek out therapy for whatever issues
you would like to work on.
I work from a collaborative stance that respects and considers your perspective and
individuality to help you reach your therapeutic goals. I also work from a
trauma-informed perspective and culturally responsive lens.
I strongly believe that therapy is one the best investments we can make in
ourselves and has the ability not only to transform our lives but also the lives of
those around us. I currently reside in Calgary, Alberta, and I enjoy being close to
the mountains. I believe showing up for others is impossible if we do not show up
first for ourselves. I enjoy going out for coffee and brunch with friends, slow
mornings and travelling in my spare time.
I feel privileged and honoured to be able to walk alongside your journey and
help you attain your therapeutic goals in a unique approach tailored to your
needs. I am LGBTQIA2S+ affirmative and work from a client-centred approach.
