As a Registered Clinical Social Worker, I believe that healing begins with relationships—those we nurture with ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities. My practice is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and a deep understanding of the complex systems we navigate. I embrace a holistic approach to mental health, recognizing the interconnectedness of our experiences and the diverse influences that shape our well-being. Life is a tapestry of experiences—messy, beautiful, difficult, and everything in between. My goal is to be a steady presence for my clients during their heaviest moments, serving as a light in the darkness.
​
With over a decade of experience in diverse settings—including schools, housing and addiction services, mental health prevention, crisis intervention, and victim support—I have gained a deep understanding of the challenges individuals encounter throughout their lives. I work with clients facing a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, stress, and relationship difficulties. I prioritize authenticity, empathy, and a judgment-free environment, fostering genuine connections, as I believe healing is rooted in compassion and honest reflection.
​
I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to individual needs, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), EFT (Emotion-Focused Therapy), and SBT (Strength-Based Therapy). Additionally, I am a certified facilitator for programs like the Connect Parent Program (an attachment-based approach), the Peacemaking Circle Program (focused on restorative justice), and the Violent Threat Risk Assessment (VTRA) protocol.
​
I offer afternoon and evening sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays in Edmonton, as well as Wednesdays in Fort Saskatchewan. If you feel I might be a good fit for you, I would love to connect and walk alongside you during this time in your life.
