As a practicum student, under the direct supervision of a Registered Psychologist, I am able to offer a reduced rate for counselling. In this process I look forward to enhancing my learning and provide services that are best suited to you.

Through a person-centered approach, my goal is to foster an environment where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts and feelings. As everyone holds qualities that can enrich their healing journey, I am eager to help you find yours and apply them to your process of healing and living a more fulfilled life. I believe in the power of collaboration and developing an alliance that is geared to help clients work through life’s challenges and find balance. I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental and collaborative environment rooted in empathy, with a deep understanding of the complexities associated with mental health. My approach to therapy pulls from different modalities such as Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused therapy (SFT), mindfulness-based strategies, and Attachment Theory framework.

For several years, I have taken on different professional roles which equipped me with the skills and knowledge in working with diverse needs and populations, including trauma-informed care. As a behavioral interventionist with the Centre for Autism Services Alberta, I had the opportunity to utilize personalized plans geared to help children connect and communicate more effectively with their peers while providing psychoeducation to their main support system. During my time as a Kinship Support Worker with The Family Centre, I gained immeasurable experiences connecting with and supporting adults and youth from different cultures and walks of life.

Additionally, my experience in elite sport competition has elicited an interest in helping others achieve their ideal performance through enhancing their mental skillset. Having participated in competitive sports for 5 years, I recognize the range of obstacles that athletes may be faced with and how they can play a role in not only performance, but personal life experiences. I’m keen to help clients navigate their own sports journey and develop skills that they can apply to their personal and athletic growth.

Whether you’re facing a specific issue or seeking to enhance your overall well-being, I am honoured to support you on your journey.
