I have been working within the field of psychology since 2005. I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at The Kings University College, and my Master of Counselling at Trinity Western University in 2011 and am currently a Registered Psychologist in the Province of Alberta.
My passion is in helping children and adults, who have suffered from relational and situational trauma to regain their identity, discover freedom, heal past hurts, and recognize the possibilities of the future.
My main concern is to provide a safe place supplemented with competent, compassionate care to assist individuals in working towards their goals. I utilize an integrated framework, which draws from attachment, psychodynamic, gestalt, trauma-processing, and cognitive behavioural therapies. I have training in Art and Play therapy modalities for children. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which is a highly effective trauma treatment. For more information on EMDR please visit emdrcanada.org.
I provide services for children (ages 5 and up), adolescents, and adults.
I provide individual counselling for:
- PTSD, Trauma and Abuse
- Relationship concerns
- Anxiety and Phobias
- Work and school stress
- Grief and Loss
- Depression
- Burnout
- Play therapy and Art therapy
- Spirituality and Christian Counselling if requested
