Those who come to see me know, deep inside of them, that you are wise, intuitive, and insightful, and recognize that you are in a place of needing support. Something about this timing, something about the inner voice guiding you to reach out, something about the challenge being faced right now calls for deeper self-observation, awareness, and growth.
Ways to work with me
Sessions
In person
For those of you who know you benefit from face to face sessions, or simply need to transport yourself out of the environment of home and work to dedicate uninterrupted time for yourself.
Sessions
Online
For those who prefer staying in the comfort of their home, or simply unable to physically arrive at the office for a variety of reasons (childcare, recovery from surgery, living elsewhere in Alberta, scheduling challenges etc.).
Individual Sessions
in a confidential, cozy, atmosphere, we will work together to discover where you are at now, what your body has been signalling to you, and what support you desire to make the changes that you seek.
My approach is integrative; I offer a blend of somatic experiencing and processing, attachment-oriented and trauma informed therapies.
We will work collaboratively, which means we will work on what is important to you, whether it is at the forefront of life for you ( i.e relationships, family, work) or unresolved for you (past wounds, developmental traumas, intergenerational traumas).
We can see each other weekly or bi-weekly, it is your choice to make, and can adjust the frequency as we go.
I will look forward to getting to know you, and honoured to be supporting you.
Couples Session
What is your relationship experiencing right now?
How do you show up in your relationship? How does your partner show up?
What gets in the way of Communication? Authentic expression? Intimacy and connection?
Our relationships are complex dynamic systems that may need support from time to time. In a culture that promotes high independence and productivity, there is nowhere really we learn relationality. We rely on what we picked up, adapted to, or internalized from our family of origin. But what happens when the ‘default’ no longer supports the growth of the relationship?
Parents: As parents, we get support all the way to the birthing room. From there, we find ourselves in the throws of the grand adaptation of life called Motherhood, Fatherhood, or simply put Parenthood. The parent child relationship is complex, starting at inception and follows along critical developmental periods.
Parents come to seek consultation and coaching when they find themselves repeating patterns from their own childhood, to assist with their children’s struggles, to learn how to create a closer bond with their children/teeangers/adult children, when their own blueprint for parenting results in day-to-day tension, rupture, or distancing.
I am here to help you establish secure ways of understanding, relating, and repairing with your children, to foster experiences of growth, and build healthy sustainable connection to your children.
For Therapists
You may be currently studying towards a Master’s of Counseling, a practicum student, provisional psychologist, working at AHS, working at an agency, or establishing and running your own private practice.
I understand the unique challenges of finding each other, and the demands and realities of being a practitioner at different levels/stages.
Helping other mental health clinicians and other health professionals is a core part of my practice.
Supervision: For supervision inquiries, please email me with some background (where you are in the process of registration), whether you are looking for a primary or secondary supervisor, and what you are looking for in a supervisor, as well as what you are looking to gain from the supervision relationship.
