Counselling Services

As a trauma-informed therapist, I feel deeply honored to hear my clients' personal stories and to be able to walk with them on their journey towards healing. I prioritize creating an environment of safety and acceptance where every part of my client - every emotion, fear, reaction, and question is welcome, valid, and worth exploring with care and compassion.

I view the work that takes place in therapy as a collaborative effort built on a foundation of trust and connection. The therapeutic relationship is both unique and powerful - it is the cornerstone of successful treatment.  In therapy, clients bring the deep knowledge of their own history, lived experiences, and intersecting identities. I intentionally create space to learn from them in this way while using my professional knowledge and personal experience to be a source of support, perspective, and guidance. I offer a gentleness that creates safety and connection while also challenging, supporting, and empowering clients to engage with their fears and/or trauma in meaningful ways that promote healing and growth.

I am committed to employing evidence-based treatments in my practice to better assist my clients in overcoming challenges and increase their quality of life. I believes that effective counselling fundamentally involves working both with the mind and the manifestation of emotional experiences stored in the body.

Every client has a unique path to healing and emotional processing and I facilitate this with openness, warmth, and a clear path towards meeting therapeutic goals. Evening and weekend appointments are available upon request.

Our romantic partnerships are often the place where we find our greatest peace and support. However, these relationships can also experience periods of conflict and disconnect. Couples might consider counselling after major transitions within the relationship, when they find themselves stuck in a seemingly repetitive pattern, or at times where they may not be certain whether the relationship should continue. I take time to understand the perspectives and concerns of each partner and and help you to develop new ways of relating to one another that help you to feel connected, valued, and inspired within the relationship. 

Fees for service are required at the end of each session and can be made via Visa, Master Card or e-transfer.

If you have insurance through Greenshield or SSQ Financial we can direct bill on your behalf and are happy to work with you on a Co-Pay or split billing option depending on your mental health care coverage.

Fees for counselling services are not covered by Alberta Health Care, but are typically covered by some extended health care plans. To determine whether you have insurance coverage for counselling services, please check with your insurance provider that treatment with a Registered Counsellor, Psychotherapist or Counselling Therapist is approved prior to your first session.
