Background

I hold a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology, and I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor through the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and a Counselling Therapist with the Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta (ACTA). Master's thesis: "The lived Experience of Solitude: as an expression of personal growth and inner understanding". I have over 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy for teens, adults and seniors - within an individual and couples framework. I have extensive experience treating various mental health and addiction issues, with a keen interest in the areas of grief/loss, relationship issues, and personality disorders.

Your therapeutic experience with me

I believe that the goal of psychotherapy is to deepen self-awareness and inner understanding by helping to cultivate the inner drive towards personal growth and meaningful change. I have also come to appreciate that the healing process takes time, and I hope to create a secure and welcoming space that would help my clients come to that “moment” of self-awareness wherein they can take better control of their lives. One’s decision to seek help may originate as a search for an end to emotional suffering, but it is also one that may continue to develop towards a sense of self-renewal.
