Description
There is no greater privilege than supporting people through the joys and pains of life. Truly.
After over a decade as an educator I can state with certainty that knowledge and skills are only components of personal growth. Achieving one's full potential demands genuine connection and support from competent and caring guides that are centered and balanced themselves. With the goal of helping others in authentic and meaningful ways, I began my formal training in psychotherapy in 2008 and never looked back.
Today, I am honored to offer my services as a Registered Provisional Psychologist (CAP), a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCPA), a certified teacher with the Alberta Teachers Association, and a Registered Yoga Teacher (200-hr) with Yoga Alliance. I have specialized training in marriage/couples therapy, anger management, and mindfulness-based approaches to depression, anxiety, stress management, and trauma, including trauma-sensitive yoga. My clients include adolescents, teens, adults, and senior citizens in the form of individual, couples, and family counselling as well as public and private instruction in yoga and/or mindfulness.
I work with clients to clarify their needs and focus their goals within a collaborative treatment plan (we build it together). My approach to counselling depends on a variety of factors (client strengths, resources, interests, abilities, problem(s), etc.), and is generally guided by a systems perspective. Typically, I employ one or more of the following evidence-based therapeutic models:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
- Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT)
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
