Working with Me
I am a warm, playful therapist who loves to help people feel right at home. When I am with families and parents, I understand deeply the level of struggle that they are experience and try to approach therapy first looking at strengths. With adults and individuals, I rely on the themes of attachment science and to see struggles as adaptive strategies that have deep roots. In those moments we are always doing the best we can with what we have and know.
My style is relaxed, warm, collaborative and conversational with lots of curiosity. I tailor my approach to the unique needs of my clients while using compassion, empathy, and respect. Therapy is a space that we will create together, weaving together your experiences in a way that will begin to make more sense.

When I'm not at YEG FC...
I am a mom to two sweet and energetic young children, so I have the amazing privilege of getting to play at work as well as at home! I enjoy reading, the calming effect of coloring, travelling, going for walks in the woods. In the summer, my family and I enjoy nights around the fire and going for ice cream. I also love to learn new languages.
