Having built my foundation in the not-for-profit domestic violence and homelessness sector in Grande Prairie, I have a main priority with supporting those who have experienced abuse from those close to them. I have participated in and led multiple initiatives for inclusivity and collaboration in our community, now a dedicated member of the Grande Prairie Pride Society board of directors since 2022. I value everyone’s story and journey. I currently facilitate training on the Danger Assessment, a lethality assessment tool for women, in collaboration with the Alberta Council of Women’s Shelters.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples, monogamous and non-monogamous, and of all gender and sexual identities. Trauma and relationship conflicts can be complex and difficult to know where to start. I believe that therapy can be a start to explore when feeling stuck. I will support you in exploring with curiosity in a safe and affirming setting. My approach is an inclusive and safe space for all of those looking for support, no matter the background, gender or sexual identity, or intersectionality; your mental health journey matters.

We will set goals together and collaborate on your needs and therapy journey. I will encourage empowerment in your awareness of yourself, ability to be curious, and knowledge of your body and experiences. We will explore the past and the present, unpacking it in a safe space. I will guide you to be more in the here and now with your mind and body and out of autopilot. Finding ways to improve communication and connection with yourself and those in your life.

Deciding to come into therapy is often a decision that comes after contemplation for a while or a big life event. Life doesn’t have to be in survival mode or autopilot and I hope together we can find a path forward with hope.
