about me

New BEGINNINGS

I am a Registered Professional Counsellor (RPC-C) based in Calgary, Alberta. I integrate my background in psychology, counselling therapy, and mindfulness practice to provide a holistic approach to mental health and personal development. This combination allows me to tailor my methods to each client’s unique needs and goals.

With many years working with the Stepfamily Foundation and co-facilitating stepmom support groups, I bring specialized knowledge in navigating the complexities of stepfamilies. This background allows me to offer targeted support for individuals and families facing the unique challenges of stepfamily dynamics.

I have spent the majority of my career in the corporate design and construction world. My transition to counseling was inspired by a life event that reinforced my long-held desire to help others on a deeper level. This experience allows me to uniquely understand the challenges of career/life transitions and personal growth.

I believe in the power of continuous personal growth and self-discovery. My practice is built on the principle that everyone has the capacity to evolve, find their authentic voice, and create positive change in their lives. I am committed to helping my clients on this transformative journey.

Each client’s story is unique and I pride myself on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore our challenges and aspirations. Together, we’ll work to develop practical strategies tailored to your specific situations and goals.

As a lifelong learner, I continuously update my skills and knowledge to provide the most effective and current therapeutic approaches. This dedication ensures that my clients receive the highest quality of of care and support
