Need help getting untangling that same conversation that you and your loved one keep having over and over and over again? We know that these conversations are hard because family and partners matter so much. Sometimes you just need a little help getting through to one another. Our therapists are trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, the gold standard of couples therapy, to help you identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck and eventually to help you change the conversation.

Individual Therapy

Therapy works because it's a space where you can talk through your problems with a compassionate witness to listen, help you sort through your experiences, and work with you to find new solutions.

Counselling - Student Therapist

Our Student therapists are at the end of their Masters' degrees in a discipline such as Counselling or Art Therapy. They provide an excellent service at a very reduced price and are supervised closely by a Psychologist on staff.

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist that is experienced working with individuals, couples, and families.

I especially love working with teenagers, young adults, and those making life transitions who might not be sure where they fit in right now; specific areas of interest include neurodivergence and anxiety. My style is collaborative and relaxed, with lots of curiosity about what is going on for each different person I see.

When I’m not at YEG GC, I live with partner and two dogs named Ginny & Clark. I love being active by running, cycling, and playing most sports.
