Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Hello and welcome!
I'm a clinical/counselling psychologist with over 20 years of experience. Please scroll down to read about my therapeutic approach and the types of psychological concerns that I can help with. You can learn more about my training and professional experience in the "About" tab.
Appointments are available between 9 am and 4 pm on Thursdays and Fridays only. We can meet at my office in the beautiful Roots on Whyte building (82 Avenue & 102 Street NW, Edmonton) or by secure video.
New clients are asked to first book an initial consultation for us to mutually assess if my services would be a good fit for you. This is a free, no-obligation, 15-minute service that is done over the phone.
Previous clients returning after 6+ months: please message me first before booking a session.
If you're a client of mine at AHS (Recovery Alberta), please call me there at 780-407-8928.
Online booking is available for your convenience:
More information about my practice:
My therapeutic style is rooted in empathy, respect, and trauma-informed, evidence-based practice. I use various approaches such as CBT (cognitive-behavioural therapy), EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), ART (accelerated resolution therapy), ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy - often in combination to best suit the needs of the client.
I welcome adults of all genders, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds who are looking for help with:
- chronic stress and challenging life situations
- high anxiety, persistent worry, panic attacks, and phobias
- insomnia (trouble falling or staying asleep)
- difficult or toxic relationships with family members
- binge-eating or other compulsive behaviours
- depression, including post-partum (as well as other perinatal mood and anxiety disorders)
- traumatic experiences such as abuse or assault, including PTSD
- childhood emotional neglect and adverse childhood experiences
- growing up with an emotionally-immature, addicted, or "narcissistic" parent
- grief following a loved one's death or being diagnosed with a serious illness
- breakups, separation, divorce, and blended family adjustment
- mid-life and "sandwich generation" issues
- life stage transitions such as new parenthood, "empty nest" or retirement
- other concerns - please feel free to contact me with any questions!
Please note that at this time, I do not provide: couples' or family counselling; formal psychological assessments (such as fitness-to-work or ADHD testing); or services for work-related psychological injuries (Workers' Compensation Board) or cases with legal/court involvement.
Because psychologists' practice guidelines recommend avoiding potential conflicts of interest, I'm not able to see an existing client's partner/close family member, or a patient that I've seen at Alberta Health Services/Recovery Alberta. I'd be happy to provide referrals to trusted colleagues for such individuals.
