Education:

Over 6 years of post secondary education at both Mount Royal University and the University of Calgary in both Psychology and Social Work; culminating in a Masters of Social Work designation. 

​

I have extensive training/certification in Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Trauma Informed Care, and Sexual Addiction.

​

Training and Certification in facilitating Parent Connect, Mindfulness Based CBT, and Mindfulness Based Self Compassion Groups. 

​

I enjoy helping couples and families who are struggling, to find closeness in their relationships; typical goals are usually to improve communication and overall connection.  I'm equally passionate about supporting individuals; young and old, who struggle to manage anxiety, depression (i.e., feelings of worthlessness), obsessions/compulsions, traumas (i.e., military, car accidents), grief and loss, and addictions (i.e., sexual). 

Using goals, together we find ways to process past hurts and learn how to manage emotions in healthier ways.  With trauma in particular, I find people need support to get past stuck points that make it hard to differentiate the here and now from the trauma itself.
