Psychology Services

Prior to becoming a registered psychologist, I was a teacher for three years. As a teacher, I saw the complexities and struggles that young people were up against and chose to pursue a profession in which I could assist with these difficulties in a different way. During my 13 years of working in mental health and addiciton clinics under Alberta Health Services, I gained valuable experience in assessing, diagnosing, and treating various mental health conditions through person-centred, humanistic therapeutic modalities. I was fortunate to be able to expand my experience and skills while living and working in New Zealand for five years. Viewing client's struggles and difficulties with a trauma-informed lens, led me to specializing in trauma treatment (i.e., EMDR, Mindful Somatic Processing). I am continueing my career as a private practitioner to be able to have the work-life balance needed (i.e., mainly working during school hours) while raising my children.
