What I Practice

I believe that a key reason clients come to therapy is they are being significantly impacted by adverse life events that they have not fully processed. These events can express themselves in many ways including but not limited to anxiety, depression, personality disorders, ADHD, and PTSD. Below are the key therapies that I utilize to help people heal from their past and become more resilient in the present.

I acknowledge that the land on which I work and live is the traditional territory of the Indigenous peoples of Alberta, including the Treaty 6, 7, and 8 Nations, as well as the Métis Nation of Alberta. I honour the rich histories, languages, and cultures of these First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples and their ongoing connection to this land. I strive to contribute to a future that respects and acknowledges the contributions and resilience of Indigenous individuals and their communities.
