About

I have two main branches in my private practice. I provide family counselling to families with acting out teens. I also provide general Addiction Therapy to adults. I work from an attachment perspective. Pain, shame, and trauma result in diconnection and a movement towards unhealthy copng strategies. By repairing relationships and the capacity to be empathetic we start the healing journey.

Biography

I am from Nova Scotia where I grew up in a small communty on a Christmas Tree Farm. By joining the Canadian Armed Forces I was able to leave this small comuniity and see the world. After earning a degree in psychology I left the forces and moved to the USA where I had the opportunity to work with high risk teens. Soon after moving to Alberta to be closer to family I got a job as a school counsellor and started working on my Masters of Counselling Psychology. After a couple of years working in a private school in the Middle East I returned to Alberta and got a job with Alberta Health Services as a Family Therapist. After 8 years focusing on family work and addictions I feel confident to be branching out on my own in private practice.
