Trauma & Addiction Psychology
Edmonton, Alberta

So no one told you life was going to be this way. Life happens and sometimes it's tough. I believe in a realistic approach to therapy (salty language included) and real self-care (good-bye curated Instagram self-care posts, hello hiding from your kids in the pantry to have a hot cup of coffee) and will meet you where you are at. I believe hurt is often rooted in old wounds caused through relationships across the lifespan and as such, healing happens through relationships, including the therapeutic relationship.

​

I practice in the areas of substance use disorders, PTSD, attachment trauma, parenting, and domestic violence. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and use techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy, feminist therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and attachment-based therapy. I come from a harm-reduction approach, am racial justice allied, sex worker allied, and LGBTQ2S+ friendly. I know that both healing and pain come in waves and in the wise words of Ted Lasso: "I promise you there is something worse out there than being sad, and that's being alone and being sad. Ain't no one in this room alone"
