Instead of telling your child to take a deep breath, take one with them.

Co-regulation means regulating your emotions together. And it works because kids don't learn calm by being told to calm down. They learn it by feeling it, from you.

Babies and children are picking up on so much more than we realize. Your nervous system is speaking to theirs, even when no words are involved. When you model regulation, you're not just helping them through the moment; you're teaching them what it feels like to come back to themselves.

The good news? It's good for you too. 🌿

Hard. Awkward. Uncomfortable. Heavy. Raw. Scary.

Therapy can feel like all of these things, sometimes all at once. But here's what I've seen over and over again: what feels impossible at first becomes manageable. Then familiar. Then yours. You're growing, even when it doesn't feel like it.

Keep going. 🌱

Hello and welcome! 👋 Although therapy can seem intimidating, I view it as just like any other health service, such as the dentist or chiropractor. Just like how we visit the dentist if we have severe tooth pain or need a regular routine cleaning, I am here for both your traumatic life experiences as well as maintenance or self-care sessions. No issue is too small when working with me and my practice, Arcadia Counselling. No one is meant to struggle alone, which is where I come in. 💫

Therapy looks different for everyone so whether you are looking for a place to unload, want me to challenge you to uncover the ‘nitty-gritty’, desire at home virtual sessions, want to learn some new coping techniques, or improve your quality of life, I strive to help you feel supported, validated, and heard. Here to accompany you on your healing journey, my approach comes from a place of compassion, warmth, and sometimes lighthearted conversation (so that our time together is more fun than going to the dentist!).

My passion for supporting others is longstanding and genuine. With over a decade spent in the field of psychology, I bring experience, education, and a warm welcoming aura to my practice. I hold a bachelor’s degree from the University of Lethbridge in psychology and a master’s degree from Yorkville University in counselling psychology. I have worked in both the public and private sectors, working alongside those with varying mental health concerns. As a generalist, I support children, adults, couples, and families with a wide range of presenting concerns. My counselling style takes a holistic, client-centered, and trauma-informed approach while providing a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space. I draw from a number of therapeutic approaches including, but not limited to, cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy.

I offer a 15-minute complimentary meet and greet call for any further questions or to chat about how I can support you.

I love this video and highly recommend you give it a watch! What we say as helpers matters. Lead with intention, curiosity, kindness, and an open mind. We are human—there’s no one-size-fits-all 🩵

The words we use matter more than we think. 💬

"What's wrong with you?" puts the weight on a person, as if they are the problem. But "What happened to you?" acknowledges that pain has a source, that behaviour may make sense in context, and that people deserve curiosity instead of judgment.

This simple shift is at the heart of trauma-informed care and it changes everything about how we show up for the people we love (and ourselves).

If we haven’t met yet, hi - I’m so glad you’re here 👋 🤍

I’m a Calgary-based therapist, but before all of that I’m a daughter, sister, wife, friend, dog mom, human mom, and a helper at heart. Counselling chose me just as much as I chose it.

When I’m not in sessions you’ll find me on a ski hill, on a hiking trail, at a restaurant I’ve been dying to try, or on a golf course (shoutout .calgary)! I live for travel, adventure, good tea, and even better company.

What drives everything I do in life and in my practice is this: love hard, live hard, and never be afraid to let it out. I believe in showing up fully, crying when you need to, talking it out when you’re ready, and always being someone people can count on.

Those same values are what I bring into every single session.

If you’ve been looking for a therapist who feels like a real human being, I think we’ll get along just fine 💛

This is genuinely how it feels every time a client does something hard, and let’s be clear, all of it counts as hard.

Opening up for the first time. Choosing yourself even when it’s uncomfortable. Sending that first email to a therapist.

So proud of you. Every time. 🤍

And honestly? You should be proud of yourself too.

Curious about confidentiality in therapy? This one's for you. 👇

Therapy is a safe space to explore life's challenges with unbiased, non-judgmental support, and your privacy is taken seriously. Everything you share stays between us.
There are only 3 situations where confidentiality has limits:

🚨 1. You are at imminent risk of harm to yourself or someone else (notice the word imminent, not every hard moment)
⚖️ 2. Your file or session notes are subpoenaed to court
👶 3. Someone under 18 is at risk of abuse or neglect, in which case we have a duty to report to keep them safe

That's it. Everything else stays in the room.

These exceptions exist to protect you and others, not to create fear. If this is something that's been holding you back from reaching out, I hope this helps. 💛

This little one had no idea they’d grow up to sit with people in their hardest moments, help them untangle the stories they tell themselves, and remind them that healing is possible. 🌱

Little me didn’t have all the answers. Grown-up me still doesn’t, but I know how to help you find yours.

If you’ve been thinking about starting, this is your sign.💛🌻

Something I keep coming back to when I'm weighing a goal: both paths at the fork in the road seem hard. Going for it is hard. Not going for it is also hard. But they don't lead to the same place after. That question - which hard do I want to choose? - has a way of making the path forward a little clearer. 🌤️

What goal are you standing at the fork with right now? 👇
