I am experienced working with a variety of mental health concerns including trauma/Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, body-focused repetitive behaviors (including skin picking and hair pulling), suicidal ideation, self-harm, anger, addiction, eating concerns, and behavioral issues. I am also passionate about perinatal mental health (pregnancy and postpartum), providing parenting support, and working with birth traumas. I tailor my approach to each person I see, and I seek input from clients to make sure we’re on the right track. I believe finding the right "fit" between therapist and client is very important, as we need to trust and feel safe in order to be vulnerable. I offer a free phone consultation to see if we're a good match. One of the ways I tailor my approach is through maintaining training in a number of therapeutic approaches. This includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Habit Reversal Training (HRT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I'm also a trained provider for Perinatal Mental Health services (pregnancy and postpartum). We have many different chapters of our lives, and problems are only one part of the story. I love getting-to-know people outside of problems, and empowering clients to recognize and use their unique strengths to work toward change. If you think I'd be a good fit for you, please reach out! I'm currently seeing clients across Alberta through online therapy services. I offer flexible daytime, evening, and weekend hours.
