On Remembrance Day, we pause to reflect on the immense sacrifices made by the members of our Canadian Armed Forces and their families. Let us remember, today and every day, that the freedoms we enjoy are not free and have come at an incredible cost to lives and families in every corner of our nation.

Wounded Warriors Canada specializes in providing culturally informed services that combine education, counselling, and training to support resiliency and recovery from post-traumatic injuries. Learn more: https://woundedwarriors.ca/who-we-are/

Lest we forget. Today, we pause to remember and honour our heroes.

PAST: We remember the courage and sacrifice of those who served. PRESENT: We honor the brave men and women currently serving and their families. FUTURE: We commit to building a future of peace, freedom, and gratitude.

At Evergreen Wellness, I help individuals and couples navigate the challenges that come with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

Many of my clients are caring, capable people who feel stuck—caught between wanting to feel better and not knowing how to get there. Some are managing burnout or emotional overwhelm. Others are healing from painful experiences that continue to affect their confidence, relationships, or sense of peace.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based therapies. I draw from:
🌿 EMDR Therapy – to help process trauma and emotional pain safely and effectively
🌿 Attachment-Focused Therapy – to strengthen emotional connection and heal relational wounds
🌿 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – to build resilience, reduce avoidance, and move toward a more meaningful life
🌿 Gottman Method Couples Therapy – to improve communication, rebuild trust, and create deeper connection in relationships

Whether you’re working through past trauma, relationship stress, or life transitions, therapy can help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface—and begin to heal and grow.

If this sounds like what you need, I’d be honoured to support you.

Feeling the winter blues settling in?
Shorter days, less sunlight, and long Alberta winters can take a real toll on mood and motivation. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is more than “just the winter blues”. It can affect sleep, energy, focus, and how connected you feel to others.

Therapy can help you understand these patterns, build practical coping tools, and find ways to feel more grounded and hopeful through the darker months. My approach blends compassion, evidence-based strategies, and real-life understanding to help you move through this season with more steadiness and self-care.

If you’ve been finding it harder to get through the days, you don’t have to face it alone.

🌿 Reach out today to book a session. I have evening and afternoon appointments available.

When people come to therapy, they often tell me,
“I feel like I should be coping better.”

I understand that feeling, and my goal isn’t to judge or fix you, but to help you understand why things feel hard, and how to start feeling like yourself again.

My approach blends science, compassion, and real-life understanding.
I bring experience from the worlds of psychology business, leadership, parenting and long term marriage which means I get what it’s like to balance career, family, responsibility, relationships, and burnout.

If you’re ready to do meaningful inner work with someone who truly listens, we might be the right fit.
