“Maybe it’s not that we find ourselves by heading for new places, but rather, the journey there gives us the chance to see ourselves more clearly.”
- Claire Nelson, Things I Learned From Falling
Hi, I'm glad you're here.
Do you ever feel like you're carrying more than you know how to name, or like you have to be fully okay before you're allowed to ask for help?
I'm a Registered Provisional Psychologist based in NW Calgary, and my practice focuses primarily on supporting women and members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, especially those navigating depression, processing trauma, or looking for a space where they can be fully themselves.
As a member of the 2SLGBTQ+ community myself, I understand the instinct to shrink yourself or stay quiet just to stay safe. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and anti-oppressive care, alongside an ongoing commitment to learning, truth, and reconciliation.
You are the expert on your own life. My role is to listen with curiosity and respect as we notice the patterns that kept you safe once, patterns that may not serve you the same way now, and build on the strengths you already carry. Whether you want to process painful experiences, work through persistent low mood, or develop practical strategies for daily life, we'll tailor our work around your goals, drawing on approaches that include:
· Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFIT), to gently explore and process deep emotions
· Adlerian and Narrative Therapy, to notice long-standing patterns and reconsider your story
· Somatic processing, to include your body's experience, not just your thinking
· Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), for practical, everyday tools
When I'm not in the clinic, you'll usually find me out in the mountains or reading a book. Spending time in nature is how I nourish myself and settle my own nervous system.
If you're ready to start, in-person sessions are available at our North Hill Professional Centre office, or virtually across Alberta. I'd love to meet you, book a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.
