I am a Registered Psychologist in Alberta, British Columbia, and the United Kingdom, with over 18 years of combined experience working with children, youth, adults and families in the fields of education and psychology, as well as supervising Master’s-level therapists. Over the past 10 years as a Registered Psychologist, I have supported clients as a school counsellor, psychoeducational assessor, and leader in inclusive education. I also bring experience integrating psychology into health care and sport and performance environments, always with the aim of making psychological services more accessible, brief, and empowering.

I completed the required training to become a qualified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher and bring a strong mindfulness lens to my work. As part of my qualification journey, I completed a practicum placement at the Lois Hole Hospital for Women in its Reproductive Mental Health Department, providing individual and group support to women in various life transitions and/or experiencing depression and anxiety around such transitions, including postpartum depression and anxiety. In school counselling, I have also supported students and families as they navigate transitions from high school to tertiary education, gap year(s), or the workforce.

Currently, I am completing the North American certification as a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC). I have worked with individual athletes and sports teams to foster positive team dynamics, sharpen mental skills, and build resilience under pressure. I understand the performance mindset both as a professional and as an athlete myself. I have competed myself at the provincial, national, and world levels in curling, winning a World Junior Curling Championship.

My approach is relationship-driven, goal-oriented, and solution-focused. Whether you need a cheerleader, a motivator, or a quiet confidant who will simply be with you on your journey, I aim to meet you where you are at. I don’t believe change has to be hard or dramatic to be meaningful. Sometimes it’s one shift, one courageous choice, that begins the process of transformation. I want to help you believe in your own capacity for growth by creating a safe, collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I believe deeply in the human ability to change, and I’m here to help you access that potential.

My integrated therapeutic approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Brief ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, grounded in a positive, hope-based framework. I’m also trained in administering gold-standard assessment tools including the WISC, WIAT, and ADOS. With my background in education, I prioritize sharing knowledge in ways that help clients make informed, empowered choices. Whether you are looking for a focused consultation or ongoing or brief therapy (often 1–4 sessions) acting as a behavioural health consultant, I can help you activate immediate, meaningful change.

On a personal note, I am a wife and mother to boy/girl twins who are elite-level university rugby players—sports and performance are in our DNA. I’m a proud Master athlete, avid runner, tennis and pickleball player, hiker, and lifelong curler. I continue to pursue new goals and believe I am more equipped now than ever before to achieve them. I’ve learned firsthand that the greatest opponent is often fear—and the key to moving forward is choosing to Face Everything And Rise.

Whether you’re navigating challenges in school, sport, parenting, performance, or life, I would be honoured to help you rise.
