Therapy for Adults
Through personal and professional experience, I have come to understand the importance of creating a safe space for clients to express their thoughts and emotions. As a therapist, I strongly believe that the client is the expert of their life, and I am honoured to help guide them.
A Bit About Me
I was born in Halifax, NS, however I spent most of my youth in a small town in the UK. I moved to Alberta after I graduated from the University of Liverpool. I have personal experience of trying to fit in to “two different worlds”. This experience has made me passionate to learn about different cultures and to support clients who are experiencing significant life changes/transitions. When not working, I love walking in the river valley with my dogs and husband, soaking in the peaceful scenery and fresh air. I also enjoy spending quality time with friends, whether we’re catching up over coffee or sharing a laugh. Going to the gym is another way I recharge, and I often find motivation and inspiration while listening to my favourite podcasts or music.
