I am a highly skilled and compassionate Registered Provisional Psychologist, holding a Master of Counselling from Yorkville University. With a passion for helping others, I dedicate myself to providing exceptional therapeutic support to individuals of all ages, whether they seek assistance as individuals, couples, or within group settings.
My counselling approach is deeply rooted in an eclectic methodology, drawing from a diverse range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and interventions. This enables me to tailor my approach to suit the unique needs and preferences of each client, recognizing that no two individuals are the same. I believe in the importance of individualized care, acknowledging that the journey to emotional well-being is as unique as the individuals I serve.

I primarily work with couples and I enjoy helping them learn communication skills so they can reach resolution in conflicts and rediscover their passion for one another. Along with couples, I also enjoy working with adults and families to collaboratively identify and enhance their strengths while reducing the negative self-talk often associated with depression and anxiety. I use humor, empathy, and compassion in my person-centered approach, while helping people explore short and long-term goals for themselves in their lives.
After working many years as a vocational counsellor in the Edmonton / Cold Lake area I have continued to expand on my counselling experience by finishing my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.

I have a non-judgemental and empathetic approach to my clients. I am accepting, supportive, can hold a safe and secure place to share your most vulnerable and personal stories that have brought you to seek therapeutic services. Throughout my education, work and life experience, I have a fundamental belief that change and personal growth is a difficult, yet empowering process.
My passion to pursue my studies and training to become a psychologist was fueled by observing how the trauma histories of my clients would lead to ongoing unresolved mental health challenges. Their stories showed me that addressing core issues could help the healing process, and hopefully empower the individual to be an agent of change for themselves.

Thank you for reading my profile. I am dedicated and passionate about helping others overcome obstacles and complications that they encounter in their daily lives.

I employ various theoretical approaches including Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Client Centered, and Mindfulness practices to engage my practice. I am also the co-facilitator of Insight Psychological’s podcast, Up the Rabbit Hole with Dr. Hrushka, where we discuss and answer questions about anything gender or sex related.

Choosing to see a counsellor, any counsellor, can be difficult and might even require courage. It’s OK to be nervous or ambivalent about seeking out help and support. It’s also OK to be happy and relieved. Whatever you’re thinking or feeling about entering counselling, if you believe it might help you through whatever you’re facing, I encourage you to take the leap. Find someone who fits with you and explore the possibilities of an enriched life. The risk is worth it.
I like to work from a relational stance. I use methods that encourage clients to recognize their situations and the issues that arise from them, and then acknowledge the emotions, thoughts, and behaviours that are difficult. Because I believe in the integration of mind, body, and spirit, I use a variety of therapies that individually, or together, promote a healthy sense of self and relationship to other. For example: emotionally-focused, cognitive-behavioural, and body-focused therapies.
I generally like to start where people are at, and work with their strengths and vulnerabilities to create a healthy future. Every person comes to counselling with lived history, which is unique to them. While that history might weigh heavily on a person, it does not need to overwhelm them. I believe that people are resilient and capable of making their way through difficult situations. My job is to facilitate the strengths of each person as they manage their own lived history, and living moments
