How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Most people come to therapy not because something is “wrong,” but because something isn’t working anymore.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or noticing the same patterns repeating in your life or relationships, therapy can help bring clarity and relief. You don’t need to be in crisis to begin. Many clients start therapy during periods of transition, uncertainty, or quiet dissatisfaction—when they sense there must be another way forward.

Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and reconnect with yourself in a more grounded, compassionate way.

What type of therapy do you offer?

I offer individual, couples, and family therapy, both in person and online. My office is centrally located in Calgary and easily accessible.

My work is trauma-informed and integrative. I draw primarily from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, and somatic (body-based) approaches. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor each session to your goals, nervous system, and readiness.

Sessions are typically 60 minutes and include follow-up notes after your session to help you integrate insights and keep momentum between appointments.

How do I book a session?

You can book directly through the online booking link on my website, or reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

The consultation is a chance for you to ask questions, get a feel for my style, and decide whether working together feels like a good fit. There’s no pressure—just a conversation to help you make an informed choice.

Do you offer online therapy?

Yes. I offer secure, virtual therapy to adults throughout Alberta and across Canada.

Online therapy can be just as effective as in-person work and often makes therapy more accessible—especially if you live outside Calgary, have a busy schedule, or feel more comfortable speaking from your own space.

What can I expect in the first session?

The first session is relaxed, collaborative, and focused on you.

We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’ve already tried, and what you’re hoping might change. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, listen closely, and help you begin organizing your experience in a way that feels steady and manageable.

Most clients leave the first session feeling clearer and more grounded, with at least one insight or practical takeaway they can use right away.

What issues do you specialize in?

I specialize in working with adults 30+ who are navigating:

• relationship challenges (including narcissistic or emotionally abusive dynamics)
• grief, loss, and life transitions
• chronic stress, burnout, and emotional overwhelm
• trauma and complex relational patterns

I also support clients in building emotional intelligence, strengthening boundaries, and reconnecting with their values—especially after significant life or relationship changes.

My work blends evidence-based therapy with creativity, compassion, and depth. If you’re looking for trauma therapy or relationship counselling in Calgary, my approach is both structured and deeply human.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy.

Everything you share remains private, with a few legal exceptions related to safety (such as risk of harm to yourself or others), which I explain clearly during our first session. My goal is to create a space where you can speak openly and honestly without fear or judgment.

I’ve had a difficult experience with therapy before. Can this still help?

Absolutely—and you’re not alone in that experience.

Many clients come to me after therapy that didn’t quite land: perhaps they didn’t feel understood, the approach felt rigid, or the timing wasn’t right. That doesn’t mean therapy can’t work for you—it often means the fit or method wasn’t aligned.

In our work together, we’ll talk openly about what didn’t help in the past and what you want to be different now. I deeply respect the effort you’ve already made and the courage it takes to try again.

My role is to meet you where you are, at your pace, and to co-create a process that feels supportive, respectful, and genuinely useful.
