Frequently Asked
Questions regarding therapy
1. How do I know if I need therapy?
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or are repeating unhealthy patterns, therapy can help. I support adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, grief, burnout, and relationship issues. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit—therapy can be a powerful tool for growth and clarity.
2. What type of therapy do you offer?
I offer individual, couples, and family therapy in person and online. Office is centrally located in Calgary. My approach is Trauma informed and blends Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, and somatic tools. Sessions are personalized to meet your goals and preferences. Sessions are generally 60min long and include follow up notes after your session.
3. How do I book a therapy session with you?
You can book online through the link on my website or contact me directly to schedule your free 15-minute consultation. I’ll answer your questions and help you decide if we’re a good fit.
4. Do you offer online therapy in Alberta?
Yes! I provide secure, virtual therapy sessions to adults anywhere in Alberta and throughout Canada. Online therapy is a convenient, effective way to receive support—especially if you live outside Calgary or prefer to talk from home.
5. What can I expect during the first therapy session?
Our first session is relaxed and collaborative. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, explore your goals, and identify what would make therapy most helpful for you.
You’ll get a sense of my approach and whether it feels like a good fit. We begin meaningful work right away—my intention is that you leave every session with something practical or insightful you can use immediately.
6. What kind of issues do you specialize in?
I specialize in supporting adults 30+ who are navigating relationship struggles (including narcissistic abuse recovery), stress, grief, trauma, and midlife transitions.
I also help clients build emotional intelligence, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with their values—especially after major life changes or relationship challenges. If you’re looking for trauma therapy or relationship counselling in Calgary, my approach combines evidence-based tools with creativity and compassion.
8. Is therapy confidential?
Yes—confidentiality is a core part of our work together. Everything you share is private, with a few legal exceptions related to safety, which I’ll explain clearly during our first meeting.
9. I’ve had a bad experience with therapy before. Can you help?
I completely understand how discouraging that can feel. Many people come to me after previous therapy experiences that didn’t quite fit — maybe the timing wasn’t right, the approach didn’t connect, or they simply didn’t feel seen.
Every therapist and client combination is unique. I deeply respect the work you’ve already done and the courage it takes to try again. In our first session, we can talk openly about what hasn’t worked for you in the past, what you’d like to do differently, and what you hope therapy will feel like this time.
My role is to meet you where you are — with curiosity, flexibility, and compassion. Together, we’ll shape a process that fits you: your pace, your goals, and your readiness for growth.
