Hi, I am glad you’re here!
Being part of your healing journey would be an honour. I believe each person is inherently valuable and deserves support, wherever they are in life. Relatedly, I hope to create a space where you can be authentically yourself without feeling judged and work toward a fulfilling future that centers on your perspectives, needs, and strengths.
How will we get there? I work from a holistic perspective, meaning I believe many parts of you – mind, body, emotions, spirit, relationships, and culture – influence your experiences in life and our work. We can explore the parts that feel most important to you, but I may also encourage you to expand your focus to other areas. I primarily use narrative, solution-focused, and mindfulness therapeutic approaches. Maybe there will be a few laughs along the way, too! I am passionate about creating a transparent and personable approach to therapy that fits you, so I will consistently check in on how we are working together.
I would love to get to know you and how we can work together; whether that is one session to work through a primary concern, more lengthy support, or something in-between!

I am a Registered Psychologist with The College of Alberta Psychologists. I am trained and certified as a Therapeutic Play Practitioner with The Rocky Mountain Play Institute. I work with children and families suffering from anxiety, depression, family transitions (divorce, separation), domestic violence, grief, and developmental trauma. As said best by Gary Landreth: “Toys are children’s words and play is their language”.
I am also trained and experienced working with individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) suffering from domestic abuse and relational trauma. I have worked as a domestic violence therapist in central Alberta over the past two years, and recognize the significant need in our area for therapeutic support. At Tides Center I aspire to create a safe haven for my clients and their families.

Tides Counselling has been birthed as a result of a few of my passions melding over years of specialized experience. As a former midwife and nurse in Belfast, I have brought my dedication as a midwife together with my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy to assist individuals, couples, and families who are struggling specifically with perinatal trauma. My love of the ocean and its healing waves gives each of us the hope of changing tides.
