Change can be difficult. I\u2019m here to be attentive to your journey.<\/p>\n

The change that is needed might be in your environment \u2013 to find and build a community of support. It may also mean a renewed perspective to view the challenge in another way, or perhaps and opportunity to learn from others and yourself.<\/p>\n

Varied life experiences shape each of us and provide perspective on our understanding of the world and the web of relationship we develop. I think the search for meaning and purpose is a continuous journey.<\/p>\n

I will work alongside you. Together we can create a space of safety where you can ask questions and explore your world.<\/p>\n

My Approach<\/h2>\n

Existential-humanistic therapy is my theoretical home. I draw support from mindful and self-compassion strategies; Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) and Cognitive-Behavioural (CBT) therapies. My approach is person-centred, strength-based, and trauma-informed. I am interested in hearing the cultural shaping of one\u2019s story and how these developed constructs can play a role in a person\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n

Professional Background<\/h2>\n

I am a Registered Psychologist in good standing with the Saskatchewan College of Psychologists. I have been practicing in the area of counselling psychology with couples, adults, teens, and children (10 yrs +) in private practice since 2021.<\/p>\n

As a registered provider with Veteran Affairs, I extend my assistance to people in this area of service. I have been a member of the Canadian Armed Forces for over two decades. Before becoming a psychologist, I was providing mental health support for members of the Canadian Armed Forces.<\/p>\n
