My whole-person approach honours the Nature within you. You already possess all you need to be at peace, to heal and to grow. My focus is on creating spaciousness — of mind, heart, body and spirit — for your healing nature to emerge. Bringing sessions into the natural world often eases the nervous system and deepens that spaciousness within. Paired with evidence-based approaches — IFS, EFT, Mindfulness and Somatic work — that ally with our inner natural wisdom, we work together to restore balance and open new possibilities.

I work with approaches that explore the deeper why — not what's wrong with you, but how your struggles make sense in the bigger picture, and compassionately finding new paths forward that meet your needs in better ways. I draw on IFS, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Somatic and DBT approaches, weaving together what fits you rather than applying a single method to everyone.

Whether you're carrying trauma, navigating grief, running on empty, or feeling lost in who you are — these are struggles I work with every day, with deep respect and care.

I commonly work with:

• Trauma & PTSD

• Grief & loss

• Depression & anxiety

• Burnout & exhaustion

• Addiction & substance use

• Life transitions & identity

• Men's issues & emotional wellbeing

• Relationship & family struggles

• Spiritual concerns & meaning-making

Together we explore your challenges through a holistic lens, charting the right next steps back to yourself. My clients often discover hidden strength and resilience that stays with them long after therapy.

For the past 14 years I have supported children, youth and adults through crisis, hardship and life transitions. Integrating my passion of being in Nature has been a powerful aspect of my work — seeing how the natural world compliments our nervous systems, hearts and spirits in the work of healing is deeply inspiring.

I hold a CCC designation and am registered with ACTA as a Counselling Therapist in Alberta.
