About
Relationships, Finding Meaning & Contentment, Cross-Cultural Competence
I'm dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families work toward a sense of contentment, competence, and peace in their lives and relationships.
Main Areas of Focus:
Navigating the struggle to find meaning and purpose through exploration of unanswered questions about yourself or the world, moving through experiences of loneliness, sadness, worry, guilt or shame, or working to identify what might be getting in the way of your life's goals.
Finding love and contentment in your relationships. Relationships can feel confusing and at times we may feel we are stuck in a vortex of repeated reactions and mounting afflictions. Yet, Esther Perel states the perennial truth: "The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives... and healthy human connection has transformative power..."
Start the conversation in a safe, confidential, and open environment. It is your story and your journey, and I am so interested in hearing it.
Qualifications & Experience:
My work has taken me to the US, Qatar, Spain, Pakistan, India, South East Asia, Mexico, and Australia, and I feel these varied cultural experiences allow me to counsel from a place of compassion and non-judgment. I completed my undergraduate degree with honours at the University of Calgary, followed by a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology at the University of Alberta. I have additional training in third wave Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (Compassion Focused Therapy and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy), Somatic Experiencing/Trauma Informed Care and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. I have experience working with multicultural individuals and families and my Master's project explored cross-cultural competence in therapy. I am also a Gottman trained couples therapist with specialized training in recovery from affairs.
