I am a Provisional Psychologist working with clients in Edmonton. My current clients note that they continue to choose therapy with me because they feel understood while also being gently challenged to grow. They’ve mentioned that I bring warmth, humour, and relatability to each session. I help them make sense of the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, identify patterns that may be holding them back, and develop new ways of responding. Together, we work at a pace that feels manageable, recognizing that even small steps can move you closer to the life you want.
I use several evidence-based approaches to support youth and adults with anger, anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, grief, and relationship concerns. Additionally, I specialize in offering a safe, confidential, and inclusive space to explore concerns related to identity, race, gender, sexuality, and non-conventional romantic relationships.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’re not sure where to begin. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a collaborative, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. If you’re wondering whether therapy could help, I’d be happy to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

I am a Registered Psychologist and I have over ten years experience working with teens and adults in public, non-profit and community mental health services. I understand seeking help is not always easy and I would like to commend you for taking this courageous step to explore therapy for your wellness journey. While life presents us with various challenges, sometimes we can feel overwhelmed or stuck in patterns that hinder our growth and happiness, I am here to support you every step of the way with compassion, respect and a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences without fear of judgement using a culturally-informed approach.
My areas of expertise include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Internal Family Systems, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Narrative therapy.
I support clients with depression, anxiety, trauma and other behavioral issues.
I believe in the power of empathy and connection in the therapeutic process. By working collaboratively, we can explore your concerns, identify your strengths, and develop effective strategies to help you navigate life’s ups and downs.
I am looking forward to support you in your journey towards positive change and emotional well-being.

Whether it’s anxiety from relationships, pressure from work, or a disconnect between your values and decisions, we all can feel lost at times. Maybe you know exactly where you desire change, or you are uncertain and don’t know where to start, I’m here to help! My goal is to work alongside you to create a space for you to engage in self-discovery, process life events, unlearn unhelpful beliefs and behaviours, build coping skills, and work towards inner peace that often feels eluding. Together we can re-gain a sense of control over your life and mental health as no matter what’s led you here, I believe in the human capacity to adapt and grow with the right support.

My expertise is BIPOC individuals in the 16 – 35+ age range navigating relationship issues, self-exploration, life and career transitions, trauma, self-esteem issues, stress, anxiety, and family conflict. You being here is a big step, as I know from personal experience finding a therapist who “gets you” can be overwhelming, especially for those of us from racialized communities. During our time together, we will explore your current circumstances and create a plan for moving you closer to where you desire to be.

Change can be hard, but you don’t have to do this alone! I offer in-person services in Edmonton and Alberta-wide virtually. My primary approach uses CBT, ACT, SFBT, and strengths-based therapy through a cultural relevancy lense. Wherever you are in your journey, I’d love to connect! I offer in-person meetings in Edmonton and work virtually elsewhere – offer direct billing with Alberta Blue Cross, Medavie, Greenshield Dejardins and Canada Life and receipts for other EHB plans. Feel free to reach out for a consultation or checkout my site for info!
