I tend to work particularly well with thoughtful, self-aware adults who have already done a lot of thinking about themselves, but still find themselves stuck in a pattern, decision, relationship, or stage of life.

My background is broad, and so is the lens I bring to our work. Rather than approaching you through a single diagnosis or modality, I'm interested in the larger context of your life and how the pieces fit together.

I listen closely, notice patterns, make connections, and offer perspective—while remaining curious about what I may not yet understand. I won't assume I know what is right for you, but I also won't sit quietly and leave you to figure everything out on your own.

You may appreciate my approach if you value both warmth and candour—if you want to feel understood, but are also open to being challenged, seeing something differently, or considering what you may not have noticed yet.

Ultimately, fit is difficult to determine from a website. Our first session gives us an opportunity to experience what it is like to work together and decide whether it feels right.

Your first session is 90 minutes so we have time to begin without rushing your story.

We'll talk about what brings you in, what has been happening in your life, relevant history, and what you would like to be different. I'll ask questions, offer observations where useful, and begin making sense of the patterns and context surrounding what you're experiencing.

You don't need to prepare, arrive with clearly defined goals, or tell your story perfectly. We'll start with what feels most important and go from there.

Not at all.

Sometimes people arrive with a very specific concern. Other times, there is simply a sense that something feels off, repetitive, unsustainable, or no longer quite right.

You might know you're exhausted but not know why. You may be questioning a relationship, career, identity, or direction. Or perhaps your life looks good on paper but doesn't feel the way you expected it to.

You don't need to arrive with the answer. Figuring out what the question really is can be part of the work.

This is one of the most common reasons thoughtful, self-aware people come to therapy.

You may understand where a pattern came from, recognize it while it's happening, and even know what you "should" do differently—yet find yourself repeating it anyway.

Insight matters, but insight alone doesn't always create change. Our work can move beyond why a pattern exists to understanding what continues to maintain it emotionally, relationally, behaviourally, or within the circumstances of your life.

You don't need to be in crisis for therapy to be worthwhile.

Many people I work with are capable, responsible, and functioning well by most external measures. They may have built successful careers, maintained relationships, and become very good at managing what is expected of them—while privately wondering whether the life they've built actually feels like their own.

Our work can be a place to explore that discrepancy without assuming something is wrong or that everything needs to change.

Sometimes the work is less about fixing a problem and more about understanding what fits now.

There is no standard frequency that is right for everyone.

Some people benefit from meeting weekly, particularly when beginning or moving through a difficult period. Others prefer biweekly sessions or more spacious, intentional check-ins.

We'll decide together what makes sense based on what you're working through, the pace and depth of the work, your schedule, and your preferences. Frequency can change over time.

In-person sessions are offered at Clinic Studios in Springbank Hill, Calgary:

Clinic Studios is located on the second floor of the Springborough Professional Centre, with elevator and stair access available.

There's nothing you need to prepare or bring unless we've discussed it beforehand.

Come as you are. I simply ask that phones are silenced during sessions and that the privacy and quiet of the shared clinic space are respected.

A receipt will be provided for insurance or personal records.

Direct billing is available for select insurance plans. Eligibility varies by insurer and individual plan, so direct billing cannot be guaranteed.

If direct billing is unavailable, you'll receive a detailed receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

Many extended health plans provide coverage for services offered by a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), but coverage varies by individual policy.

Please check with your insurance provider directly to confirm your coverage, reimbursement limits, and any requirements before your appointment.

I understand that plans change. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 72 hours' notice.

Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 72 hours' notice are subject to a $100 late-cancellation fee.

Private Intensives involve a longer period of time reserved specifically for you.

Cancellations or rescheduling with less than 72 hours' notice, as well as missed appointments, are subject to a fee equal to 50% of the Private Intensive fee.
