Work Together
You’ve already done a lot of work on yourself.
You’re self-aware. Reflective. You think deeply about your life, your relationships, and how you show up in the world. You’ve likely read the books, listened to the podcasts, maybe even been to therapy before, (you may even work in the field yourself).
And in many ways, it’s helped.
But there’s still something underneath it all.
You understand your patterns, but still find yourself repeating them.
You can articulate your feelings, but they don’t always shift at a deeper level.
You’ve outgrown certain dynamics, but aren’t fully living in alignment yet.
You’re good at holding space for others, but it’s harder to stay connected to yourself.
You want to be open-hearted and kind, but not at your own expense.
You have achieved a certain level of success but still feel like you are missing a greater sense of purpose, flow and joy.
You feel the pull toward something deeper: more meaning, more truth, more connection.
You may notice:
You may be balancing a full life, work, relationships, parenting, responsibilities, while also feeling a quiet (or not so quiet) call toward growth, healing, and something more.
You’re not looking for quick fixes.
You are committed to path of long term healing, growth, evolution and expansion.
Whether in individual sessions or in larger, like minded community. You don’t have to walk this path alone.
What You May Have Already Tried
Traditional talk therapy that gave you insight, but didn’t fully shift things.
Personal development work that helped, but stayed at a surface level.
Managing your thoughts or behaviours without addressing the deeper roots.
Trying to “figure it out” on your own
You’re not a beginner to doing “the work”. But you need someone who can help take you deeper.
What You’re Really Looking For
To understand yourself at a deeper level, not just intellectually, but in a lived, embodied way. You are ready to become the next version of yourself.
To shift long-standing emotional and relational patterns.
To feel more grounded, clear, and aligned in how you live your life.
To stay open and connected, while also holding strong boundaries.
To integrate growth in a way that actually shows up in your day-to-day life.
To explore meaning, purpose, and your own inner guidance, intuition and connection to something larger than yourself, without losing your footing in reality.
What Makes This Work Different
This isn’t just about talking or gaining insight.
We work at the level where patterns actually shift, including the nervous system, emotional processing, and deeper layers of the mind.
My approach is:
Grounded in evidence-based psychology and deeper soul exploration.
Targets the conscious, subconscious and unconscious levels of the mind.
Informed by trauma processing, transpersonal psychology and relationship work.
Open to deeper, meaning-centered exploration and intuitive guidance (at your pace).
It’s both practical and depth-oriented, science backed and soul guided.

Therapy session details
Real growth happens when you have a safe, structured container that holds your progress, helps you stay connected to your insights, and gives you a clear sense of direction between sessions.
I offer a fully virtual practice for your convenience. Sessions are available by secure online video or phone for clients in Alberta, New Brunswick & Nova Scotia. I work with individuals, couples, and adult children-parent relationships.
-
50 MINUTES $250
Standard Sessions are a great option for those who are ready to focus on one to a couple of concerns and for follow-up sessions to maintain changes. This is best for laser focus of deeper processing with a limited number of presenting concerns.
-
60 MINUTES ($270) 75 MINUTES ($310) OR 90 MINUTES ($330)
A preferred option for those who are coming to therapy with a desire to target changes in a number of areas in their lives. Extended sessions also allow for the flexibility to explore deep processing of presenting concerns on multiple levels. New clients often choose an extended session so we can dive in right away.
-
120 MINUTES AND UP: ANYTHING BEYOND THE FIRST 60 MINUTES WILL BE BILLED AT A REDUCED RATE.
Are you ready to dive in deep and get to the root of your concerns? A marathon session allows us to condense months of therapy into a single session. This is a preferred option for those who are coming in to seek support with several longer-term concerns in different areas of their lives, for those in a state of crisis and looking to complete a plan for moving forward in multiple areas, or for those who are from out of province to seek in-depth support while in Alberta.
-
30 MINUTES FOR $150
Focused Sessions are ideal for brief support, strategic check-ins, and practical guidance. This option is best for those looking to clarify next steps, troubleshoot a specific concern, or “pick my brain” without engaging in deep or trauma-focused processing. A great fit for follow-ups, consultations, and maintaining momentum between longer sessions.
My rates align with the Psychology Association of Alberta (PAA) fee guidelines, with reduced rates available for extended sessions.
To support your progress, I provide email follow-ups after sessions that summarize key points, next steps, and additional resources. This allows for more in-depth support and encourages meaningful change between sessions, which research shows contributes to 30–40% of positive outcomes in therapy.
If you would prefer not to receive a follow-up summary after each session (for financial or personal reasons), I also offer sessions at the standard PAA rate. These sessions are 50 minutes and billed at $235. They do not include a follow up summary following the session. Please let me know if you would like this option set up in the booking system.

I help my clients work with all levels of the mind, the conscious mind as well as the subconscious and unconscious.
I help you heal your past wounds
I am trained in multiple methods of trauma processing. I have yet to meet a single human being who has not been impacted by previous negative life events and emotions. (This is often missed in working with other professionals who do not have training in trauma processing).
It is not just a matter of ‘thinking’ or speaking logic to our emotional triggers and reactions. We need safe ways for our bodies and nervous systems to release the emotions so we can have greater peace in the present moment.
Practical Strategies and Next Steps to Integrate Healing and create new Habits
I help you self-assign your own homework to keep you on track with your progress and to further integrate the work we do together in session. I provide practical strategies and suggestions (and you let me know what you are interested/open to working on). I blend deep therapy and coaching to help you take actions and create new habits and improve (or even transform) your life and relationships.
I believe the ego is meant to serve the soul (not the other way around)
I believe that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. I believe in a holistic approach to healing.
My work is informed by the findings of quantum physics on the nature of reality.
I draw from a blend of Western Psychological strategies and Eastern healing approaches to help my clients get to the root of an issue and to make lasting change and transformation.
Our current western culture has lost touch with ancient wisdom and teachings. Our culture values reason and the logical mind above all else.
I believe logic and the ego have an important role to play but I don’t believe they are meant to run the show.
I believe we all have a connection to our soul, the part of us that exists beyond the personality and this time and space. I believe we all have the ability to begin to tap into and listen to this part of ourselves. I believe it is our own personal compass that is meant to guide us on our soul/life purpose and path. Connecting with this guidance and our unique path is an essential component of living a life of purpose and passion.
I help you listen to and work with your intuition and deeper knowing
I help you to learn your own unique intuitive gifts. I am a trusted guide to help keep you grounded in the present day material world while exploring your sensitivities and intuitive abilities. I will help teach you how to be open and yet safe and protected. I will help ease the fears that can come up in the spiritual awakening process (and with my years of mental health experience I will also help reassure you that you are not going ‘insane’).

I have successfully worked with thousands of people in my career from various backgrounds and professionals. From CEOs, medical processionals, entrepreneurs, start ups, stay at home moms, students, millennials, conscious couples, parents of HSP children and spiritual seekers.
The clients who tend I tend to work best with often share the following traits:
Are interested in their personal growth and development, they are avid readers, podcast listeners and do their best to work on themselves.
They have often been to therapy before but if not they are committed to personal development and self-help.
Despite their best efforts at change they are feeling stuck and they are open and willing to do what it takes to move past their blocks and create a new life.
One thing they all have in common is that they are looking for something deeper than what they have done in the past.
They know there is something below the surface, they can feel or sense it, they are aware of the repeating patterns and where they feel stuck. But that awareness isn’t enough to get them out of it.
In fact, it is often all the more frustrating, it can add to the feeling that they should be doing better.
They may have been through difficulties or challenges (or even trauma) but they are interested in taking responsibility for their own healing and in getting their life back.
They are open to trying new things. They realize they can’t heal with the same things they have been doing all these years.
They understand that healing is a process.
They may be really struggling or they might be rocking it in so many areas of their lives (but keep coming up against the same old patterns/feeling stuck in others)
They often have a connection to their own intuition and spirituality.

I am a therapist and professional but I am a human first. I also know the value of doing my own work. I have been on both sides of the couch. I have been described as ‘non-clinical’ (in a good way) and good at normalizing the struggles that we all face on this human journey.
I know what it takes to heal. I can’t do the work for you but I will get in there with you and help direct you to the possible strategies, process and approaches that can best support you in reaching your goals
I am incredibly warm, supportive and non-judgmental (it takes a lot to phase me). But I am also committed to your growth and development and I will (lovingly) call you out on your stuff.
I tend to be more directive than many therapists. I am not the sit back and smile and nod or ‘tell me how you feel about that’ type of therapist. I bring who I am into the therapy room. I take this work seriously and treat our time together as sacred space, but we will also laugh a lot (and maybe even swear a little).
You will always be in charge of what we focus on and how deep we go but I will be there guiding you and offering different ways we can work towards your goals.
I bring a blend of clinical experience and intuitive healing abilities into the therapy room. Depending on your comfort and openness I can share what I am picking up to help guide our work together. You are always in control of what we focus on and any interventions we might try.
After over a decade in the mental health field and navigating my own spiritual awakening there is pretty much nothing that can shock or surprise me anymore. From the taboo to the wonderful and weird rabbit hole of the spiritual awakening world.
My current clients are my top priority in my practice and our space together is sacred. However I do work best with those who are committed to doing their work. I do recommend that current clients schedule their next appointments ahead of time (otherwise you have have to wait for an aviable openings).
I require 72 hours notice for any cancellations or rescheduled appointments or clients are responsible for the full session fee. (Unless it is an situation where we both agree it is an unexpected emergency- in these cases contact me as soon as possible to provide notice).
I am not available for phone calls between sessions. I cannot communicate through text message, social media DMs or other non-secure forms of communication.
You can send me a secure message on the online system, email me or leave me a voicemail message with your email contact (so we can set up a time to connect).
I take on fewer clients so that I can offer more in depth support to those I work with.
