ABOUT ME
As a psychotherapist at FreeMind Therapy I bring my 30 years experience into the therapy space, to learn who you are and discover what you need to truly reach your goals. If you’re feeling ‘stuck’, that’s okay. I am here to help you craft your therapy goals, so ultimately you can improve your quality of life.
If you’re navigating a time of transition in life, feeling stressed, anxious or just not yourself, I can help you find the path to clarity and ease. If it’s trauma or relationship issues that have brought you here, you’re in the right place. I support you in gaining a greater self-understanding by helping you identify patterns of thought and behaviour that have been blocking you from a fulfilling life.
Studies show that the most central factor that determines your success of therapy, is our therapeutic relationship – I therefore make it my priority to make you feel ‘seen’ in our sessions, using a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach that puts you at the centre.

EXPERIENCE
I hold both a Master of Social Work and a Bachelor’s in Sociology from the University of British Columbia, as well as a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Calgary. My 30 years of experience in the field of mental health has given me a wide variety of experience that I bring to my work, including: healthcare, government, education and private practice.
My professional journey of becoming a therapist evolved naturally from my childhood, where I was exposed to ideals of social justice and humanitarianism early on. I have an insatiable curiosity about human nature and am honoured to walk alongside my clients, as they discover their strengths and learn to navigate life in a way that serves them well.
If you are considering therapy, it would be my honour to walk alongside you as you embark on a path of discovering yourself and what you need – for a truly fulfilling life.
