I have studied in two areas of focus: I am a Psychotherapist/Master Therapeutic Counsellor (Counselling Therapist) and a Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapist. My background is in the medical field, in varying capacities, where I helped people through their trauma, anxiety, and pain.

I approach all clients with respect. Respect for their culture, their life, their beliefs, and their experiences. I utilize many tools, among them cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I see each person as the unique individual that they are, and my approach will be unique to you and your goals.

My specialties are addressing trauma, anxiety, and inner childhood. I work with complex issues and other issues that prevent you from moving forward into your best life.

I also work with men’s health issues, addressing the unique physical, mental, and emotional health concerns that men may face.

I offer hypnosis, if the client would prefer that approach, to which we can also address menopausal symptoms, emotional eating, weight, smoking, addictive behaviors, chronic pain, insomnia, and much more.

As we work together, my approach is that we are a team. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I would be honored to work with you, providing a safe space to share and in a relaxed environment. Together we can make a difference.

In Her Element: I identify most as an Earth element. I am hard-working, well-grounded, and work very well in nature. I am best known for spending most of my free time outdoors whether I am gardening, walking where I live in a rural area, or star gazing. In the winter, I have been found heliskiing, ice fishing, or just breathing the fresh crisp air. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and cool evenings on my deck with fires.

My practice is guided by Indigenous ethics and healing approaches, and is founded in good relationships, compassion, and respect.

I am humbled by those who let me be a part of their life’s journey, and I would love to be a part of yours.

In Her Element: I am most in my element when I am near water. Water is a healer and processor of all emotions. In my Indigenous Master of Social Work studies, we learned water can carry our emotions, and how our relationship with water is interdependent and reciprocal. However, relationships with all four elements of fire, water, earth, and air, are essential to my life and practice, being part of balancing the four realms of wellness: spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) you learn that good health isn’t only the absence of illnesses and diseases in one’s body, but the complete physical, mental and emotional well-being of an individual. I work to help people find balance within these aspects to achieve optimal health.

I first began my education within the biomedical sciences but was drawn to TCM due to the values placed on treating the body as a whole. While there may be imbalances going on the require more attention, TCM allows me to ensure that all concerns are recognized when I am treating my patients. This not only gives me the opportunity to find lasting solutions but gives those who are being treated by me a voice within their own healing.

Acupuncture is a great therapy that can help treat an abundance of concerns. I have had great success in treating chronic pain, sports injuries, PCOS, anxiety, allergies, IBS, nicotine dependence and insomnia to name a few. I enjoy making people feel better, so I enjoy treating all conditions.

I have been a resident of the Tri-Region for most of my life. I am an active volunteer with boards and community initiatives within Spruce Grove and the Tri-Region.

In Her Element: The element I most identify with is earth. The qualities I have that represent this element are dependability, compassion and logical thinking. I am most in my element when I am caring for patients or out in the woods – enjoying nature with my dogs.
