I am best known in Calgary for my expertise in couples counselling, and in relationship therapy in general. I have attended intensive training from some of the best leaders in couples therapy and have developed my own unique style of working with relationships. My focus goes beyond the day-to-day complaints in a relationship to the “real issues,” such as betrayal, anger, conflict, secrets and addictions. My approach has been described by clients as “compassionate, powerful and direct.”
I have over 25 years of experience working with all aspects of adult concerns, including attachment issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, conflict, loss, separation, and divorce. I have also completed extra training in the field of addictions and compulsive behaviour. This includes both substance addictions, drugs and alcohol, and process addictions, which include unhealthy relationships with sex, work, gambling, and food. I am knowledgeable about addiction assessments and referrals to treatment centers in Alberta and Canada.
I work with First Responders (Police Officers, Fire Fighters, etc.) as well as with Military Personnel (Veterans, current members) who present with various symptoms & disorders. I utilize several trauma techniques and solution-focused therapies to work with intrusive recurring memories, feelings of detachment, and PTSD in general. I have also done counselling with the spouses if these individuals.
