About

I create space for reflective dialogue and meaningful change, approaching my work and relationships with steadiness, respect, and care.

My practice integrates evidence-based psychology with a reflective approach that encourages awareness, compassion, and thoughtful response — toward ourselves and others.

Outside of my work, I am often in the mountains, on the river, in the garden, or at the pottery wheel making wonky vessels. In winter, I cross-country ski and knit imperfect hats for friends.

I recognize that identity and systemic forces shape lived experience, including within mental health care. I remain attentive to these realities and strive to approach my work with humility, inclusivity, and ongoing learning.

I am a cisgender, heterosexual, white Canadian woman of Ukrainian heritage. I live and work on Treaty 6 Territory within the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 4, and am committed to responsible and reflective practice.

Psychologist/Human Services

My professional path has taken shape over more than 35 years, working alongside individuals in residential services, correctional settings, and street outreach. These experiences shaped a deep respect for human resilience — and for the realities that often go unseen.

Today, my work spans clinical practice, education, and consultation.

In my clinical work, I support individuals — often leaders and health care professionals — who care deeply about their work and the people they serve. Together, we create space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with clarity, steadiness, and the values that matter most.

Educator & Trainer

As an educator, I have spent more than 25 years teaching in post-secondary settings, offering courses in leadership, ethics, community development, cultural psychology, addiction studies, and research methods. I see education as a relational practice — one that invites curiosity, humility, and the courage to question assumptions.

Executive Leader & Consultant

In my consulting work, I support leaders navigating complex systems and the weight of decision-making that comes with them. Leadership can be both meaningful and isolating. Together, we focus on cultivating presence, discernment, and sustainable ways of engaging — recognizing that how we lead is shaped by how we relate to ourselves.

Across these roles — clinician, educator, and consultant — my work is guided by a simple intention: to meet others with steadiness, care, and respect, and to support thoughtful, sustainable ways of living and leading.
