I am a Registered Psychologist based in Alberta, Canada, offering counselling, assessment, supervision, and consultation for adults seeking a thoughtful and intentional approach to change.

I believe people make sense. Our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are shaped by what we have lived through, the relationships and environments that influence us, the responsibilities we carry, and the ways we have learned to cope.

My work begins with understanding rather than judgment. I aim to offer a collaborative and practical space where we can make sense of the patterns shaping your experience and identify what may support meaningful change.

My approach is grounded in contemporary clinical psychology and informed by longstanding contemplative study and practice. This shapes the attention I bring to suffering, habitual patterns, compassion, and the possibility of responding differently.

I welcome clients from diverse spiritual, cultural, and secular backgrounds.

Professional Path

My professional path has developed over more than 35 years through work in residential services, correctional settings, street outreach, clinical practice, education, leadership, and consultation.

These experiences have given me a deep respect for human resilience and for the pressures, histories, and circumstances that are not always visible from the outside.

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

Clinical Practice

I often work with professionals, leaders, health care providers, and others who carry significant responsibility and care deeply about their work and relationships.

Our work creates space to pause, understand recurring patterns, and develop more intentional ways of living and leading. This may include strengthening insight and emotional regulation, responding differently to stress, and making practical changes aligned with what matters most.

Teaching and Co-Inquiry

I have spent three decades teaching in post-secondary settings, including subject areas related to leadership, ethics, mental health, community development, cultural psychology, addiction studies, and research methods.

I approach education as a relational process of co-inquiry, where learning emerges through curiosity, thoughtful dialogue, reflection, and a willingness to examine our assumptions together.

Leadership and Consultation

In my consulting work, I support leaders and organizations navigating complexity, responsibility, change, and the often unseen weight of decision-making.

Together, we focus on clarity, discernment, compassionate leadership, and sustainable ways of working. This includes recognizing that how we lead is shaped, in part, by how we relate to ourselves and others.

What Guides My Work

Across my roles as a psychologist, educator, supervisor, and consultant, my work is guided by a consistent intention: to understand before judging, to meet others with steadiness and care, and to support thoughtful and sustainable change.

I recognize that identity and systemic forces shape lived experience, including experiences within mental health care. I approach my work with humility, inclusivity, and an ongoing willingness to learn.

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.

Outside of Work

Outside of my professional roles, 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.
