About

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

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

My practice integrates evidence-based psychology with a reflective, process-oriented approach that supports awareness, compassion, and thoughtful response—toward ourselves and others. The work is grounded in helping people understand patterns, strengthen self-regulation, and make sustainable changes aligned with what matters most.

Personal Grounding

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 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

Professional Path

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.

Clinical Work

In my clinical work, I support individuals—often professionals, leaders, and health care providers—who carry significant responsibility and care deeply about their work and relationships.

Our work focuses on creating a structured, reflective space to pause, understand patterns, and move toward more intentional ways of living and leading. This includes building insight, strengthening emotional regulation, and supporting practical, values-aligned change over time.

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 approach education as a relational practice—one that invites curiosity, critical reflection, and the willingness to question assumptions.

Executive Leader & Consultant

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

In Closing,

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