I work alongside you, with compassion and respect, to help you find balance. Together, we can explore your unique strengths and challenges, process through past hurts and trauma, and develop better coping skills for managing stress and hardship.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Whether you are a parent seeking support for your child, a family or couple looking to rebuild your connection, or an adult feeling stuck and overwhelmed, I am here to walk alongside you.
My approach is trauma-informed and culturally sensitive. To tailor our sessions to your unique needs and goals, I draw from a variety of evidence-based techniques, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Play Therapy, and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT).
Together, we will build on your existing strengths, develop practical coping tools, and foster the lasting resilience you need to truly thrive and enjoy your life.

Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist (CCTS) – Individuals
Sometimes life can feel heavy, and it can be hard to carry everything on your own. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where people can feel heard, supported, and understood.
My approach is primarily person-centered, empathetic, and collaborative. I believe in working alongside you to explore your strengths, values, and goals while also developing practical coping skills to help you navigate life’s challenges. I am especially passionate about supporting people through trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, identity issues, life transitions, and difficult relationships.
I draw from approaches such as Person-centered therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Somatic approaches, and Parts-work, tailoring our sessions to meet your unique needs. If you are seeking change, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where healing and growth can happen.
If you think we may be a good fit, I invite you to reach out and begin the journey toward healing, balance, and renewed hope.
What Do The Acronyms Mean?
There are many counsellors out there, and finding the right fit is important. What sets our work apart is the space we create for you to feel safe, respected, and supported at your own pace. Our approach is always personalized — we draw from various models to match your unique needs and goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. Here are a few of the main modalities that we employ during sessions.
Counselling Services
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress as an individual, therapy provides a safe space to explore challenges and build new ways of coping. Our goal is to help you feel grounded, confident, and supported — no matter what you’re facing.
Working together, we’ll use evidence-based therapy methods to help you move forward. We provide counselling for children (including play therapy), adolescents (13+), and adults, with flexible online sessions across Canada and in-person appointments in Three Hills, Alberta.

Past traumatic experiences and abusive situations can leave painful scars but are not impossible to heal from. Sometimes these scars show up as constantly feeling exhausted and stressed, repeated conflict in relationships, frozen memories, nightmares and sleep issues, physical symptoms like pain, obsessive compulsive or addictive tendencies, or feeling generally “stuck.”
Using a trauma-informed approach and evidence-based methods like EMDR, we’ll gently process those experiences so you can heal, reduce distress, and feel safer in your own skin. You don’t need to relive your trauma to heal from it.
-
Anxiety can feel like your mind is always racing — with worry, panic, or “what if” thoughts that never turn off. In our sessions, we’ll work on calming those thoughts, building practical coping skills, and learning to trust yourself again. Our goal is to help you feel more grounded, present, and aware of what you can control in your life.
-
When sadness becomes heavy and constant, it can feel impossible to find joy or motivation. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing you down and create tools to bring relief and hope. We’ll support you in building healthier routines, reframing negative self-talk, and finding small steps that make a big difference.
-
If you often feel “not enough” or struggle with who you are, therapy can help rebuild confidence and self-acceptance. We’ll work on uncovering your strengths, creating healthy boundaries, and learning to value yourself. For those navigating cultural or identity challenges, Flowers Counselling offers a space that is respectful, curious, and affirming.
-
Family life can be a source of strength — and stress. Family Counselling offers practical support for various issues your family is facing. Issues may include, parenting challenges, domestic abuse, family conflict, divorce, concerning behaviours in children, and more.
With young children, play-based and age-appropriate talk therapy can help them express and pull apart confusing feelings, reduce anxiety, improve behaviour and self-esteem, and build skills for emotion regulation. Issues may include, bullying, peer conflict, grief and loss, self-harm, challenging transitions, and more.
-
Teenagers today face unique pressures — from school stress to identity struggles to the challenges of social media. I create a safe, supportive space where adolescents can talk openly, develop resilience, and build healthier ways to manage emotions, relationships, and life transitions.
-
Grief and Loss: Grief is unpredictable and incredibly challenging. In Grief Counselling, we will explore your grief process and provide a safe space to share and work through the loss. Together, we will strategize practical coping techniques for the hurt and stress so that you can function and focus in your day-to-day.
Life Transitions: Big changes — moving, career shifts, family changes, or cultural transitions — can leave you feeling unsettled. Life Transitions Counselling offers a space to process those changes, lower stress, and find clarity in your next steps. You’ll leave with practical coping strategies that reduce overwhelm and help you feel more balanced.
-
Addiction Counselling is a supportive, confidential space where you can talk openly about what’s been going on, at your own pace, without fear of judgment. Together, we explore the patterns, emotions, and experiences connected to substance use or behaviours, while keeping your goals and values at the centre of the work.
Counselling focuses not just on reducing harm or changing habits, but on understanding what the addiction has meant in your life— i.e. exploring past traumas or adverse experiences and refocusing on what you need moving forward. Above all, it’s a collaborative process that honours your strengths, respects your autonomy, and supports you in building a life that feels healthier and more meaningful to you.
If you don’t see your exact challenge listed above, or if you’re unsure which type of support is right for you, that’s completely okay. Many people come to counselling not knowing where to begin.
Simply reach out, and together we’ll figure out the best way forward.

Your first session is a calm, conversational intake. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, your goals, what’s worked (and hasn’t) before, and what you’d like to change. We will explain confidentiality, answer questions, and agree on a plan that moves at your pace. You’ll leave with practical next steps and a sense of what ongoing support will look like.

We provide in-person sessions in Three Hills, Alberta (by appointment) and online counselling across Canada.
-
The amount of sessions varies by person.
In our first session we’ll set clear objectives, then review progress after 3–4 sessions. Many people feel relief within 6-8 sessions and complete a focused round in 8–12, especially with CBT or Solution-Focused work.
Trauma processing with EMDR may be shorter or done in phases. We usually start weekly, then taper to bi-weekly or monthly as things improve.
We’ll decide the pace together based on your needs, schedule, and budget. Rest assured that you can pause or return anytime.
