Currently Accepting New Couples. Autopilot can be the only thing you know when life feels stressful and unbalanced. This could be from past or ongoing abuse and trauma and how you learned how to cope. Maybe you get so caught up in autopilot that you forget to slow down, feel, and unpack what happened. There’s poor communication with your friends, family, and loved ones. Stuck in a rut of communication and not knowing how to adjust. Walls up so high, people aren’t let in; maybe you avoid conflict so much that you have the tendency to people-please and don’t prioritize your own needs. Whatever it might be, you see a need for change.

Having built my foundation in the not-for-profit domestic violence and homelessness sector in Grande Prairie, I have a main priority with supporting those who have experienced abuse from those close to them. My approach is an inclusive safe space for all of those looking for support, no matter the background, gender, sexual identity, or intersectionality.

Deciding to come into therapy is often a decision that comes after contemplation for awhile or a big life event. If you have read this far into my bio, I assume something has resonated with you. Life doesn’t have to be in survival mode or autopilot and I hope together we can find a path forward with hope.
