I struggled with mental health during my childhood, teen, and young adult years. Luckily, I had several positive role models to support and guide me towards finding myself and feeling positive emotions including hopefulness and joy. My journey has inspired me to help others who are struggling with mental health and finding their purpose.

Cancellation Policy
Counselling appointments are important for healing, learning, and growth. Please call reception (403-381-6000) for any cancellations or rebooking’s. I require 24 hours notice. In the case of last-minute unexpected circumstances (e.g., sickness, family emergency), then please call as soon as possible and no charge will be issued. In the case of circumstances when 24 hours notice could have been provided, then you will be charged my regular rate ($210.00). Please note that your insurance may not cover late cancellation fees and it will be up to you pay it. Typically, I do not continue to see clients when there have been two or more late cancellations or no shows that are not based on last-minute unexpected circumstances.
