Welcome/Bienvenue, I’m so glad you’re here!

I provide support for adults facing a variety of mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, attachment injuries, loss, and grief (including the loss of a loved one, the end of a romantic relationship, the end of a friendship, etc.), emotional regulation, and suicidal ideation.

I work from a person-centered and holistic approach to address my client’s emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy while integrating components from Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am also bilingual and am excited to offer in-person and virtual sessions in both French and English.

I value client empowerment and invite you into the treatment planning process to best meet your needs and goals. This is your journey!

With a genuine and empathetic spirit, I am passionate about ensuring a safe and secure space where anyone can feel comfortable expressing any emotion, thought, or struggle. I welcome all stories, backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, and those who value vulnerability and self-discovery.

Canine-Assisted and Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy

I am so excited to connect you with my animals and together we will work toward your mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness. Currently, I offer equine-assisted psychotherapy at the Riverfront Equestrian Centre. I will also be offering canine-assisted therapy, with my co-therapist Hudson, in Fall 2024 in St. Albert.

About me: I grew up on an acreage in southern Manitoba. Animals hold a special place in my heart and have always been a big part of my life. Growing up over the years, I had fish, hamsters, a guinea pig, a bunny, four birds, cats, and many dogs. I wholeheartedly believe in the healing power of animals, and this is why I pursued training in Animal and Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy!

Why AAT & EAT? There’s no denying the benefits of psychotherapy, however, traditional talk therapy can be difficult for some clients. The unique practice of Animal and Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy involves the intentional inclusion of an animal to help you meet your individual needs and therapeutic goals. For example, if you’re feeling anxious, engaging with the therapy animal through talking and petting may help to reduce anxiety and create a sense of connectedness. In addition, therapy animals can help build a strong therapeutic relationship, make sessions more engaging, and may be tailored to suit culturally diverse clients!
