Associate Faculty
I am a Registered Psychologist in the province of Alberta with professional experience spanning both the non-profit and private practice sector. Throughout my career, I have developed clinical, supervisory, and leadership skills while working with diverse client populations. As the founder and Clinical Director of Clearview Counselling in Calgary, my clinical work focuses on supporting individuals, couples, and families in navigating the relational and contextual complexities that influence well-being and personal growth.
Research
My professional and scholarly interests are informed by humanistic, attachment-based, and relational approaches to psychology, as well as Response-Based Practice, which emphasizes dignity, agency, and the social contexts that shape human experience. I am interested in understanding how relational experiences shape identity, resilience, emotional functioning, and opportunities for growth across the lifespan.
