Associate Faculty- Masters of Counselling
I am registered psychologist with over 15 years experience in the non-profit sector in Calgary where I’ve held a variety of frontline positions, as well as senior leadership roles overseeing a wide variety of a clinical programming. I also own and operate my own clinical practice with a focus on trauma, and developing healthy relationships to sex and sexuality. I’m passionate about ethics and delivering quality, evidence-based service that aligns with best practices and sit on the College of Alberta Psychologists Practice Advisory Committee. I joined the CityU team in 2023 in the Masters of Counselling Program and love getting to support students in the early stages of their development into the counselling profession.
Teaching
I believe learning should be engaging and collaborative. I always aim to create an environment that fosters curiosity, dialogue, and knowledge sharing in ways that help students engage with learning in a way that sparks passion and commitment to the field of psychology and ethical practice. I love to make learning hands on and integrate my professional practice experience into content to bring course materials to life. I value exploring alternative perspectives and love to engage students in sharing their unique views as they relate to course content.
