Flow Psychology - Fernie

Hello and welcome! I grew up in Fernie and my family and I have recently found our way back to the Elk Valley. I pursued my formal education at the University of Calgary where I obtained a BA (Hons) in Psychology, and at Acadia University where I completed a MSc in Clinical Psychology. In 2014, I returned to Calgary to complete my training and registration. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work in private practice and community health care settings with diverse groups of people with different backgrounds, abilities, and sexual orientations. My office is a safe space and everyone is welcome. 

I believe problems come up when we are living out of step with our values and what we truly desire in life, or in other words, when we are out of alignment. Problems also arise when we’ve had difficult life experiences that shape our beliefs about ourselves, others and the world. We then develop coping strategies to help us manage our lives, but these coping strategies often end up causing us more harm than help. Together, we can examine belief systems that no longer work for you, build new skills and coping strategies that help you move through life with more ease, all while leveraging your natural strengths. We’ll also get clear on values and how you can actually live in line with them. Although I have specific training in different therapeutic approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), I practice an integrative approach to therapy with a focus on your unique experience, beliefs, and values. It would be an honour for me to walk with you on your journey to living a life well lived.
