Joining Our Team Soon

In-person in Calgary & Virtual Across Alberta

Feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to perform in sport or at work? High achievers often carry intense expectations — from others and from themselves.

I specialize in sport and business psychology, helping athletes and professionals thrive in high-performance environments. I work with athletes of all ages and levels, as well as leaders and professionals navigating workplace stress, big decisions, and demanding roles.

Together, we’ll build real-life coping skills, gently explore patterns that may be holding you back, and create meaningful, sustainable change.

Therapy with me is Gratifying & Insightful.

I bring a steady, calm, positive energy with genuine curiosity into the room, creating space for clarity, depth, and meaningful forward movement.

Outside the therapy room…

You’ll often find me on the golf course or at a ranch.
