I have been a registered psychologist for 15 years, and created FLIP Psychology because I wanted a space where I could be the best version of myself as a therapist, and practice psychology in a way that is authentically me. My passion is working with teens and young adults (and their families) to provide support and encouragement during a time in life where big emotions and transitions reign supreme.
I also find professional joy in supervising provisional psychologists who are seeking their full licensure with the College of Alberta Psychologists (CAP). My training in clinical supervision has provided me with a strong foundation in supervision theory, competency development, ethical practice, and effective feedback. I bring this training together with my clinical experience that spans multiple mental health contexts, including public health, school districts, social service agencies, and private practice.

I have some other important roles in my life too. I am active in teaching psychology courses at Athabasca University, and I am mom to a couple of my own kids who keep me perpetually on the go. I have a big orange cat named Buster Moon, and I also really love coffee, distance running, and growing avocado plants.
Spoiler alert - I am also an imperfect human with an imperfect life. Some people think psychologists are people who live perfect lives with perfect relationships, perfect self-care, perfect families… blah, blah, blah… simply not true. Just another human being trying to live an authentic life over here, and I hope to help you live yours.
