I'm a Registered Psychologist (#4633) in Alberta. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and my Master's degree in Counselling Psychology at the University of Alberta.
In addition to working in private practice, I have also worked at the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton, providing counselling to people who have experienced sexual violence.

In my spare time I enjoy playing with my kids, reading a good book, getting together with friends for a games night, and going for walks in the beautiful Edmonton River Valley with my family.
Inspiration for the Name
The tamarack tree has captivated me since childhood, with its beautiful yellow colour in the fall and soft needles that it sheds in the winter time. Unlike other coniferous trees that it shares its forests with, the tamarack spends much of its life in a state of change, transitioning with the seasons. The tamarack can thrive in harsh environments, such as swamps and bogs. I find it to be a beautiful metaphor for our own strength, resilience and innate drive to grow and overcome the challenges in life.
Land Acknowledgement
In the spirit of reconciliation, I humbly acknowledge that I live, work and raise my family on Treaty 6 and Métis Region 4 Territories. Land that many indigenous peoples call home and a place of gathering, including the Métis, Cree, Dene, Nakota Sioux, Saulteaux and Blackfoot peoples.
