Overwhelmed or burned out, struggling to focus or decompress? It’s hard to be at our best through times of stress and personal hardship. With over 10 years of clinical practice, I will help you establish lasting wellness so you can stay on top of what really matters – your interests, responsibilities, and relationships. Let’s make sense of your concerns, find a clear way forward, and get you back on track.
My background is in Occupational Therapy and Psychology, as well as extreme sports coaching. Occupational Therapy is a “function-focused” discipline that targets real-world success with mind-body principles and practical strategies. I also lead a clinical team specialized in mental health and function and mentor developing therapists.

Core Psychology Calgary
Core Psychology Calgary
At Core Psychology, we offer real, practical mental health support for men who want to reduce stress, improve relationships, manage anxiety or anger, and feel more like themselves again. Many men carry the weight of leadership, breadwinning, and family quietly – feeling pressure to have it all figured out, even when overwhelmed. You might be shut down, irritable, burned out, or unsure how to name what you’re feeling. We get it. Our Calgary-based team offers straightforward, confidential care – online or in-person – with therapists who truly understand men’s challenges, struggles and strengths.

In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, ADHD, and exhaustion. Life can be hard sometimes and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they’re struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers, healers, caregivers, entrepreneurs, advocates, and empaths and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you’re tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or simply want to feel better emotionally, you’ve come to the right place.

KM Counselling Inc.
KM Counselling Inc.
A Tailor-Made Therapy Process Just for You
KM Counselling is a NW Calgary psychology practice founded on the idea that meaningful change is best fostered when the therapy process is uniquely tailored to your needs. We know that many people seek out support for reasons that are not always easy to talk about, which is why finding the right therapy fit is critical. You may have tried counselling in the past and felt that the process was too rigid or fixated on the therapist’s agenda, leaving you feeling frustrated and stuck. At KM Counselling, you will work with psychologists who custom build the counselling process to best suit your needs.
Note: HeadsUpGuys only recommends therapists who meet our qualification standards.

I am honored to help those desiring meaningful change in their lives – personal mental, emotional and behavioural change is some of the most difficult work one can do and that is why most avoid it. From 27 years of practice and having worked with very challenging situations, I have refined my therapeutic approach to quickly assist with understanding of your symptoms, the real problem and practical strategies to gain relief. Therapy is a process yet a ‘deep dive’ into what troubles you can be achieved within a few sessions! I am determined to assist in the most effective and efficient way!
