A bit about me,

Welcome, I’m Adrienne, and I’m a Registered Psychologist. I am also a mother, a wife, a friend, a dog mom, an avid book collector (working on the reading part…), a sweaty pursuit enthusiast, and a lifelong learner.

For as long as I can remember, or at least by the time I recognized myself formulating thoughts about what I wanted to be when I grew up, I have felt a deep calling to be a Psychologist, but, my journey wasn’t this straightforward.

As many of us do, I had to grapple with intense imposter syndrome and doubts about my ability to achieve that dream. I bundled it away somewhere in my heart where dreams go to rest. After years of travelling a different path, I found I was not feeling as fulfilled and passionate as I knew I was capable of. So I decided to pivot. Having already obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology at the University of Calgary, with a little bit of hope, and a big dream, I applied to the Masters of Art in Counselling Psychology degree through Yorkville University, and I was accepted! During my degree I took on an eye opening and deeply important role as a Child and Youth Care Counsellor, working with at risk youth in a specialized facility in Calgary. My passion was reignited, and I felt the sense of purpose I had been seeking.

I completed my 8-month practicum through the Calgary Counselling Centre, where much like my work with youth, I found a passion for working with people who “don’t fit the mold”.

I aim to be the therapist who finds out who you are, and breaks the hard stuff to you gently. I am so glad you’re here.
