Eileen is a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with a Diploma in Social Work from Northern Lakes College and a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from the University of Calgary.

Her practice is grounded in an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, strengths-based, person-centred, and systems-based framework that integrates attachment theory, narrative approaches, and somatic awareness. This approach helps clients understand themselves within the context of their relationships, families, and broader social environments, while building regulation, agency, and sustainable change that can meaningfully impact everyday life.

Eileen provides individual counselling, couples counselling, and specialized support for complex family and relationship dynamics. Her work includes supporting clients through life transitions, relationship challenges, difficult family dynamics, stepparenting roles, and high-conflict coparenting relationships. She offers counselling and coaching sessions that bring warmth, compassion, and structure to challenging conversations, helping clients build insight, confidence, healthier patterns, and stronger boundaries.

In couples work, Eileen helps partners understand relational patterns, improve communication, navigate conflict, and strengthen connection. Her approach is informed by Gottman-informed principles and attachment-focused perspectives, with an emphasis on creating greater safety, understanding, and meaningful change within the relationship.

For families experiencing separation or ongoing conflict, Eileen also offers support informed by the High Conflict Institute’s New Ways for Families Counselling program. This work focuses on building practical skills, reducing conflict, and helping parents move toward healthier, more sustainable patterns of communication and coparenting.

For the past 18 years, Eileen has professionally supported women and their families through education, advocacy, and compassionate care. Her background as a doula, childbirth educator, lactation educator, and women’s health advocate has given her a deep understanding of the emotional and physical transitions people experience throughout their lives.

As a mom and stepmom in a large blended family herself, Eileen brings both professional knowledge and lived experience to her work. She understands the unique joys, challenges, and complexities that can come with relationships, parenting, separation, and blended family life.

“I’m passionate about walking alongside clients with curiosity, care, and respect. It is meaningful to me to honour a client’s lived experiences and support their path forward.”

”When I am not working with clients, you can find me creating something from wool, enjoying a cup of tea with a book, blowing bubbles from 60 feet underwater in my scuba gear, or relaxing on the nearest beach.“
