Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Southeast Calgary, Calgary, AB

I offer a space to help people to feel understood and accepted while working together collaboratively. I understand that although our past can influence our present, it does not dictate the future. I believe treatment plans and interventions are best when they are tailored to match client’s individual needs. Since I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is key, I help clients explore strengths while empowering them to work towards growth and outcomes. I have a passion for working with children, youth, individuals and families and draw from my past 20 years of experience working in mental health.

Hello & Thanks for taking time to view my profile. I find clients are quite aware of how unhappy they are & the impact on their lives, but they don’t know how to fix it. Since 2005, I have worked alongside courageous clients to eliminate distress & make lasting remarkable change. I avidly believe most Mental Health concerns are NOT problems you are stuck with and change is achievable. I work with older adolescents and adults who want treatment for Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Binge Eating and Complex Health & Weight Concerns.

Hi! I have been providing mental health support and counseling services for over 7 years. I pride myself in providing clients with up to date research and evidence-based practices.

Are you feeling trapped? Stuck? Held hostage by the circumstances of your life? Do you feel like you’ve tried everything, talked to multiple therapists, gone to every alternative healer, read every book you could get your hands on, only to find you’re repeating the same patterns, dealing with the same triggers, stuck in the same job, lost in a cycle of addictions? What if I told you it didn’t have to be this way? What if I told you that healing, freedom and growth are always possible? When you learn to live with self love and connection, your Soul can truly lead, and you will see a transformation of your inner & outer worlds!

Life presents us with challenges that can interfere with health and wholeness. We each have the ability to approach and integrate these challenges, yet it is easier with support. I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years, and so far have come to appreciate the work I do, as I learn from my clients' resilience and inner strength to overcome the challenges and issues that come across their path.

Have you experienced a traumatic event that has been difficult to recover from? Do you experience nightmares or memories related to this event? Has the impact of this trauma prevented you from living the life you want? If you feel lost or stuck in the trenches of a past trauma, I can help. I have extensive experience with assessment and treatment of trauma related disorders, including posttraumatic stress disorder. This includes adults who have been impacted by childhood abuse, interpersonal violence, motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries and chronic medical conditions.

Therapy is a unique individual journey that requires trust, honesty, and authenticity at its core from day one. I strive for all these qualities with clients and to use my clinical skills to foster successful healing and growth that addresses current mental health challenges and in the pursuit of long-term sustainable mental health and wellness. My clinical practice is grounded in an anti-oppressive, anti-racism, and social justice foundation, and I specialize in individual therapy with adolescents (ages 12-19) and adults of all ages.

We all carry multiple stories about our selves, our lives, and our experiences. There are parts in our stories that are sometimes hidden from our awareness. It is in the calm noticing, re-discovery, and re-telling of our stories that we can find and connect with parts of ourselves that may need healing, and also parts of ourselves that are insightful, strong, and brilliant even in the midst of hardship and darkness. Through facilitating, witnessing, and holding space together, we can engage in our personal work of healing. I look forward to connecting with you.

The Calgary Counselling and Psychology Centre is a psychology practice in South Calgary. Our psychologists have varied therapeutic orientations and clinical trainings and will work with you to find the right approach for you and your goals. As an agency we aim to support people in reconnecting with themselves, creating meaningful relationships with others, and building a sense of empowered agency in their lives. We often work with people who are struggling with mood (e.g., anxiety and depression), navigating historical or recent trauma, feeling disconnected from themselves and others, or are looking to heal their relationships.

When it comes to living, life can be full of stressors, disappointments, changes, challenges and losses that can cause a range of emotional, mental and physical responses. In therapy, I take the approach that all experiences, both internal and external, can create opportunity for growth, fulfillment and greater meaning. Counselling services can range from short-term solution focus treatment to longer-term therapy/analysis. The treatment plan will depend on your individual needs, the preferred outcome, your ability/willingness to access services and ultimately, the best course of treatment for your unique situation.

Motherhood can be both exhausting & magical. Sometimes it is portrayed in a way on social media that looks vastly different from your reality. Are you feeling overwhelmed with worry & "what-if" questions in pregnancy? Do you need to process your birth experience? Are you struggling to feel like yourself in postpartum? Do you feel like your relationship has changed since becoming a parent? Are you burnout from the many demands of motherhood? I support women in every stage of parenthood from fertility, loss, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting. You are not alone in these struggles & you don't have to face them alone either.

I believe that people achieve the best results when they are in an environment where they feel genuinely heard, welcomed, and understood. I offer my clients a comfortable space to voice their personal concerns without any judgement. I enjoy working with youth, adolescents, adults, couples, and families that present with a variety of different concerns. I have acquired valuable experience from my time with Calgary Counselling Centre, Distress Centre Calgary and within a school system in Calgary.

My client group consists primarily of adults although I also see adolescents. I work with clients who present with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, domestic violence, workplace issues, and trauma.
