SunLife Therapists in Southeast Calgary, Calgary, AB

Hello! I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with several years of experience in the mental health field. I currently work with adults, teens and children. I believe that strength is a characteristic that resides in all people. It can however, be difficult to see during times of hardship and vulnerability. I am committed to providing a non-judgemental safe space, in which clients feel empowered to make the positive changes needed to live healthy fulfilled lives.

Looking for something different? Maybe traditional talk therapy wasn’t working for you. Art therapy utilizes creative expression – in any way you want and need it – to further explore thoughts and emotions. Combining counselling and art therapy, we are making the internal, external in a tangible way. Sometimes words aren’t enough to depict exactly how we are feeling, and that’s where art comes in.We have been using art throughout history to express trauma, events, and emotions.

Welcome to STABLE GROUNDING PSYCHOLOGY. I am a Registered Psychologist with considerable experience providing mental health services. My approach is relationship focused to offer you safe and supported treatment involving genuineness, empathy, humor, and acceptance. Perhaps you feel stuck in patterns of behavior? Maybe you are struggling to make sense of your responses to challenging experiences? If you feel disconnected, confused, angry, fearful, frozen- you do not need to face this alone. I believe you are a survivor and I will meet you in caring connection.

Are you on the hunt for a safe space to work through some difficult life circumstances? You have come to the right place. I offer a very unique treatment approach in that I do not offer strictly 50 minute sessions. Instead, I have found it more helpful to provide lots of flexibility in scheduling, offering sessions as short as 30 min up to 2 hours. I work with individuals, couples, families and groups with common concerns such as managing life changes, coping with stress, dealing with depression and anxiety, managing grief and improving overall health. Please reach out today so we can connect and get to know one another.

Are you struggling to break your bad habits and keep healthy relationships? Maybe you're repeating unhelpful behaviors no matter how hard you try to change. Are you dealing with the consequences of impulsive decisions, losing control, or substances? Often, these actions are the ways you learned to cope with the stresses of life to protect yourself or overcome challenges during difficult periods. When these coping mechanisms show up in life and relationships, they frequently contribute to conflict and pain. I help teens and adults struggling with addictions, men's issues and anger management to move toward greater ease and enjoyment.

My areas of clinical expertise include anxiety, trauma and C-PTSD, dissociation, panic attacks, obsessive- compulsive disorder, parenting, relationship difficulties, couple and family issues, anger management, disordered eating, postpartum depression, managing emotions, addictions, sleeping issues, self-esteem, body image, nightmares, and others. I work with youth, adults, couples and families. I provide services in English and Arabic languages.

I am an open minded therapist who believes in a collaborative and supportive experience. I work from an evidenced based model and pull strategies from a variety of different therapies to help clients experience success and achieve their goals. I also have a strong and diverse assessment/diagnosis background and am able to provide diagnostic clarity when needed, both from a learning and psychological perspective. I very much believe in the strengths and resiliency of my clients and am proud to assist them in their journey of healing and recovery.

Do you feel unheard, angry, or ashamed? Are you stuck in the past or stressed about the future? Maybe you struggle with overwhelming feelings at home or work. Sometimes you doubt your own thoughts and judgment. It can be difficult to find a therapist who understands your unique emotional experience and mental health issues. It is possible to feel strong, energized, clear and in control. I have a passion for providing empathetic and culturally sensitive care to adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD. I am a Black Canadian from Kenya and I care, accept, and value each person I work with.

It is important as women and mothers we take the steps to care for ourselves, as we are being pulled in many directions throughout the day. As a parent, I was young, unprepared, and unsupported in challenges that I faced. This has led to my interest in supporting women and parents in their journey. I strive to empower all women to recognize the expectations that society places are not all attainable. You cannot be all of the things, all of the time, and it is okay to slow down and take care of you. I also specialize in working with teens and young adults who are struggling with pieces in life and transitioning to adulthood.

Does life keep catching up with you and knocking you off balance? Maybe you’re weighed down by worry, dread, exhaustion, or pain. Sometimes you look around and wonder, how did I get here? You might not recognize your work, relationships, body or home as they changed while you were busy taking care of everything and everyone else. Your empathy and compassion is a great strength, and yet there is a cost to caring that impacts your health and well-being. It is possible to find a good balance. I help people with chronic illness, chronic pain, trauma and PTSD to have more energy and enjoy a renewed sense of purpose in life.

I believe there is an innate strength in all of us; I also know that living a fulfilling and meaningful life can be a profoundly challenging task. If you are struggling with a life transition, depression, anxiety, or behaviors and emotions that aren't comfortable for you, counselling may be able to help you shift things. A therapist with compassion, empathy, and a base of knowledge about human behavior and psychology can be an extremely powerful agent in achieving change.

I am a Registered Psychologist offering compassionate care by video or in person in Calgary, and online in the Northwest Territories and across Alberta. With dignity and respect we can approach the troublesome barriers, pain, or patterns keeping you stuck. Together we can explore and restore what is valued and meaningful, whether that be related to improving your personal well-being or your relationships. I strive to offer a safe and confidential space for diverse individuals including sexual & gender minorities (LGBTQ2S+), as well as individuals from all religious, spiritual, ethnic, cultural, and racialized identities.

While it may take courage to reach out for a first therapy session, nobody is meant to face life's difficulties alone. In my practice, I primarily support those struggling with grief and loss, anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, emotional regulation, difficult or unexpected life-transitions, communication, and finding a healthy balance in one’s life. In my Counselling and Spirituality Master’s Program, I was taught to consider the whole person in treatment. In this way, if a client wishes to incorporate their values and spirituality in therapy, I am happy to do so in a way that honours their own cultural or faith background.

It's tough just getting through the week sometimes. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or burnt out? Maybe you're experiencing intrusive thoughts, worry, or negative self talk. Are you losing sleep or dreading work, school, or home? We know you want to feel better, in control, and able to move forward. At Therapy Alberta, we offer online therapy and counselling where you can find safety, acceptance, and success no matter where you are in Alberta. Our therapists can help you release guilt, shame, and tension from your body and mind. You can feel better, enjoy life, and relate better with others.
