Depression Therapists in Southwest Calgary, Calgary, AB

Many of us have lost touch, abandoned, forgotten, or detached from the things that make us unique, bring us joy, and motivate us to build the life that we want to live. This sense of loss can produce many side effects such as anxiety, addiction, and depression. It can also cause us to attract relationships or people in our lives that are out of alignment with our soul's essence causing conflict, confusion, and chaos. If you are feeling lost, alone, confused, anxious, or rejected by others and or yourself - these can be clues that you have lost connection with important parts of yourself.

I am here to help you build your awareness to expand your choices for wellness. I am not a healer, I am a helper for you to find your own way to self-healing. With compassionate curiosity, we can work together on depression, anxiety, anger issues, eating disorders, relationship problems, grief and loss, cultural/identity issues, gender and sexuality issues, parent-child conflict, intimacy and attachment issues, intergenerational trauma, abuse, bullying, behavior problems, soul wounds and health issues.

Our therapists want to understand the intricate details of your life that make you uniquely you and would be honoured to facilitate the process of your self discovery and healing. We love working with individuals in all walks of life including but not limited to individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, individuals wanting to improve self-esteem, those suffering from grief and loss of relationships, addictions, as well as those individuals looking for support with general life stressors.

I am a passionate and client-focused psychologist who is dedicated to supporting my clients as they experience various life challenges. If you are experiencing difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, grief or relational or emotional issues, you are not alone. I would love to empower you to walk with more clarity, confidence, and joy. I incorporate multiple therapy modalities including CBT, ACT, Emotion Focused Therapy, Emotion Focused Family Therapy & DBT.

I think everyone should have a therapist. I realize how self-serving that sounds, but if we see a medical doctor on a regular basis (yes, you should do that too!) for our physical health, why wouldn’t we have someone in our pocket for mental health as well? If there is a stigma around mental health, there is stigma of having a therapist as well. I regularly meet with people that have never accessed a mental health professional and after one session you can see the anxiety leave them as I help take away those social pressures and instead focus on you, that’s what I want, to be team YOU!

In a society bombarded by messaging that constantly encourages the pursuit of happiness through self-actualization, it’s no wonder people find themselves stuck in the cycle of pursuing self-growth and happiness and are often left feeling disappointed, anxious, and disheartened. Our brain is wired for survival, and sometimes, we need to remind ourselves that we don’t just want to survive, we want to LIVE.

Welcome! I am honoured to walk alongside you as you begin this journey. I understand that past experiences and life’s challenges can make people feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unable to cope. I use a gentle, compassionate and relational approach to create a supportive space for you to explore your inner world, discover parts of your identity, nurture a sense of meaning and purpose, and heal connections with yourself and others. I believe that people, as experts of their own lives, possess inherent strengths, abilities, and capacities that pave the way for desired growth and healing.

Accepting New Clients! You want to live a meaningful life where you have strong and healthy relationships with yourself and others but something has gotten in the way of that. It may have been experiencing trauma as a child or adult, experiencing dysfunctional family dynamics, suffering a loss, or other difficult life experiences.

I offer culturally sensitive counseling both in English and Spanish. I believe that understanding someone's culture and world-view is a key element in the therapeutic work. For over 20 years, I have helped clients from different cultural backgrounds suffering from depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and trauma. I work with adults, couples and families facing life crisis such as divorce, relationship problems, parenting issues, grief, career change, health concerns, abuse, etc. I can work with you to help you process challenging present and past experiences to facilitate your journey towards personal healing and growth.

I have experience working with a variety of client challenges, including relationship challenges (e.g. family conflict, polyamory/open, infidelity, sexuality, attachment patterns), anxiety, depression, identity concerns, life purpose, and transition. I have specialized experience in suicide bereavement, and my predominant areas of practice include grief, attachment, and trauma. My training in somatic attachment is rooted in rewiring the patterning of our interpersonal relationships, which directly impacts how we emotionally process and behave within these relationships.

Life has a way of throwing curveballs our way, but we don’t have to face them alone. Whether you are facing life transitions, trauma, loss, depression, or anxiety, having someone to journey with can make all the difference in your journey towards healing and flourishing.

You're struggling. Perhaps you can't sleep anymore, or you are seeking comfort in all the wrong places. Maybe you're depressed, finding it difficult to get out of bed and come out from under a cloud of ever-present despair. Maybe you're anxious - heart pounding, sweaty, shortness of breath, obsessive over simple tasks. Perhaps you are drinking too much or using drugs. You might even just be tired, withdrawn, sure that there is more to life but not sure what to do about it.

My approach to my work is grounded in honesty, openness, trust and humor. In a world that is fast paced and sometimes unkind, my intention is to offer a gentle, understanding space where you can start to understand yourself, your emotions and take away tangible tools to help you continue to show up authentically. My goal is to help those I encounter leave feeling empowered with desire to thrive in their personal journeys, no matter what this may look like for you.
