I am constantly amazed at the resilience we all show, as we navigate our lives amidst the challenges that invariably arise! Sometimes the demands on us outweigh the resources we have available in that moment. It takes a courageous person to recognize the need for, and to request and accept, support. I am honoured every time clients invite me to join them along their journeys toward improved insight, skill, interaction, and overall living.

If you are struggling, know that you are not alone. Life can be hard. The idea that its supposed to be easy, or that if we struggle it means we are failing, or not enough, is wrong. These harmful beliefs along with our personal and difficult life experiences, can cause disconnection from ourselves and others. I believe this disconnection is the source of much of our suffering. I am here to support you on your unique healing journey as you rediscover the inherent resilience and capacity for healing and joy that has always been within you.

My purpose is to help those with trauma find peace. Trauma has many faces. From haunting memories, and dreams to feeling anxious, angry, and depressed. Ties with friends and family can also be hurt. As much as trauma is painful, it is treatable. Over my 20 years of work, I have become an expert at building coping skills and helping others heal. I have had the honour to work with Canadian military veterans, RCMP, Calgary police, Paramedics and other professionals. I am also experienced working with persons who have been abused by their family and loved ones, motor vehicle accidents and other serious traumas.

We all have experiences that turn our world upside down. These experiences can be anything, but when it happens, we can feel confused, lost, or stuck while struggling to adjust to our new reality. I aim to support clients so that they gain self-knowledge, build resilience, and feel capable in their "new normal." As a Registered Psychologist, I work with individuals (adult and teens), couples, and families to help them achieve and maintain mental wellness while going through experiences that challenge them. I believe all challenges occur within a context, so I include social and cultural factors into my work with all clients.

I operate from a trauma-informed person-centered approach, as I know that I am inviting clients to reveal vulnerable parts of themselves and should be met with nonjudgment and unconditional positive regard. My person-centered approach allows me to shift from a deficit based perspective to a strength-based perspective, allowing for a relational depth that transcends labels. My practice is grounded in providing affirming care to assist clients in embracing personal self-worth and bolstering personal agency.

I strive to hold safe space for people to manage their pain, healing and emotional wellness. I am a committed and experienced Psychologist dedicated to offering exceptional care and providing a full range of supportive, evidence-based and inclusive services. I work with children, adults, couples and families, providing assessments and therapy to support improved mental and emotional health, functioning and wellness. I help address concerns including learning and attention, behaviour, mood, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem, family, parenting and relationship difficulties.

My name is Arevik (Air-ah-vick) and I would like to help you find a clear path to the complex journey that you are currently on. Sometimes our lives can become foggy with life transitions, extra responsibilities, social and familial pressures... At times it can simply feel too much. We may start feeling overwhelmed, lost, and unmotivated about our next steps. Working harder does not seem to do the trick and soon, we end up burning out and feeling hopeless. I am here to guide you towards a more manageable path, one that feels more inviting.

Experiencing adverse life events like trauma during our developmental years can dramatically impact our quality of life. Because of the negative messaging you receive during this time, you likely have a diminished sense of self and struggle in your personal relationships. By challenging this programming and recontextualizing it, you can develop a new sense of yourself that is more resilient and better able to show up authentically in your relationships. Since trauma often occurs within a family dynamic, I am also able to effectively treat youths (12+) and families struggling with dysfunction.

If you are feeling overwhelmed with a problem or concern that you are not able to cope with on your own, there’s help and support available. I’m here to help you find healthy ways to cope and improve your life

Sometimes life is messy and complicated, and we don’t always have the tools or strategies to manage what comes our way. Sometimes we need a different perspective, or a challenge to see things in a new way. Sometimes we need to have the hard conversations. Whatever it is for you right now, welcome. My goal is to work with you to get you where you want to be. We'll do that using a variety of tools, techniques, and approaches throughout our counselling process, all the while focusing on our relationship (this part's key). We'll collaborate together and I'll seek your feedback along the way.
