Online Counselling for Southwest Calgary - Calgary

Accepting New Clients! If you've been through a traumatic experience, it's likely that you're in search of a therapist that specializes in trauma care. You want solutions, but with a caring, judgement-free space to process your emotions and experiences. I have spent over 5 years working with survivors of trauma of all ages and successfully helped them work through their healing process. By utilizing many forms of therapy, I can successfully tailor your experience to what works best for you. You're unique. Your therapy experience should be too.

For the last 16 years, I have worked as a Social Worker with countless communities, including racialized communities, sexual violence survivors, homeless folx, women, youth and families, addictions, and MVA survivors. I currently work for the University of Toronto as a Student Mental Health and Wellness Program Manager, a role focused on supporting and developing student mental health initiatives. Armed with both experience and understanding, I work to build trust and carefully tailored care for the communities I support; primarily specializing in trauma, mood, anxiety, and adjustment concerns.

As a clinical social worker I have had the privilege of walking beside acutely ill and often terminal patients (and families). Many times those patients struggle with severe addiction and trauma, and want to find a different way to live. Even if addiction or trauma are not the primary issues, the pain. suffering and fear that accompanies a life limiting illness, mood disturbance, relationship conflict or loss, can be extraordinary. I believe people are the experts of their own lived experience. My job is to provide compassion, insight and direction (when required) for that pain, with the intention of creating a healing path forward.

My approach to therapy is practical, creative, humorous, and interactive. Engaging in therapy is a vulnerable and courageous step, and I aim to foster a comfortable, collaborative process. When the tools and skills that were previously helpful are no longer working, I support clients to cultivate new coping skills, and identify potential areas for change and/or acceptance. I am a seasoned therapist who is able to draw from a variety of modalities depending on what comes up for the client.

My practice centers around creating a safe and secure environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. Through a collaborative and supportive counselling process, together, we can work towards gaining a deeper understanding of your experiences, developing new ways of thinking and being, and ultimately empowering you to create a more fulfilling and authentic life.
