Alberta Blue Cross Therapists in Calgary, AB

Those who choose me to join them on their journey of self-discovery or healing may be struggling with the impacts of trauma, navigating substance abuse, or feel impacted on a daily basis due to mental health concerns or other tough situations that come up in life. I enjoy working with children, youth and adults in individual and group settings. My clients want to feel heard, seen, respected and acknowledged as the special person they are. They are looking for creative solutions, a down-to-earth approach and someone to hold space through the messiness of life as a human and all the emotions and experiences that come with it.

I have over 20 years of counselling experience working with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings. I have experience working with clients struggling with a diverse range of issues including life transitions, stress management, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, anger, family of origin issues and substance abuse. I admire the courage it takes to seek counselling to work through life’s challenges. I strive to create a safe, non-judgemental, compassionate environment that is built on respect, warmth, openness and honesty.

In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, ADHD, and trauma. I also offer assessment and diagnostic services (i.e. ADHD, PTSD, etc.). Life can be hard sometimes, and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they're struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers, caregivers, and empaths and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you're tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or simply want to feel better emotionally, you've come to the right place.

Besides providing social work services & counseling to English speaking clients, I would like to use my expertise to serve Chinese. It is very beneficial to have someone who knows your culture & language to listen and to talk to. Speaking the same language can help capture the subtle cultural meanings from our conversations & lead to a deeper understanding of your needs. I am also a Regulated Immigration Consultant and can provide advice on immigration matters.

There are many reasons people may come to therapy; they might have a specific challenge or life event they are struggling with, they might be feeling stuck in certain habits and patterns that do not serve them, they may notice that past events are negatively impacting their thoughts and behaviours now, or they may want to develop a deeper understanding of who they are to engage more fully in their life and relationships. I approach this work with curiosity, compassion, respect, and humour. I believe therapy should empower people, help them to be more in control of their lives, and heal or enhance relationships with self and others.

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist currently taking new clients. Therapy is a collaborative process that focuses on healing and increasing mental wellness. Change your unwanted behaviours into tools that will help you heal using cognitive behavioural therapy. Find your inner voice and express your experiences to those people around you with narrative therapy. For experiences that defy words, art therapy helps you to communicate those experiences, and to externalize your negative feelings and behaviours, so that you can explore and assess them safely.

Change is an inevitable part of life. When people come to therapy, they often need support to adjust to life's transitions or make intentional changes in their lives. In our work together, we will build a collaborative relationship that responds to your needs and strengths– aligning you with the goals, values, and hopes that will carry you through change. While we may spend some time understanding your past, our work will mainly be focused on building health in the present and creating the future you want.

From a young age, I knew I wanted to help others, especially those that seemed to have slipped through the cracks. I started my journey as an in-home aide where I taught life skills to children with special needs and supported their families to learn strategies to make everyday life easier for the whole family. I understand this is an uncomfortable and awkward spot you're in. I am here to ease your mind in this process and make you as comfortable as possible. My clients have told me I have a calm and confident presence. I have a deep passion for my work and I hope to project this when we meet.

Creating a safe space to explore, understand and connect with yourself on a greater level. I have over a decade of experience working with many individuals who have required support in their mental health journey. I specifically specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma or who are impacted by intrusive thoughts. I take great joy and appreciation supporting clients in their transition where they start form struggling in these experiences to being able to get to a place where they can thrive, and feel more connected to themselves and the world around them.

You're overwhelmed and second-guessing everything. Often you feel like a failure and an imposter and wonder how you got here. Some days you’re the man you want to be, and others, you’re barely holding it all together. There are days when you feel lost, hopeless, and lacking direction. Stress, anxiety, fear, anger, and even depression are negatively impacting your relationships, your work, and your sense of confidence. You want so much more from your life but are not sure how to get there.
