Anxiety Therapists in Calgary, AB

*NOW ACCEPTING NEW 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.

Learning about yourself is an enlightening and important process. Therapy is personal. It’s about your life, passions, desires, and challenges. Finding the right therapist for you is key in your therapeutic success. My strength as a psychologist comes from my ability to build relationships of trust with patients, guiding them on a journey of self-discovery and healing, while leveraging my experience in both clinical assessment and talk-therapy to design an approach that creates momentum.

When is it time to seek a therapist? There is no hard and fast rule; however, if you are having recurring worries, personal or interpersonal problems, or difficulty managing in other important areas of life, and the way through is elusive – I can help. I believe it is possible to develop constructive approaches to life challenges that foster resilience, reduce stress, and strengthen coping skills to result in a life of intention rather than reaction, that is heartfelt instead of numb, and the ability to move from confusion to self-awareness.

I am a registered psychologist who specializes in working with Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults struggling with Anxiety , ADHD, Depression, Low Self-Esteem, and Behavioural Issues. Coping with social anxiety , self-hate, school problems, or behaviour outbursts is hard to do alone. I can help you and your child take the first step in creating change.

*I am accepting new clients. My services are available province-wide via Zoom video, in-person at my Calgary office, or by telephone* I specialize in PTSD/CPTSD, trauma, anxiety , depression, borderline personality, OCD, and relationships within couples and families. I also work with Veterans, RCMP, and First Responders. For those with financial challenges I offer interest-free payment plans. I am LGBTQ friendly, accepting, and an ally.

It can be frustrating and confusing when life looks good on the outside but doesn’t feel good on the inside; feeling tired, overwhelmed and disconnected from the things you worked so hard to have. Therapy may seem like one more thing to do in an already busy life, but there is a part of you that knows it could make a difference by helping you feel more confident, connected, present, energetic, successful, clear-headed, and fun. As a Ph.D. level Clinical Psychologist, I have spent the past 10 years successfully treating adults with depression, anxiety , OCD, insomnia, perfectionism, life stress, and relationship difficulties.

Life can present us with some difficult challenges, but we do not have to face them alone. I provide a safe environment to help you gain the tools to promote growth and healthy changes necessary to move forward. In my 20+ years of experience in this field, I noticed that people often find this process enjoyable and rewarding. Common referral issues include anxiety , boundaries, depression, self-esteem, and workplace bullying. I also provide psychological assessment and consultation to individuals and families faced with disabilities and learning challenges. It is my honor to help you.

This wasn’t the way it was supposed to be. You want to appear like you have it “all together”, but deep down you are anything but. Stressed out, anxious and full of self-doubt, you feel alone and overwhelmed as you struggle with unexpected challenges. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who has clinical experience and life experience because therapy should be a place where you feel safely guided by someone who can offer ideas and strategies when you feel stuck.

As a Registered Psychologist since 1999, I have worked in a variety of settings including not-for-profit, public school system, university and health care. I currently offer therapy to children, adolescents and adults around a range of clinical issues including anxiety , depression, emotional dysregulation, AD/HD, LD, social problems and/or stress. I offer psychoeducational assessments for children and adults for queried Learning Disabilities, AD/HD and/or Asperger's. My therapeutic approach is empirically supported by best practice research. I have a strong interest in the mind-body connection and I employ Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) based approaches to treatment.

Stressed? Stuck? Anxious? Angry? Depressed? Conflicted? Whatever your situation, lean in to calm and caring counselling geared toward personal growth and change. I value the opportunity to counsel school aged children, adolescents, adults/seniors. My goal is to assist you in building skills for increased happiness and well being. My mission: To inspire you to become your best YOU.

In challenging times such as those we are experiencing today, it is only normal to feel overwhelmed, anxious, angry and sad. Our world and the life we knew have changed. Some of us lost their jobs, some of us lost activities which were close to their hearts, some of us lost their dreams and plans, and some of us lost their loved ones. Covid-19 constitutes a universal struggle, and it also imposes additional distress for some of us who were already coping with mental health issues. While Covid-19 forces distance, you don't need to be alone with your pain. I believe that every struggle is also an opportunity for personal growth.

In my work I strive to collaborate with clients to explore themes of connection, choice, responsibility and personal growth, and how in doing so, a person can build a meaningful life. I work alongside clients to strengthen their capacities, amplify their voice, and enact change. Drawing from a variety of counselling modalities allows me to meet the individual needs of each client. I incorporate elements of cognitive-behavioural therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques into my practice.

I believe empathy, collaboration, and warmth are key factors to develop a strong and safe therapeutic relationship that will support meaningful goals for change. I am a PhD trained clinical and health psychologist working in private practice and with Alberta Health Services. I have expertise working with couples and adults with a range of health and mental health concerns such as pre/post-partum anxiety /depression, gynecological issues (e.g., vaginismus/vulvodynia, desire, functionality), chronic/acute illness (e.g., cancer), concurrent disorders, anxiety and mood disorders, stress and adjustment, and relational difficulties.

Accepting Clients for in-person or online sessions: Whether you're experiencing general unhappiness or attempting to manage a personal loss, trauma, substance use, anxiety or depression, I'd welcome the opportunity to hear your story, explore solutions or offer strategies to enhance your health and well-being.
