Canada Life | Great-West Life Therapists in Calgary, AB

When it comes to living, life can be full of stressors, disappointments, changes, challenges and losses that can cause a range of emotional, mental and physical responses. In therapy, I take the approach that all experiences, both internal and external, can create opportunity for growth, fulfillment and greater meaning. Counselling services can range from short-term solution focus treatment to longer-term therapy/analysis. The treatment plan will depend on your individual needs, the preferred outcome, your ability/willingness to access services and ultimately, the best course of treatment for your unique situation.

My goal is to create an accepting and genuine atmosphere for my clients. I am passionate about working collaboratively with you to facilitate enduring intrinsic growth and an increased ability to live an authentic and meaningful existence. I believe that the definition of a meaningful life is unique to every individual, and therefore I seek to integrate your individual values and beliefs into therapy. I have experience with individuals, couples and families, as well as children and adolescents.
