Geriatric and Seniors Therapists in Calgary, AB
Formally trained as an occupational therapist, I have 20 years of experience working as a mental health therapist with adult and geriatric clients.
Over the years I have had the honour of witnessing the change that people make when they engage in various forms of therapy and can attest to the incredible amount of strength and personal knowledge people bring to this process. Life often presents us with unexpected challenges that can feel overwhelming and insurmountable. Life transitions, stress, depression and anxiety can negatively impact our coping and confidence. These difficulties often become the dominant story in people’s lives and get in the way of engaging in life in the ways that they want.

Everybody needs help sometimes… and that’s okay! Sometimes we need somewhere to feel heard or to feel safe enough to let our guard down. Sometimes we lose sight of our inherent worth and value as a human being. And sometimes we need an avenue to help us better understand ourselves and the world around us. As we develop our therapeutic relationship, I will walk beside you as you take steps toward the life you want to live. Whether you’re struggling with day-to-day stressors, a significant life event, or symptoms of a mental health diagnosis (just to name a few), I am here for you.

I believe we are all made of stories. The stories we tell ourselves, and the stories others tell about us. I think these stories have the power to propel us to the top of mountains or drag us down into the mud. If this sounds a little messy, it’s because it is. Life is messy. Being human is hard, and you don’t have to do it alone. Our sessions together might involve going for a walk, or sitting with some trees, we might dance like nobody is watching, we might scream it out, or sit with the quiet; there will probably be swearing.
