Geriatric Therapists in Calgary, AB
Salam and hello! A client once shared a quote by Ram Dass that deeply resonated with me: “We’re all just walking each other home.” Every time I support someone on their journey, I feel honoured.
I believe that strength lives within all of us, though it can feel hidden during life’s hardest moments. My role as a psychologist is to create a trusting, judgment-free space where you feel safe to explore, heal, and grow. Through a collaborative approach, I help clients recognize their resilience and move toward meaningful change—at their own pace, in their own way.

Many people seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck — emotionally, relationally, or internally. You may be living with the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, or painful relationship patterns, even while appearing “functional” on the outside. What you may truly want is not just symptom relief, but a deeper sense of connection, stability, and wholeness — with yourself, with others, and with your life direction.
I am a Registered Psychologist in Alberta and an EMDR-certified clinician specializing in trauma, PTSD, and attachment-based therapy.
I offer counselling in English and Mandarin.

Midlife can feel quietly overwhelming. From the outside, you may appear capable and composed, yet inside, you feel stretched thin, uncertain, or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps your children are more independent, relationships have shifted, your body feels unfamiliar, or you’re questioning your purpose after years of caring for others. You may be juggling work stress, aging parents, health changes, or a sense of loneliness that’s hard to explain. This stage of life was meant to feel empowering, yet instead it can bring anxiety, grief, self-doubt, and the pressure to keep holding everything together.

Anxiety, depression, interpersonal difficulties, stress, and life transitions can make you feel stuck in life. Shame, guilt, and stigma associated with mental health concerns make it harder to reach out for help. In our sessions, you’ll find a space of authenticity and support, where you can be completely yourself—without judgment. I will walk this path alongside you, creating a safe environment where you feel comfortable sharing your deepest thoughts. Together, we will work toward clarity, resilience, and a future that feels right for you.

Many clients come to therapy wanting clarity around patterns that feel confusing or repetitive—reactions that seem automatic, emotional loops they can’t explain, or beliefs that feel deeply rooted. They’re often looking for a therapist who can guide them through understanding these patterns in a structured and transparent way. Andrea works with clients who want to explore the deeper themes shaping their responses, and who value an approach that offers insight, direction, and a clear plan for the work ahead.

Therapy for Healing, Clarity, and Change -
Hi, I’m Angela. I work with adults who are ready for meaningful change — healing from the past, improving relationships, easing anxiety or burnout, and reconnecting with themselves.
Life can pull us in many directions until we lose touch with who we are. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from holding everything together on your own.
Therapy can offer a space to pause, breathe, feel understood, and begin moving toward the life you want with greater clarity, confidence, and peace.

Working from a holistic frame, I believe that the source for all healing and lasting change is rooted in the mind-body-spirit triad, as well as the family-community connection. I support persons of all ages and histories in finding those resources that may guide them towards experiencing greater satisfaction in their daily living, sense of well-being, and in their key relationships. Using a variety of approaches, I tailor the therapeutic experience to best match each client's needs at any given point in therapy.

My work focuses on helping individuals who feel out of place in this world connect with their deepest and most truest Self. Maybe you feel like an alien in your body. Maybe your emotions swallow you whole. Maybe you're so tired, overwhelmed, and depleted that you don't even know who you are anymore. Whatever the reason may be for feeling like you don't belong, be it to yourself or to the world, I offer a unique type of counselling that aims to reconnect you with the version of yourself that feels like its been lost, or perhaps never found.

You’ve always known there’s more to healing than quick fixes. You sense your body’s wisdom, but somewhere along the way, it has become overshadowed by noise, doubt, or fatigue. Together, we will reconnect you to what you already know: your own ability to grow, tap in, and transform. The time you take to be with me is about curiosity, deep feelings, and seeking clarity. I won't promise to fix, heal, or know anything. I will remind you to advocate for yourself, your health, and whatever it is that you want for yourself, (even if that is figuring out what it is you want!)

Founder of Illumination Therapeutic Services. Evening and weekend appointments available. I hold a deep seeded belief that we each are doing the very best that we can in any given moment. I believe no one is exempt from struggle and at times it is difficult to know how we got to this painful place, and at other times an event (trauma) takes place which can leave us not recognizing ourselves or our life. I offer a safe validating space to heal and rediscover how you want to show up in your life. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or wanting support, please reach out to me. I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey.
