Are you struggling with trauma that happened recently or long ago? Or does it seem like you've hit a brick wall with substances like alcohol or behaviours such as gambling? Are you experiencing overwhelming anxiety? If you find it challenging to manage your mental health needs, please consider the possibility you don't have to walk the journey alone. Let's collaborate to see what can be done to address your mental and emotional needs. We can create goals specific to your current concerns and discover what therapy approaches and strategies best suit you.

We enjoy helping clients of diverse backgrounds address both relationship and individual challenges. We provide empathic listening and a warm and safe environment to talk about issues.

We have experience working with a wide variety of issues including depression, anxiety, mood swings, low self esteem, out of control anger and addictions. (Visit our website for more information.)

My 20+ years experience working with couples and individuals will be noticed. Relationships, Communication, Men's issues and Identity formation are all areas I excel at. I also get to the heart of things efficiently and concisely. Those who have worked with me in the past really appreciate my warmth and how easy it is to get to know me. I am a registered counsellor with the CCPA, and have been a careful student of everything that can help a couple and consistently deliver excellence in the counselling experience.

Life at times may feel like a relentless struggle, filled with sadness, discouragement, and overwhelming despair. As a psychologist, with more than 20 years experience, I can support you to overcome challenges such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people pleasing, trauma, addiction, eating issues including binge eating, bulimia and anorexia and couples therapy. I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS), an innovative and transformative therapeutic model for emotional healing of eating disorders, addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.

Everyone experiences times in life where they feel that life is out of control. My goal as a clinical psychologist is to help recreate the balance that you are looking for. My main therapeutic orientation is Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is proven to be effective for depression, anxiety, addictions, anger, trauma and many other challenges that we face in life. However, therapy is catered to the individual and we can find a strategy that works best for you.

I work with adolescents and adults to facilitate meaningful change and assist individuals in overcoming challenges related to mental health and addictive behaviours. Many feel alone and isolated when navigating mental health issues so they feel overwhelmed and have difficultly seeing a path forward. Others have a sense of what they would like to achieve but are uncertain as to how to enact change in their lives. As your therapist, I will work with you to set meaningful goals and bring about changes that will restore mental health and well-being.

Accepting new clients. My practice welcomes individuals and families from different cultural backgrounds and offers a safe place to work together, share experiences, and reconnecting to relationships that are meaningful. I believe that everybody has goals and dreams that they want to accomplish in life. However, sometimes we encounter stressors which interfere with our daily activities and relationships. I will work with you, using different approaches, to enable you to cope with the stressors that are getting in the way. I believe in resolving conflict, pursuing happiness, and preserving relationships.

I am here to help. I embrace the "4C's" of my profession, an acronym that stands for caring, compassionate, competent, and well connected. You deserve the best, and that is all I offer. My ideal client is someone serious about improving, growing, and overcoming (or least better managing) whatever it is you need help with now. Please note that I live in Calgary and I offer live in-person sessions here, but I do see clients across Alberta via high-quality video software.

Do you find yourself avoiding difficult emotions, situations, and experiences only to bottle it up and have it become an impossible monster to face? Emotions are complex, wonderful, sometimes confusing, but always precious things. Sometimes they help us feel the best we ever have, other times they make us feel like we aren’t in control and feel our worst. Finding ways to express emotions from all levels of this spectrum is a fundamental tool I am passionate about helping individuals develop. You deserve to find joy every day, and feel confident in your skills to maintain it long term.

Do you find yourself avoiding difficult situations and struggling to break free of unhealthy patterns? My goal is to customize therapy to each client’s needs to help them make meaningful and long-lasting change, by identifying new tools and perspectives for familiar challenges and supporting clients in using these tools in real life situations. I believe with the right tools and support everyone is able to make the changes they want to see in their life. I am passionate about helping you find the right skills to make your change. I also offer psychoeducational, giftedness, adult ADHD, personality and intelligence assessments.

OFFERING EVENING AND WEEKEND SESSIONS! I am a registered psychologist who has been working in the helping field for over twenty years. While much of this work has focused on supporting at risk youth and adults experiencing or engaging in intimate partner violence, in recent years I have built a clinical practice that includes counselling adults, teenagers, and families with various combinations of mental health, behavioural, addiction, trauma and relational issues. Along with adults, I especially enjoy working with teens, families, and people who don't like counsellors.

Executive coaching, consulting and counselling for leaders and high net worth individuals and families. My education includes theory and practice in most major approaches in Psychology including Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioural and Humanistic-Existential in combination with hands-on management experience. I have worked extensively in the arts and media on performance, creativity and anxiety. With four degrees in Psychology including a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and a Certificate in Intercultural Studies, formal education has been invaluable. My best teachers however are my clients and life experience.

I have years of education and work experience, but more importantly, I have years of my own life experience. I'm a person in long term recovery from my own addiction and mental health concerns. My clients appreciate the many perspectives I can offer. The hardest part is asking for help, I'm here when you're ready to talk.

I see adult and adolescent clients from all sorts of different backgrounds, and who present with a variety of psychological concerns. However, I feel I’m especially well-suited to working with folks who are undergoing significant life change (e.g., job insecurity, divorce, bereavement, diagnosis, etc.), and who are experiencing anger, anxiety, or depression while traversing the flux. I’m also a keen advocate of mental wellbeing within a number of specific communities, including: veterans and first responders, men (cis and trans), LGBTQ+ folks, expatriates/immigrants, entrepreneurs, and people practicing consensual non-monogamy.

Being successful in overcoming depression, anxiety and other issues is no different from succeeding in other areas of life--following a proven method for success gets results. I will provide you with a plan to address your issue, help your learn the skills which are part of the plan, and give you regular assignments to do between sessions to implement the plan. As a competitive athlete, I have a record of overcoming difficult challenges on the way to success. I will help you use the skills I've used to persevere on the way to success in conquering your issue.

In my practice a core value and focus is to help you achieve a balance in overall health and wellbeing. I truly believe that with support, personal exploration and reflection that we all have the ability to build resiliency and bounce back from adversity. In my work with individuals and families I draw from both my professional and personal experience to engage with individuals on meaningful, collaborative, and supportive levels. My goal is to support you in overcoming life's adversity by setting goals, working towards improving your overall wellness, and to decrease stress in your life.

People have different needs in therapy - some want to be heard and make sense of their experiences, while others want to learn new skills to navigate problems. We can meet to process difficult experiences, cope with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, or change something about your behaviour.
