Gottman Method Therapists in Calgary, AB

It can be difficult to go to counselling, particularly for the first time. Finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with is an important, and at times challenging, process. You likely want someone that can give you direction or tools, but also you connect with and feel supported by. I too feel this is important and strive to provide you with an experience that is both warm / caring AND competent/ knowledgeable. For many years I have worked with individual's and couple's concerns in this manner. I specialize in helping individuals or couples move forward, heal their pain, feel happier and find more peace.

Hi there. I help people who struggle with feeling disconnected from others or themselves, and with folk who believe they "aren't enough" despite continuously working to help themselves and others. More than ever, we are feeling anxious, burnt out, and overwhelmed about how we can fully engage in our lives, careers, and relationships. Pushing away our needs or struggling to find the first step can lead to emotional, mental and physical exhaustion. I believe that life doesn't have to be so hard.

Life can often resemble a complex puzzle, with both challenging and stable moments. At times, it may feel like we're tackling this puzzle all alone. That's where the power of therapy comes in – think of it as having a helpful teammate on your journey to feeling better. Even if it doesn't seem obvious, the key to finding balance and contentment is already within you. My role is to guide you in unlocking that inner potential by shedding light on your thoughts and emotions. This is the first step toward creating a more harmonious and fulfilling life.

I specialize in supporting individuals with PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress, burnout, shame, trauma, interpersonal issues, and increasing confidence. I also work with couples to help work through tension and any issues within the relationship. I believe you are the expert in your life, and I am here to support, provide insight, and perhaps offer a new perspective to your experiences and struggles.

Relationships in our lives present us with an infinite number of experiences that bring successes, challenges and everything in between. The stories that we live everyday contain relationships that form the foundation of our mental and physical well-being. There are times when we want the current stories in our life to continue and at other times we hope and need for something to change so that we can live the life we desire as an individual and in relation to others. Regardless of the challenges you are experiencing there is a way to find a path forward towards a desired story that will bring fulfillment and joy in your life.

Bravery is described as “courageous behaviour or character” and I truly believe that identifying a need for change and seeking out the support to do so is an act of bravery. As a therapist, I strive to develop genuine and non-judgemental therapeutic relationships. I practice from a holistic perspective using evidence-based approaches to provide my clients with the tools necessary to create meaningful change, improved emotional health and resiliency. ​

I specialize in understanding the difficulties, stressors, and experiences involved in the perinatal and postpartum period of new parenthood. The process of fertility, loss, pregnancy and postpartum can be isolating. Those times also bring considerable physical, mental, and personal relationship changes, impacting every part of life. Navigating relationships, self-esteem, stress, burnout, depression, anxiety, and trauma is not unique to new parenthood. I also have a focus on young adults and professionals in the medical field, who frequently face intense and exhausting challenges

Life is good - but it can also be overwhelming and stressful. We do our best to survive each day, but there are seasons where we need support through the challenges and to move from just surviving, to thriving. I can help clients with burnout, occupational stress, difficulties with communication and dealing difficult people, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family of origin and attachment issues, (including parental abandonment or betrayal), substance abuse, addiction, self esteem issues and grief.

I am an open minded therapist who believes in a collaborative and supportive experience. I work from an evidenced based model and pull strategies from a variety of different therapies to help clients experience success and achieve their goals. I also have a strong and diverse assessment/diagnosis background and am able to provide diagnostic clarity when needed, both from a learning and psychological perspective. I very much believe in the strengths and resiliency of my clients and am proud to assist them in their journey of healing and recovery.

I have worked with many clients struggling with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, life transitions and parenting concerns. Many clients report experiencing benefit even after one session. Many people identify the courage and vulnerability it took to reach out, and noted relief after that first step. I provide a safe and accepting space.

I respect that everyone experiences life differently, coming to therapy with their own story. At times, the voice that tells the story may be self-criticizing and judgemental. My hope for our work together is that you come back to yourself and recognize your inherent strength and capacity for growth. Working from an attachment-based and trauma-informed perspective, I will meet you in a space of authenticity and vulnerability as we explore your inner world and help you develop a stronger and safer connection to self, others, and the world around you. All of you is welcome here, and it is my pleasure to join you.

This could show up as overwhelming emotions, difficult thoughts, behavioural concerns, issues in your relationships, or even physical symptoms. You want to find your way back to a path of hope, balance, and wellbeing in all areas of your life and my goal is to walk alongside and support you on this journey.
