I currently am certified to work with clients in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. We all move back and forth on the continuum of wellness throughout our lives. Events in our life and stressors we encounter can bring obstacles for us all. These obstacles can lead us to fall off the path of where we hope to go. Through some of these times, we may suffer from challenges like depression and anxiety, which can put up barriers that may feel insurmountable. We all require others on this journey in life. My hope for you is that I may be one of those supports in helping you get things back on track and living the life you want to lead.

Sometimes we all need a place to lay out the pieces of our story and make sense of how they fit together. Taking time to do this with care allows us to transform our relationship with difficult emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Please know that you don’t have to carry the weight alone. I believe change begins the moment we feel truly understood and seen. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where your humanness is honoured, especially the parts you tend to hide. You are the expert of your own experiences, and my role is to walk alongside you as you uncover insight and navigate life’s challenges.

Registered Provisional Psychologist, MSc

Are you holding everything together, while inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from always being the strong one? Are you constantly caring for others, keeping the peace, trying not to disappoint anyone, or carrying expectations that feel heavy and hard to name? Therapy with me is a space where you can finally exhale and let go of what feels heavy. I am especially passionate about supporting teens, adults, people of color, and immigrants navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, loneliness, and family pressures and expectations.

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.

Life’s challenges, both expected and unexpected, can sometimes leave us feeling stressed or overwhelmed. In therapy, I work with clients to identify what’s contributing to these difficulties and to build skills that support meaningful, practical change. A key part of this work often involves understanding how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact, recognizing unhelpful patterns, and developing effective coping strategies. We also work on taking constructive action, even when discomfort is present, so that you can respond to challenges with greater flexibility and confidence.

Parenting a gifted, intense, or twice-exceptional child is one of the most isolating experiences there is. You love your child fiercely — and you're also exhausted, overwhelmed, and running on empty in ways most people around you don't understand. Maybe you're also navigating your own anxiety, burnout, or the quiet weight of holding everything together for a family that needs more than most. I help parents of remarkably bright, complex children find their footing again — so you can show up the way you want to, for your child, your relationship, and yourself. If this sounds like where you are, I'd love to connect.

"Your spark can become a flame and change everything" Hi, I'm Tiffany Petite. I am an evidence based - practitioner who has extensive training and experience in counselling. Have you been stuck in a rut that you can’t get out of? The more you procrastinate the harder it is to achieve your goal to the point you start questioning yourself. This leads to self judgement, shame and blame. Change starts with a single point of action. If things are not going as planned, you are shifting the tide today. I would like to help you facilitate the change you are looking for.

Calgary, AB T2M
I have specialized training in CBT, EMDR, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy and Play Therapy.
As a psychologist I often hear "no one can help because no one understands!". Sometimes people feel overwhelmed and alone in the pain, fear and uncertainty. When chaos and crises are your daily reality, how do you manage? When you keep thinking about the horrible things that did or could happen, how do you stop? When you don't want to get up in the morning, how do you face the day? Honestly, I don't have all the answers but I have personally seen people find joy despite ongoing sorrow and I have seen tears and smiles coexist. I believe that with the right support, all people can explore how to find a sense of calm within the storm.

Perhaps you have spent much of your life being the strong one, adapting, coping, and caring for others while carrying burdens no one else could see. Now you may feel exhausted, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of who you are beneath the strategies that once helped you survive. Whether your life has been shaped by childhood experiences, difficult relationships, grief, illness, injury, trauma, or major life transitions, therapy can offer an opportunity to move forward with greater clarity, self-compassion, and purpose.

Something's been weighing on you, maybe for a while. It might be anxiety that won't quiet down, a relationship that keeps hitting the same wall, or a sense that you've been holding it together for everyone else and running low. Whatever brought you here, you don't need to have it figured out before we talk. I work with individuals, men, couples, and families. Some clients come in carrying old wounds that never quite healed. Some are navigating a life that's changed in ways they didn't choose. Some are men who've spent years managing alone and are finally ready for something different.
