Veterans Therapists in Calgary, AB

I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds, and who present with a variety of psychological concerns. However, I'm most enthusiastic about working with folks who are undergoing significant life change, or who feel that a major change might be necessary. I'm also a keen supporter of mental wellbeing in veterans and first responders, expatriates and immigrants, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I see clients either online, or in person via the Safe Haven Counselling clinic in northwest Calgary (www.safehavencounselling.org).

I have had the great privilege to work with a diversity of clients. Throughout my 30 years in the field, I have worked with individuals, children/adolescents, couples, families, and more recently worked with veterans , military members, RCMP, and first responders. I practice a milieu of modalities and use talk therapy, and non-talk therapy to address areas such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, emotional regulation, trauma, and so much more. My key focus when working with clients is being their support on their journey of change. Keys to my success with clients are trust, understanding, and working together to find mental wellness.

Working with a variety of emotional vulnerabilities I strive to work with those who are motivated and committed to themselves and their personal journey of healing. Emotional growth is hard work that requires true desire from those in its pursuit; I will work as your team to help guide you, encourage, and validate your efforts throughout your journey. With experience in addictions, sexual & domestic violence, veterans , as well as inpatient and outpatient populations, I approach every case through a trauma informed lens with ultimate compassion.

My purpose is to help those with trauma find peace. Trauma has many faces. From haunting memories, and dreams to feeling anxious, angry, and depressed. Ties with friends and family can also be hurt. As much as trauma is painful, it is treatable. Over my 20 years of work, I have become an expert at building coping skills and helping others heal. I have had the honour to work with Canadian military veterans , RCMP, Calgary police, Paramedics and other professionals. I am also experienced working with persons who have been abused by their family and loved ones, motor vehicle accidents and other serious traumas.

Our mission is to provide psychological services (psychotherapy and assessments) to people of all ages and families with a variety of issues, and from different backgrounds. We offer support to children, youth, adults, and families who have a variety of difficulties, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Specific Learning Disorder (SLD), Giftedness, Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), Tic Disorders, anger management, emotional self-regulation, defiance, divorce/separation, grief, and parenting issues.

Initiating any type of therapy can be intimidating. My approach is to offer a welcoming, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood as we work together on your treatment goals. I work with individuals on a wide range of mental health-related issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, parenting, burnout and workplace issues. Over the years, I have worked with clients from a variety of fields, including first responders, veterans , health care workers, teachers, executives, business and sales professionals, students, and stay-at-home parents.

Congratulations, reaching out for support or considering it is the first step to healing and resolution! Perhaps you are experiencing a sense of grief, loss, or burnout leaving you feeling stuck and unsure about what the future holds? Perhaps you are feeling adrift and need someone to talk to as you figure out what to do next?

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist currently taking new clients. Therapy is a collaborative process that focuses on healing and increasing mental wellness. Change your unwanted behaviours into tools that will help you heal using cognitive behavioural therapy. Find your inner voice and express your experiences to those people around you with narrative therapy. For experiences that defy words, art therapy helps you to communicate those experiences, and to externalize your negative feelings and behaviours, so that you can explore and assess them safely.

Painful and terrifying experiences that we experience in childhood as well as in adulthood, can have lasting negative effects on our lives. These experiences often leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, isolated and having difficulties managing strong emotions such as anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, shame and guilt. Taking the first step towards addressing these challenges can be anxiety provoking; my role is to join you on this journey towards healing.

I am a Psychologist with RGP Psychology. My goal is to help clients reclaim their lives by assisting them with overcoming trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger so they can feel like themselves again. I strive to be personable and approachable, taking care in creating a warm, respectful environment, and tailoring treatment to each client's unique needs and circumstances. I use a collaborative approach in my practice and value ongoing feedback from my clients, allowing for transparency, cooperation, and the development of a strong, effective therapeutic alliance.

Trauma can leave an imprint on our lives, but it does not have to be permanent. It may alter your foundation and leave you lost, angry, confused and in unbearable pain. I believe that choosing to rebuild this foundation through therapy is a courageous step in healing. It is not always an easy journey as we need to survey the land, start digging, install the foundation and work with any arising obstacles. This can be an exhausting and scary process but we will work collaboratively at your pace and create a resolution that fits for you.

I enjoy helping couples who are struggling to obtain closeness in their relationship together; their usual goals would be to improve their communication and overall connection. I also support individuals young and old who struggle to manage anxiety, depression, obsessions compulsions, traumas (i.e., military ), grief and loss, addictions (I.e., sexual). Their goals often become finding ways to process past hurts and learning how to manage their emotions in healthier ways. With trauma in particular, I find people need support to get past stuck points that make it hard to differentiate the here and now from the trauma itself.
