Therapists in Edmonton, AB

In my work as a therapist, I help clients shift from just surviving to thriving. My focus is on creating safe trauma-informed spaces; meeting clients where they are at in life; and inspiring a compassionate curiosity about who we are how we might have arrived here, and what else might be possible. I help clients struggling with issues related to stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, parenting, relationships, mood disorders, and chronic illness/pain.

Hi! I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist currently accepting new clients at a private practice. I take a client-centred approach to counselling & work to collaborate with you to highlight your goals, explore solutions & improve your quality of life. I provide a nonjudgmental and strengths-focused environment & believe in being genuine and open-minded at all times. I think there is always room for positive change. I have worked with adult & adolescents with a large variety of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, stress, addiction, anger, transitional difficulties & relationship struggles.

In my work, I have been able to support my clients through depression, anxiety, emotional struggles, and post traumatic stress. I thoroughly enjoy working with adults, children and adolescents through all life stages and situations. I work primarily from a client centered perspective, meaning I believe that all people, regardless of their circumstances, have the ability within themselves to heal if given the proper tools and guidance. Attachment drives my clinical work, and I believe that healing happens in relationship both internally and within external relationships. I am also trained in the EMDR modality.

As the founding Director of Creating Solutions Inc. my practice reflects the Agency mission statement, "Creating strategic solutions through client capacities". My belief is, the client and their capacities are at the centre of co-constructing creative solutions to the various problems that bring them into therapy. My direct communication style is effective with clients who have been stuck in their interpersonal conflicts.

My practice centres on supporting healthy relationships including those we have with ourselves, which is foundational in influencing the relationships we have with others, including with our friends, our partners, our children, and our families. Many of us spend time, energy, and money decluttering our homes and workspaces. I believe our hearts, minds, and emotions deserve to be decluttered too. Some of us are holding on to emotions and habits that no longer serve a helpful role in our lives, but that can change. If you're reading this profile, you're ready for change. That's a good thing, and I can help you let go of the clutter.

Currently taking new clients. Do you feel overwhelmed, worried or stressed? Perhaps you are unmotivated, unhappy or lonely? Maybe the coping strategies you've used just aren't cutting it anymore. Are you wanting to change, but not sure how?

Accessing over 15 years of education and experience I provide counselling services to children, adolescents, couples, families and individuals. Some of the areas I have experience in include relational issues, addictions (impact on family members), anxiety, anger management, depression, parenting, grief and loss, stress, school problems, life transitions, workplace stress, separation and divorce, personal growth, self-esteem, co-dependency, and trauma. Each person's experience is unique and I value working collaboratively with each person to create meaningful therapeutic goals.

I offer professional counselling service that recognizes and appreciates each individual’s unique personality and circumstances. My goal is to help every client thrive emotionally, psychologically, and intellectually. I am equally as interested to hear a client’s story of trauma, loss, regret, loneliness, and difficult family dynamics, as I am to listen about times filled with purpose and happiness.

My passion for helping others started with working in homeless shelters. This experience instilled a passion to hear people’s stories and recognize each person as unique and valuable. One of the most difficult times that has shaped much of my journey as a therapist is my own journey being diagnosed with a critical illness near the end of my graduate training in 2014. This was one of those phone calls that I would have never imagined. It is through this challenging circumstance I was able to grow as an individual in walking through my own journey of healing, benefitting from some of the same evidence based practices I can now u
