So many of our emotional wounds are created in the context of early relationships with others, so it makes sense to me that the genuineness, attunement, unconditional love, and healthy boundaries modeled within the therapeutic relationship can be so healing later in life. I take great pleasure in providing people with these potentially “missed experiences”, because the world is simply a brighter place when we feel seen, heard, understood, and SAFE. With your permission, I will challenge you. Together, we'll courageously work to align the mental, emotional, and physical aspects of your being to foster a greater sense of wholeness.

What would you be doing if your mental health improved? Or what do you wish you were doing to improve your mental health? Would you be more involved at school or work? More physically active? Starting new hobbies? Showering more? Whatever it is that you would be doing, I want to help you get there. Mental health is complex and includes our physical health, social health, and our ability to do things that matter to us. To honor this, I use a comprehensive approach that focuses on helping you live the life you want regardless of it your barriers are primarily physical, mental, or social in nature.

My main goal is to provide a warm, accepting and nurturing environment in which my clients can explore their vulnerable places and grow from them. Often our life circumstances, or even those of our parents and grand-parents, have led us to mistaken beliefs about ourselves, our worth, and our place in life. When we examine these beliefs in a realistic and compassionate manner, we find ways to change that we never believed were possible for us. I have witnessed many such changes over the years, and I believe that a full and happy life is possible for all of us.

A movie I watched recently resonated well with me as a woman of color. Some of the themes identified were of strength, courage, resiliency, growth, and empowerment. I value these themes and they are ones I try to bring into your therapeutic journey. I practice using an eclectic approach (CBT, CBT-i, DBT, solutions focused, motivational interviewing, ACT, EMDR. Certain distressing experiences may give rise to limiting beliefs that we may hold about ourselves, and through EMDR we can allow processing and desensitization to take place of these events, giving room to more adaptive beliefs about oneself.

Emotions provide us with a rich source of information about our basic needs. However, growing up many of us were taught to avoid emotions, which makes getting our needs met in adulthood difficult. There are also times when our emotions are not helpful. For instance, when emotions bring up memories of past negative experiences. These unpleasant emotions can endure long after the situation has ended and be so intense and overwhelming that it can make current functioning difficult. Painful emotions are difficult to express and feel, however, once these emotions are out in the open, healing can occur.

Life can be overwhelming at times, leading to feelings of disconnection and despair. Through connection, I believe healing occurs, as you are able to feel truly seen, heard and understood by another person. I strive to create a safe, trusting relationship where you feel comfortable to explore your inner world and work through the thoughts, beliefs, patterns and unhealed wounds that may be affecting you. As the expert of your experiences, you bring inherent knowledge of what is needed for you to grow and heal. Your wisdom and my knowledge of therapy allow us to work collaboratively to achieve your goals.

I provide a safe place to heal and change, with an open, warm and practical approach to counselling. Sometimes clients jokingly say, 'I have issues'. Well, we all have 'issues'. When these issues become overwhelming, I help you gain the skills necessary to move forward. I think expressing both "negative" and "positive" emotions are important to well-being. I consider therapy a success when you leave with increased clarity about the issues that you are dealing with, feel hopeful about addressing the challenges holding you back, and feel confident practicing new skills that you have added to your personal skill set.

As a psychologist, my goal is to help you overcome the various challenges and struggles that are negatively impacting your life. This can include anxiety and uncertainty about the future, emotional distress, grief and loss, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties, and traumatic experiences. This can also include feelings of general dissatisfaction and a desire to build a life of meaning and purpose. Whether you feel overwhelmed by the chaos of life or stuck in the mundane, therapy provides a safe place for you to explore patterns of thinking and behaviour and gain new insight into the challenges you are presently facing.

Feeling stuck? Over it? Ready to focus on wellness and well-being in your life? If you are looking for a safe, compassionate, accepting space to explore historical and present day troubles and concerns this could be it. I have had the honour of accompanying people on their journey to wellness for over 30 years, and am always inspired by the strength and resilience of the human spirit. My work has taken me to a number of different settings, including residential treatment centers for behavioural and emotional difficulties in children and addictions in young adults, First Nations communities, schools and private practice.

I am a Registered Provisional psychologist with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Alberta. My approach to therapy emphasizes the importance of confronting our painful emotions and experiences from a place of safety, curiosity, and honesty. I work with individuals and couples as well as teens and youth. I also have a special interest in working with men. I believe that men are often under resourced when it comes to accessing, expressing, and understanding their emotions, often leading to painful, yet avoidable, experiences.

Hi! I am a Mental Health Therapist working at Charis Counselling in West Edmonton. Clients I have worked with in the past have been willing to have difficult conversations with themselves and challenge the way they see and project themselves. While doing this, it is important to acknowledge that any type of positive change is still a step in the direction of their goals! With this balanced perspective, we can work to find the thoughts and paired emotions that are affecting your behaviours, and negatively impacting your life.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In Canada, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or province where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
How much does therapy cost?
Some forms of mental health treatment (for example, seeing a psychiatrist, or seeing a psychologist in a government-funded hospital) are free under provincial health plans. Canadians who seek private counseling can typically expect to pay an average of $150 per session, although the actual price generally ranges between $100 and $3200 per session, depending on their location and the type of provider they select. Workplace benefits or private insurance plans often provide an annual counselling allowance, and some therapists offer sliding scale fees to clients who cannot pay full price.
