Anxiety Therapists in Edmonton, AB

When I meet with a client, whether a child, teenager, or adult, my intention is to be present with them where they are, first as a human being; then to help them feel safe and comfortable with me and to bring my years of experience and training, along with their knowledge of themselves and their desire to change, to resolve what brought them to therapy.

I work with clients and their personal challenges with care, warmth, compassion, and curiosity. We explore the barriers that hold you back from having the life you desire. My focus is to guide you towards a deeper level of change. We do this by exploring the patterns keeping you stuck, beliefs that limit you, and thoughts that cause you distress. Often these patterns are rooted in the past due to early attachment, developmental, relational and shock trauma. Processing these experiences in a safe therapeutic relationship, allows us to heal the past and move to a place of authenticity, integrity, and satisfaction in our lives.

Establishing trust and a strong therapeutic bond with my clients is my top priority as a therapist; thus I use a person-centered approach to inform my approach. I like to provide structure through collaborative goal-setting, while remaining responsive to your immediate needs in our sessions.

I specialize working with Asian-Canadians and concerns relating to anxiety , depression, burnout/stress, life transitions, and career.

I work with anxiety , emotional overwhelm and burnout. Sometimes the little things become too much. Maybe you can't get a situation out of your head, are anxious/ hurt by something said or done or have the urge to walk away when you don't really want to. Maybe you want to speak up and set boundaries, release some of the emotional baggage that seems stuck and have more control over your emotions versus them controlling you. Sometimes our motivation is to stop passing on unhealthy patterns to our kids and not taking stuff out on those closest to us.
