Autism Therapists in Edmonton, AB
I believe in the innate resilience of each person. I aim to make the counselling relationship a space where you feel safe, comfortable, and accepted—a space where it is okay to be try new things, to gently step out of your comfort zone and where your own resilience can emerge.

Hi! Do you ever experience big emotions? Well, of course you do, we all do. Navigating emotions can be tricky whether they are your emotions, your child's, or even a loved one. If you have ever experienced anxiety, feeling different, struggling with perfectionism, trauma or maybe neurodivergent, I would love to be your advocate and help you through this delicate stage in life.

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, hope, and happiness. I pay close attention to what is said, in addition to what is left unsaid, to uncover patterns of core beliefs.

“Life is tough” - reading that phrase might really resonate with you, but it might also seem like the understatement of the year because in fact, life feels impossible and unbearable. Or maybe, you feel that the word “tough” is too strong and life is actually going ok, but there are some rough spots you could use help with. No matter where you are in life, what’s happening, or how challenging you may find it, you are never too broken for help and you deserve to be supported. Reaching out is a great first step and then together, we can make a plan based on your goals for therapy that will complement the uniqueness of you.

I do not believe in pathologizing individuals based on their diagnoses, symptoms, or challenges. Instead, I approach therapy as a collaborative and compassionate process, recognizing that healing happens within the context of trust and connection. To support this, I offer a no-commitment consultation to explore whether I am the right fit to support you on your journey. The most effective therapy is built on a secure and trusting relationship, and I deeply value the opportunity to walk alongside those who invite me into their healing process.

Hi there! I am a dedicated and relational therapist who believes each person has a unique and valuable story to tell. I aim to help individuals process their pain and distress while also learning to view themselves with greater acceptance and compassion. In my practice, I specialize in the complexities of anxiety symptoms, whether it's tied to perfectionism, obsessive thoughts, self-esteem, sleep issues, concentration/ADHD symptoms, trauma, or overwhelming stress from commitments. Acknowledging the impact anxiety may have on our relationships, I also hold specialized training to work with relationship anxiety and sexual concerns.

I fundamentally believe that all human beings desire to feel connected, to belong, and to feel loved. Somewhere along the road, we have become disconnected, both from each other, as well as from ourselves. My goal is to have the therapy room be a safe space to repair your relationship with yourself, as well as those around you. To do this, we must build a strong therapeutic relationship. Working with marginalized populations provided me with the invaluable skill of being able to connect with people from all walks of life. Regardless of their socio-economic status, age, race, sexual orientation or gender.

Society used to look at mental health issues as something to be ashamed of, but we don't have to any more. Mental health, like physical health, is something that absolutely everyone must work at to feel good. It's rewarding work, but it isn't always easy. Traumatic events or even just daily struggles can sometimes lead to addictions, poor relationships with others, or strong feelings of disconnection and worthlessness. The resources we need to stay balanced, to grow, and to feel whole are within each of us, but sometimes we have trouble finding them on our own.

Life doesn't unfold neatly; neither does healing. The complexities that life throws at you can feel very overwhelming. Yet these experiences, though challenging, are also avenues for positive change. Together we will not only explore these aspects but also unravel your strength and resilience that often remain hidden beneath the surface. Through your journey I aim to not only help you find relief from pain; but also to empower you to transform these challenges into stepping stones toward a brighter future, and a more Authentic YOU! I promise to provide a safe space where you feel accepted, heard, respected, supported and understood.

I offer virtual therapy to clients located in Alberta and the NWT. I work with individual teens and adults, and have a background in working with 2SLGBTQ+ folks, neurodivergent folks, and others navigating social justice issues (e.g. workplace discrimination, eco-grief) and systemic oppression (e.g. racism, colonialism, ableism, fatphobia, misogyny). I am especially passionate about supporting clients in their growth and healing from grief, trauma, complex trauma, and attachment/development wounding.

Changes in one's life can result in many possibilities that can be overwhelming for some, and exciting for others.To manage the changes that occur in our life, we create our own personal safety net as a means for protection and safety from the potential dangers that can be brought on from change.However, an over reliance on these personal safety nets may lead to feeling like being imprisoned and trapped inside one's shell. This could eventually result in feelings of depression and anxiety.
