Career Guidance Therapists in Edmonton, AB
Hi! I am a Provisional Psychologist working 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.

I believe people desire to grow, and talking with an empathetic, supportive clinician helps them to process thoughts and feelings. This in turn helps clients to gain new insights, perspectives, and understandings, leading to a healthier mental/emotional existence. When individuals get sidetracked by life’s challenges, those challenges need not be faced alone. I am able to work with clients to collaboratively inspire hope and gain skills needed to move forward. Often times, it is "adding a tool to the toolbox" that helps us effectively cope and navigate crisis and personal problems.

I work with already-stable individuals who are looking for more in their lives: more peace, more freedom, more happiness, more fulfillment, more effectiveness, deeper relationships, more meaning. I work with them in any of their life contexts: home, work, family, relationships, friends, spirituality. My clients want to be even better human beings and live more fully aligned with their deepest values. They know there's a "next level" and are looking to build their capacity to get there. They want a trusted partner to assist them on this journey.

Connection with others is vital, offering us a sense of safety, support, and belonging. Yet, there is so much in life that can block our ability to feel safe in relationships. Past traumas, emotional wounds, or unresolved issues may cause us to fear vulnerability or to build walls as a form of self-protection. Trust issues, negative experiences, or unhealthy patterns of relating can block the sense of safety that is needed for deep connection. Ultimately, people want to experience relationships where they are loved for who they are, where they can grow and evolve, and where connection offers a sense of wholeness.

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.

Having trouble navigating life's stressors and feeling overwhelmed with where to start or how to cope?
Perhaps past traumas are rearing their head, making it difficult to stay focused. Maybe it's interrupting your relationships and affecting areas of your life where you once felt in control.
Are you seeking to reconcile and move forward in life with a sense of autonomy, awareness, and compassion for yourself?
Maybe it's burnout, relationship stressors, or an undiagnosed mood disorder that’s proving to be challenging—and you're seeking some reprieve.

I am a Registered Psychologist with a focus on nature and equine-assisted therapy approaches. Instead of conducting my therapy sessions in an office setting, I typically work with clients outside in the presence of gentle horses. I rely on an Integrative Approach to therapy, leaning heavily on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy approaches. I provide online sessions upon request.
I work with children, youth, and adults as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, ASD, ADHD, LGBTQ2S+ concerns, relationship challenges, parenting, and major life transitions.

Many clients come to therapy wanting clarity around patterns that feel confusing or repetitive—reactions that seem automatic, emotional loops they can’t explain, or beliefs that feel deeply rooted. They’re often looking for a therapist who can guide them through understanding these patterns in a structured and transparent way. Andrea works with clients who want to explore the deeper themes shaping their responses, and who value an approach that offers insight, direction, and a clear plan for the work ahead.

Hi there. It’s easy to feel like you should have it all together—even when things feel heavy underneath. Many of the people I work with are carrying anxiety, trauma, burnout, or are stuck in addictive patterns involving a screen. There’s often pressure to keep going, even while something deeper is asking for attention. Therapy can be a space to pause, get honest, and reconnect with what actually matters. My role is to help you better understand yourself, work through what’s getting in the way, and move forward with more clarity and confidence. You don’t need to be in crisis or have the perfect words—just a willingness to start.

My clinical areas of focus are in navigating developmental and transitional changes of identity, relationships, academics, profession, changes related to acute or chronic trauma, and crisis prevention and intervention. I enjoy helping teens and adults manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD. In addition, I have experience providing interventions for concerns of emotion regulation, lack of motivation, executive dysfunction, cultural restoration, and preventative health care planning.

As a Registered Psychologist, I am committed to helping others live a life they deeply value, in spite of what suffering inevitably arises. I offer a respectful, confidential space where you will be supported in honest, non-judgmental self-exploration. Together, we can work on approaching your difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences in new ways: with compassion, understanding, and the courage to be vulnerable. My goal is to help you build behavioural flexibility, so that you are increasingly able to act in ways that align with your values, rather than rigidly re-cycling old patterns of behaviour.

I believe we all have internal strengths and resources to work through life's challenges. Sometimes we lose sight of these strengths, sometimes there are gaps in our skills set, or perhaps there are blind spots in how we view a problem situation. My role is to help clients explore, discover and understand themselves and to help clients learn new skills and strategies to address the presenting concern.
