Divorce Therapists in Edmonton, AB

I am a Registered Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree, specialization in Clinical Social Work. My primary area of focus is divorce and separation, working with the entire family, children (over 12) and individuals going through this big family change. I work with families in the Collaborative Family Law Process, voluntary process, or with those under court-ordered interventions. I believe in early intervention with families going through this difficult time prior to conflict escalating, however if conflict is set in then a direct, solution-focused approach is key.

I have expertise working with children, adolescents, couples and families. This includes work with high risk youth, work with children who have been abused or neglected, and work with families in crisis. I have extensive Court experience, and have been appointed as a expert in the areas of counseling and clinical psychology. I have been appointed as a Parenting Expert in clinical interventions and custody evaluations. I have supported couples in developing skills to strengthen their relationships. I have experience assisting children, adolescents, and adults in dealing with anxiety, depression, Post traumatic stress disorder, Bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric diagnoses.

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 specialize in trauma related symptoms and concerns. As an EMDR certified therapist I can help with complex trauma, relational trauma, phobias, mood and relationship concerns. I offer treatment intensives and day retreats. Depression, anxiety relationship concerns are often symptoms of trauma and we can explore healing further with EMDR and somatic therapies. I also support individuals and their family members struggling with stress, behaviour problems, communication difficulties, marital concerns, and co-parenting issues after separation and divorce . often a little help can change the direction to a more positive one.

I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Saskatchewan and am interested in helping and supporting clients through the difficulties they face such as: depression, grief, anxiety, stress management, relationship challenges and divorce , grief, identity and life/illness adjustment and transitions. My approach to treatment is evidence based and I work collaboratively with my clients. My background is in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and I integrate interpersonal therapy into my treatment approach. Additionally, I am able to provide forensic services including assessment and treatment.

I believe we are all coping as best we can, and there are times in our lives when we can use extra support and guidance in seeking clarity and direction. My goal and wish for my clients is that out of pain and despair, comes peace, freedom, and ultimately joy. I feel truly honored to hear people's stories and my desire and motivation to work collaboratively and respectfully with people at their own pace is genuine. With my help as your therapist I will provide a safe healing environment and help you develop a healthier and more rewarding approach to life.

Individually, I work with clients that present anxiety, depression, infidelity, divorce /separation, workplace stress, and dysfunctional family dynamics. I would help provide clarity for clients so they can take appropriate action to solve/heal the problem. For couples, I focus on the relationship that I witness in the room. My goals is to re-establish intimacy for my clients by taking them through a journey of risk taking and vulnerability; thereby, creating a strong dependent relationship as well as strong independent individuals.

We are compassionate and experienced Psychologists who have supported adults (16+) in various capacities, since 2004. We know that people are resilient and strong but certain life circumstances can be difficult to overcome for most. We have several specialty areas that include working with: 1. people who have gone through a car accident, 2. people who are looking to get over their breakup/ divorce , and 3. people who have experienced trauma (due to military service, emergency responding, or sexual abuse). Currently, we provide only online counselling and have flexible hours.

Grief is a deeply painful, lonely, and isolating experience. When someone we care about dies, our relationship ends in divorce , or we experience any of the other 40 forms of loss, we often feel unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with our emotions. The wonderful news is, grief does not have to be a life sentence of suffering. There are actionable tools that can help you to move beyond the pain caused by a loss in your life. Whether you are grieving due to a recent loss or a loss from long ago, it is never too soon or too late to heal your heart.
