Family Therapy in Edmonton, AB

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.

As adults, we are often called to a process of unlearning and undoing on our journey toward internal fulfillment, happiness and peace. If you feel lost, hopeless and engulfed by life's challenges, you are not alone and in the right place. It starts with choosing to embark on the healing journey, find happiness, and cultivate the life you genuinely desire. They say pain can be our greatest teacher, and I can assist you with the tools and support as you embark on your journey of personal transformation and self-discovery.

I am a Registered Psychologist who is passionate about working collaboratively with clients to overcome a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, coping skills, emotional regulation, grief, self esteem, self harm and life transitions. I utilize a variety of therapeutic perspectives including Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural, Attachment, Solution Focused therapies to develop my client's strengths and resources in a safe, respectful, and accepting environment. I believe that within each of us, lies the capacity, strength, and resources to overcome life challenges.

I am a registered psychologist specializing in Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and PTSD. I previously conducted research at the University of Alberta, designing a treatment center intended to treat children of sexual abuse. I completed my Master's degree in counselling psychology at City University in Edmonton, Alberta. Prior to that I completed two Bachelor degrees in Psychology and Organizational Studies with a specialization in human resources. I aim to provide my clients with as much time and comfort as they need until they feel safe and secure.

Have you been struggling with feeling like something’s not quite right? In your relationships, your life - or within yourself? You may feel like you’re ‘not good enough’. Maybe something happened with your partner or you had a difficult childhood that is causing you pain and upset. Present-day circumstances, and events from your past, can both be contributing to how you’re feeling right now. I’m here to tell you that I specialize in helping people to heal within themselves, their relationships and to create new pathways in their body, mind and spirit to feel whole, precious and well again, or perhaps for the first time.

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.

Unhappy? Anxious? Hopeless? Losing control? Dysfunctional upbringing? I help individuals and couples with a history of anxiety, anger, panic, relationship issues, shame, trauma, rigid thoughts/behaviours (like cleaning or repetitive fears), PTSD, work stress, ineffective communication, worry, shyness, uncontrollable thoughts, binge eating, phobias, depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), physical symptoms, parenting struggles, feelings of disconnect, numbness and more. It feels hopeless; maybe it’s been this way for as long as you can remember. Change feels impossible, but it isn't.

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.

Is anxiety, low self-esteem/self-worth, or stress impacting your relationships or work? Do you feel stuck moving forward towards your goals and aspirations? I am passionate about working together to explore blocks that may be preventing you from being fully present with life. I will help you tap into your internal strength when faced with life's adversity and learn the importance of human resiliency when facing challenges on your journey. I am inclusive and culturally sensitive and create a space for you that is respectful of differences.

I have a strong interest in working with adolescents and adults who are struggling with substance use issues. Working from a client-centered, harm reduction approach, I am committed to assisting you in achieving a better quality of life. I am also passionate about helping others deal with grief and loss, relationship issues, depression and anxiety, and I believe all individuals have the capacity and strength to change and achieve their goals.

If you are dealing with addictions or emotional challenges I look forward to working with you. One can often feel alone, feel that no one understands and fear being judged. I will support you by creating a safe space to work through the problem. Issues such as relationship conflicts, addictions, anger and stress can impede your daily functioning. My goal is to help you identify potential causes and find healthy ways to resolve issues and to guide you through those vulnerable moments.

Whether it is depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, addictions, grief, or any other concern that may impact mental health negatively, I can help. I take pride in providing a culturally-sensitive environment where my clients can feel safe and be candid. I provide support to my clients by assisting them in fostering problem solving techniques and coping strategies that have the potential to have an immediate positive impact.

Are you experiencing burn out, chronic stress, anxiety, or depression? Talking to a psychologist can help. It is common to feel unsure when taking the first step towards working on your mental health. I aspire to ease any uncertainty by compassionately supporting my clients through any concern they wish to explore in our sessions. In my experience, each client’s story is unique. Once I gain an understanding of your individual preferences, strengths, and goals, I will customize an approach drawing on my experience with evidence-based practices to support you in your circumstances.

I specialize in facilitating the journey towards post - traumatic growth following trauma, PTSD, attachment injuries and similar adversities. Are you experiencing prolonged periods of distressing thoughts, memories, dreams or physical reactions? Do you feel detached and avoiding certain people, places, situations? Do you feel chronically tense, numb, sad, helpless, angry? Are you experiencing strong negative reactions to unexpected sounds or touch? These are some of the most frequent reactions reported by my clients after experiencing psychological trauma and attachment injuries. What is post - traumatic growth?
