I am a clinical psychologist and I have been in practice in Edmonton for over 35 years. I am the co-owner of Edmonton’s Centre for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CFCBT).

You spend so much time worrying, it’s impacting your health, your work, and your relationships. You can’t fall asleep at night as your thoughts are racing. You aren't able to relax as you are so overwhelmed. You never feel fulfilled and you’re constantly striving for perfection. You’ve tried everything and don’t know what else to do. Does that sound familiar? I work with adults, teens and preteens and specialize in anxiety, OCD and the impacts of trauma. I provide warmth, compassion, and a new perspective.

Do you have thoughts that scare you or make you feel ashamed? Do you wonder why you're having them and what they mean? Does it feel wrong/irresponsible/risky/dangerous to ignore the thoughts? You try to solve, figure out, and get rid of the thoughts quickly. You argue with the thoughts, but your mind argues back. You spend a lot of time distracting yourself and avoiding anyone or anything that triggers them. You’d give anything for the horrible thoughts/feelings to stop, but no matter what you do they keep coming back. You just want to feel better and live a normal life. If this sounds like you, I might be a great therapist for you.

Do you want to feel more connected to your partner? Do small arguments turn into big blowouts? Do you need to rebuild trust so you can move forward? Passionate, fulfilling, and once-thriving relationships get "stuck" sometimes and partners shut down, become defensive, or passive-aggressive. Many of us lacked examples of healthy relationships in our childhood and this is reflected in our current relationships. But relationships can become “unstuck” when partners gain a deeper understanding of one another and learn healthy communication to reduce conflict.

“Smooth seas don’t make good sailors”--It's a bitter truth-- No One escapes the challenges of Life. "What’s the purpose of therapy?” I believe we are all leaders of our own lives. Whether we choose to believe so or not, we are still leading our lives everyday with the choices and decisions we make. We can either decide to make unconscious decisions, or we can finally learn about ourselves, and take charge by making more conscious decisions that will improve the quality of our lives. Therapy is learning about and then empowering that silent leader within you. "Life is a dance between what we can control and realizing what we cannot"
