Therapists in Edmonton, AB

As a registered psychologist and having been in private practice for 14 years, I have had the privilege to meet and work with many wonderful couples, families and individuals. I strive to establish a solid rapport with clients in a comfortable environment. I have been told that clients appreciate my professional and direct approach that is not overly formal and allows for humour when appropriate. I use a biopsychosocial approach and incorporate several therapeutic modalities. I work to not only focus on managing symptoms, but getting down to the root cause of what is getting in the way of being able to achieve one’s goals.

My intention is to offer a space where you feel safe and welcomed, together we can untangle the thought patterns and emotions that are negatively impacting your life, process and gain the insights. I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Calgary. I have experience working with individuals with complex life circumstances associated with homelessness, domestic violence, substance-related disorders, and mental health issues.

“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 deserve to be supported through it and reaching out is a great step. Remember, you are never “too broken” to be helped and your problems are never “too small” to be worth asking for help.

Feeling anxious or depressed can get in the way of your work and personal life. You might have difficulty sleeping, trouble concentrating, low motivation, and suicidal thoughts. You might find yourself crying often, feeling on edge and easily frustrated. You may prefer to be alone and find it exhausting to respond to friends or family. It can feel like a chore to get up in the morning, and life can feel like more than you can manage. Daily tasks can become overwhelming to tackle, and you may feel shame and guilt about it all. Instead, imagine feeling confident, happy, and enjoying life. The right therapy can lead to these goals.

I am a therapist specializing in treating individuals who have experienced complex trauma resulting from unhealthy relationships, dysfunctional family systems, and adverse social environments. When we experience complex trauma, it can leave lasting effects on our lives that can be difficult to navigate on our own. It can impact the way we perceive ourselves, our relationships with others, and even our ability to regulate our emotions. This can result in patterns of behaviour that may feel out of our control. However, through therapy, we can begin to unpack these patterns and gain a better understanding of how they developed.

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with experience working for both Alberta Health, and Children’s Services. I have extensive knowledge of the supports and resources available in the community and enjoy working with people of all ages. I provide a safe, trusting, and supportive environment which is essential in your journey of health and wellness. I believe in empowerment as a tool for navigating the obstacles and challenges of life. We will work together to understand the barriers to your success and develop strategies to facilitate your personal growth and recovery.

Many individuals find themselves in stagnation in life, often stemming from trauma, burnout, or grief. This can manifest as overwhelming anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), low self-esteem, and difficulties adapting to daily life. Through my therapy services, I aim to assist individuals in overcoming these challenges in a holistic manner. I address the interconnected aspects of mind, body, and spirit, while leveraging their inherent strengths.

Hello, and welcome. I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor specialising in individual and group counselling. I work with adolescents (14+), adults and elders experiencing: grief and loss, anxiety, depression, purposelessness, existential angst, spiritual/religious issues and/or abuse, relationship difficulties, work-related stress and burnout, and life transitions relating to career/education, marriage, parenthood, divorce, retirement, ageing and dying.

​Life can feel chaotic and uncomfortable at times. I appreciate the opportunity to work with individuals, couples and family systems to make positive sustainable shifts. Engaging in therapy can be a challenge as the road is not always straightforward. I have confidence to be able to work with you on your specific goals and find meaningful change in the process. Utilizing evidence-based practice we will form an intention focusing on discipline and clearly defined treatment goals to give you the positive outcomes you are looking for. Life can be a grind at times and I believe in shifting gears:)

Therapy is an opportunity to find ways to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life. It helps in overcoming difficult symptoms or stresses, cope effectively with problems or bring positives into your life when things are going well. I work with people struggling in their family relationships, or those in high distress from loss, grief & trauma, or people trying to cope with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, or emotional pain. In my work with individuals I have learned that working from a broad base of theories and techniques is best integrated in the therapeutic work.

I am open to anyone who wants a supportive, collaborative relationship. Given my expertise in health psychology, my ideal client is an adult or child or family dealing with a health complexity and/or anxiety. I understand how difficult it can be to have your world shifted significantly with a health issue and how trying the process of treatment and the medical system can be. I truly want to hear you and help.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and struggling to cope? Do you need a professional who is respectful, gentle, and can provide a safe and nonjudgmental atmosphere in which you can voice your concerns? If you want to heal your emotional pain and restore your self-worth, please reach out to me. You don't need to go through this alone.

Hi, I'm a Registered Psychologist, however I take pride in not being a typical psychologist. Just normal conversations with practical strategies thrown in. I believe that my clients and I are a team, working together to achieve their goals. I work with preteens, teenagers and adults. My areas of focus include self-care, performance and sports psychology; anxiety; depression; dating/relationships; communication; motivation; anger management; and school/work performance.

Are you ready to feel connected again, to let go of trauma, dysfunctional habits, and fears that have prevented you from moving forward and reaching your goals? I can help. I work in the areas of self-esteem, emotional regulation, eating disorders, addictions, relationships, work, and overall fulfillment in life. Whether you are caught in destructive patterns, experiencing anxiety, depression, panic, unexplainable sadness, or disconnection from yourself, together we can work to help you gain a sense of grounding, safety, healing, and freedom.

We all have our strengths and do what we can to deal with life’s many challenges. But sometimes we feel anxious, hopeless, depressed or confused, and need to speak confidentially, without feeling judged - about the very personal things going on in our lives. As a psychologist who gets that it all starts with kindness, clients find me compassionate, down-to-earth, and relatable - a trusted, supportive listener who knows how to help. You’ll always get straight-up answers and full transparency. No two minds are alike, which is why I draw from several science-backed therapy methods to customize therapy for people I work with.

At Family Counselling Centres we recognize that therapy cannot be a one size fits all approach. Every individual is unique in how they respond to therapy. Accordingly, we utilize play therapy, animal assisted (horse and dog) therapy, EMDR, art therapy, filial therapy, sand play therapy, and traditional psychotherapy to provide clients with comprehensive care. We treat children, teens, adults, and families using both traditional and non-traditional therapies. We believe that people can live up to their full potential if a nurturing environment is available-- this is why we put such a strong focus on the family.
