Canada Life | Great-West Life Therapists in Red Deer, AB

I am a Registered Psychologist who has experience in both inpatient, and outpatient community settings providing individual, couples, family and group services to diverse populations and age ranges. I have extensive training in a number of therapy modalities however, I use an integrative structured approach to counselling mainly incorporating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and EMDR. I am also able to complete psycho-educational assessment, social-emotional diagnostic assessments, as well as cognitive and memory assessments.

Do you feel stuck in a cycle of overwhelm and exhaustion, often meeting other people’s needs, but having little left over for yourself? If you've gone through life without much emotional support, you've probably found ways to get your needs met that involve taking care of other people. You might feel guilty just thinking about doing something for yourself, or believe that if you stop to take care of you, everything else will fall apart. If this sounds familiar, I'd love to hear from you. In my practice, I help people connect with their underlying needs, shift old patterns and build a more supported life.

In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, ADHD, OCD, and trauma. I also offer assessment and diagnostic services. Life can be hard sometimes, and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they're struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers, caregivers, and empaths and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you're tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or simply want to feel better emotionally, you've come to the right place.

Currently accepting new clients for individual or couples counselling. Whether you're struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties, having a safe and supportive space to explore your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, as well as guidance to develop coping strategies is important. I work with my clients to help them find greater well-being, improve their relationships, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves. I can assist you in overcoming obstacles that have been holding you back and work towards a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and personal empowerment.

I am a Registered Social Worker with a Masters in Clinical Social Work, a certified trauma therapist, and a Trauma Informed Yoga instructor with over a decade of experience. I offer individual therapy sessions using a number if evidence based approaches tailored to your needs and goals acknowledging your individual story. My intention is to provide a space to support you in your journey to wellness and to reconnect with your potential to Heal Within.

Feeling really worried? Having trouble sleeping? Struggling to adjust to change? I can help. I work with adults to manage unpleasant emotions and thoughts; improve sleep; develop decision making and problem solving skills; deal with imposter syndrome; and cope with life transitions (i.e., becoming a parent/caregiver, changing job/career, moving to a new place, retirement, relationship challenges). Together, we can make sense of your current situation and determine how you can improve your wellbeing and overall life satisfaction. I have worked with diverse populations and welcome all adults.

Let's make sense of your concerns, find a clear way forward, and get you back on track. Inner balance and healthy habits are keys to growth and success, but aren't easy to develop. With proven approaches and a decade of practice, I help you establish lasting wellness and so you can stay on top of what really matters - your interests, responsibilities, and relationships.
