Therapists in Sherwood Park, AB

Are you looking for a caring and competent therapist? I am a Registered Counselling Psychologist with over 25 years of experience in helping people overcome life's challenges, achieve their goals and live more satisfying lives. I will listen to your concerns and provide a warm and supportive environment for us to find solutions that work well with your personality and in your unique situation. My areas of specialty include working with trauma related concerns (including PTSD), depression, anxiety, stress and relationship issues.

I work with adult individuals to guide them in managing anxiety, stress, self-esteem-related issues, and depression. I especially have a passion for working with individuals who are experiencing grief around breakups. I put emphasis on being empathetic, genuine, and kind-hearted towards all clients as I feel so honoured to be able to have the opportunity to hear clients’ unique and individual life stories. I love guiding clients in reaching their goals of seeing peace again in their life and to find hope for the future. I want you to know you are not alone and I am willing to work with you wherever you’re at in your healing journey.

I believe that we should all have the skills and tools to be successful and resilient while finding your voice. I believe that confidence and self-esteem are important in our lives and that our goals should be consistent with our own desires. I work from a holistic perspective and hope that even though the skills we work on may be sport-specific but that you can adapt those skills to work in other areas of your life. My goal as a sport and performance psychologist is to help change sport and performance culture to be a more healthy community while also reducing mental health stigma.
