Self Esteem Therapists in St Albert, AB

Frustrated that anxiety is interfering with your work, relationships, and/or happiness? Has anxiety impacted your self-esteem and left you feeling "not good enough"? Whether due to situational stress, traumatic events, or ongoing mental health conditions, I help clients identify unhelpful patterns of thinking/behavior and offer concrete strategies to shift such patterns. I use evidence based treatments (CBT, CPT, PE, EMDR, ERP, exposure) and a practical, solution-focused stance to help clients reach their goals. I also have a background in sport coaching and a special interest in performance anxiety.

At times in our lives we experience challenges that feel overwhelming. No matter what is tried, nothing changes and sometimes things seem to get more cloudy, confusing and distressing. My hope is that through learning to approach challenges in a new way, and make sense of where you find yourself - you might find new ways of coping and growing. With a focus on integrative therapy engaging both the brain and the relationships we experience I employ a compassionate approach, seeking new ways of thinking, feeling, and being.

I work with all age ranges from adolescents to adults, and strive to create a non-judgmental safe space.
