Therapists in T8N

At times anxiety, depression and/or trauma may impede an individual's natural ability to cope. I believe when a safe and supportive environment is created, individuals may openly explore their struggles and find healthier ways of coping. I have many years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families regarding development, disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders, and brain injury/stroke. For the past 10 years, I have specialized in supporting sexual and gender diverse children, youth, and families.

There are many reasons why people pursue counselling. Some want to address specific problematic behaviours. Others, long-term difficulties that have not yet been resolved. Some want to find alternate ways to cope while others want to discover more about themselves in order to live life more authentically. Whatever your concern, it is a privilege to support your personal therapeutic goals on your own self-development journey. I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists and a member of the Psychologists Association of Alberta.

I have over 7 years of experience supporting the development of critical life skills for teens and adults with autism. This is a population that I consider to be my special interest and passion. I work with teens and adults of varying backgrounds, needs, and presentations who are prepared to explore their experiences, gain insight and make desired changes through a goal-oriented, strengths-focused approach.

As a Registered Psychologist, I specialize in using neurofeedback therapy. It is a very unique type of therapy that I find to be incredibly effective for many mental health concerns. Trauma, either physical or emotional, can cause the brain to lose its balance. Instead of medications, or talk therapy, we go right to the source of many issues, the brain. By training the brain to have better activity, you will notice improvements in many areas of your life! Sessions are relaxing (many people even sleep through a session), very safe, simple and effective.

I recognize that you are the expert in your own life and you will be treated as such. I will approach our time together genuinely and authentically. I have received a MSW with a Clinical Specialization from the University of Calgary. I bring over a decade of experience in the mental health field including working with children, adolescents, and adults with various diagnoses and complex challenges.

Working from a holistic frame, I believe that the source for all healing and lasting change is rooted in the mind-body-spirit triad, as well as the family-community connection. I support persons of all ages and histories in finding those resources that may guide them towards experiencing greater satisfaction in their daily living, sense of well-being, and in their key relationships. Using a variety of approaches, I tailor the therapeutic experience to best match each client's needs at any given point in therapy.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Do you experience intrusive negative thoughts that don't let you live the life you want to? Does your internal voice tear you down on a regular basis causing you to feel like you will never be good enough? Do you struggle with low mood, a lack of motivation, or heightened feelings of anxiety and or panic? Or, maybe you or your child are experiencing outbursts and behaviors that you can't seem to get under control, no matter how hard you try. These difficulties can be resolved and you don't have to struggle on your own. There are many strategies and coping skills that can help.

I draw from a diverse set of methods to meet your unique therapeutic needs.

Are you struggling with emotional and physical reactivity that you cannot seem to change? Have you experienced trauma that continues to impact you? Do you feel trapped by what feels like insurmountable challenges that you have not yet learned how to cope with and overcome? Anxiety, depression, physical ailments, parenting challenges, relational difficulties, grief and loss, and so many more areas of suffering can pull us away from the life that we long to live. My aim is to support you through the challenges you are facing, equip you with new tools and strategies, and support you to move towards the life that you want to be living.

I approach my practice with genuine curiosity, calm, and a healthy dose of humour. I am passionate about working with youth and families.

Together we will work to increase connection, shift negative communication patterns, and strengthen understanding.

You are not alone. At REACH we build real connections with real people walking through our door. Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing-especially the humor part-and combined together, they create a healing force! We know that sometimes, life is just hard. It can come out of nowhere, but know that counselling helps during the tough times. It helps us endure when we don’t think we can, helps us recover from what we’ve survived, teaches us how to gain insight about who we are and find our way back to "our normal" when we feel lost and alone. We are here for you.
