Therapists in T8N

We specialize in helping people find a therapist who is the right 'fit' for them. We have created a team of psychologists & counsellors who will give the tools you need to rebuild & move forward with your life. We help women and men, couples, kids, teens, & families heal and grow through life's challenges and transitions. Our team specializes in treatments for anxiety and depression, trauma, relationship problems, grief and loss, addictions, stress management, life transition (including divorce, relocation and family/life stages), ADHD, behaviour problems and OCD with kids, as well as personal growth and development.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with chronic stress and emotionally drained from the issues and conflicts in your life? I can help you navigate and cope with whatever challenges you're facing. My results-oriented approach helps clients move through the counselling and mediation process efficiently, without the need for long-term, ongoing therapy. I specialize in couples counselling, separation and divorce mediation, family mediation, and parent coordination. With over 25 years of experience in conflict resolution, I have developed an approach that helps clients resolve issues quickly and efficiently to move forward and enjoy life fully.

Life transitions, daily stressors, trauma, and mental illnesses can negatively influence the way we think, feel, and behave. These factors can cause us to feel "stuck" in old habits and patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that no longer serve us. I recognize that when we are stuck, it is difficult to make that first step towards change and reach out for support. Hence, I acknowledge you for making the first step into finding what works best for you. I understand that you want to take charge of your mental and emotional pain so that you can unlock your utmost potential.

I have the passion dedication and desire to help people achieve their best version of themselves. I am empathetic and pride myself in building therapeutic relationships with my clients. We want you to feel comfortable here at Motion Forward Counselling and offer mobile mental health services by video or phone. Providing services in clinic or community such as coffee shops or outside in nature. With a profound respect and understanding of cultural diversity and inclusion towards all our client is key to our practice. We are NIHB providers and work closely with the Indigenous communities providing services in English and Arabic.

I help people overcome anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship issues, and many others. I ensure that my clients have the tools to maintain the gains they have made with me. The services I offer are effective, efficient, collaborative, and affordable. I have an extensive clinical and academic background in psychology, psychiatry, and pharmacology. Moreover, my education in the humanities and my personal varied background helps me serve clients dealing with multicultural, cross-cultural, and family matters. I have been in a private practice since 2009 with 25 years of experience in the field. I also teach at MacEwan University.

Quite often, we manage our biggest challenges with strength and confidence. And yet, there are times when we need an outside perspective that provides clarity, hope, and courage. Each individual has unique strengths and qualities, and my job is to help you connect with the inner strength that makes you resilient and prompts fruitful actions. I have thirteen years of experience helping individuals with depression, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, marital conflicts, workplace conflicts, and other issues. I have two Master's degrees, one in Social Work and the other in Special Education/Education Psychology.
