Therapists Beginning With A in Alberta

I am here to listen and here to help you find the solutions you need to 'thrive', not just 'survive'. I value the creation of a comfortable, secure, 'worry-free' environment where people can feel safe in working through their problems without the fear of judgement or being forced to work through issues they are not ready to address yet. I provide assistance that is tailored to your needs, gathering comprehensive information about your difficulties and considering a wide range of treatment techniques. The choice of effective treatment arises out of an honest and open collaboration between you and me.

I am a registered psychologist with over 10 years of experience. I see adults and couples. I have a holistic approach, embracing spiritual, mental, emotional and physical aspects of our being. The focus is on awareness, mindfulness, heart meditation, and mind–heart-body integration. I use various body-focused methods, archetypes, imagery and inner child healing, as well as dream analysis and more. I will fully meet you where you are and help you reconnect to yourself and embrace all of you so that you may experience harmony and peace in your life.

We all deserve to experience life to the fullest and to enjoy rewarding relationships and happiness. Sometimes, our past or current experiences interfere with this and it can be very helpful to speak with a professional to help you overcome obstacles and enhance your well-being. My work with you will be one of empowerment, helping you to master your own individual healing and personal development. I will support you in healing your past, coping with the present, and envisioning a desirable and rewarding future in all aspects of your life.

I work with individuals in Alberta (in person and virtual) and New Brunswick (virtual sessions only) who are feeling caught in problem behaviours, relationships, and/or feelings. Issues I work with include: Alcohol, drugs, food, body image, relationships, sex, video gaming, gambling, shopping, as well as anxiety, anger, low motivation, emotional dysfunction, and more. I provide a safe, non-judgmental place to talk about what is happening in all aspects of your life and provide feedback and strategies for outside of sessions. My team at Sana Psychological (Kayley Kearney and Jennifer Turner) provide support in many areas. Thank you!

In short, I help men live from a place of greater wholeness and connectedness to Self.
