Therapists Beginning With M in Alberta

In this way, if a client wishes to incorporate their values and spirituality in therapy, I am happy to do so in a way that honours their own cultural or faith background.

Let's transform your stress, anxiety, and overwhelm into resilience, healing, and a strong path forward.
