Therapists Beginning With N in Alberta

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist that has been working in the Mental Health and Addiction field for over 7 years. I am passionate about helping people learn practical coping tools for overcoming anxiety, depresion, trauma, and addiction (behavioural and substance). I also specialize in working with youth and adults who have different learning, behavioral, cognitive, and socio-emotional challenges, including ADHD. Other common areas that I provide counselling for include life transitions, grief and loss, and stress management.

Feeling stuck? Over it? Ready to focus on wellness and well-being in your life? If you are looking for a safe, compassionate, accepting space to explore historical and present day troubles and concerns this could be it. I have had the honour of accompanying people on their journey to wellness for over 30 years, and am always inspired by the strength and resilience of the human spirit. My work has taken me to a number of different settings, including residential treatment centers for behavioural and emotional difficulties in children and addictions in young adults, First Nations communities, schools and private practice.

Many of my clients seek therapy for additional support when encountering unexpected challenges or problems without clear solutions. As a therapist, I focus on establishing a secure relationship with my clients, allowing us to speak candidly and get curious about current struggles. Because of their focus on personal development, many of my clients opt to receive ongoing support to process issues that arise over time.

In our lives we can have sadness, anxiety, anger, fears, work/ family stressors, negative self talk, and trouble setting healthy boundaries that sometimes are hard to navigate on our own. I want to provide you with a safe space to share and hopefully, together we can begin to find the best place to start making positive change! This type of therapy can also work well in conjunction with other therapy if you already have a regular therapist. Being a Certified Nurse (LPN) Psychotherapist, I can also support individuals with a well-rounded approach to health and can help you to navigate within the community.

It is my belief that therapy is both a dialogue and collaborative relationship between the therapist and their clients. I aim to establish a safe, trusting and encouraging environment for my clients. However, I also strive towards building resiliency, raising self awareness and connecting my clients to a greater sense of community. I enjoy working with clients from all age groups (children, adolescents and adults). I have been offering therapeutic services in the community for 6 years.

We all desire a life where we're not struggling with anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, trauma, setting healthy boundaries, anger, perfectionism, shame and guilt etc. Sometimes we feel no one understands! These are normal human struggles and there is no shame in talking to a professional. We seek help from doctors for physical health so why not for mental health? Healing the body, also requires healing the mind. I am also an EFT (Tapping) practitioner and I love EFT work since it has consistently been shown to be of great benefit, either as a stand-alone therapy or in addition to other modalities. Time to talk, tap or tap and talk? YES

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs last? Maybe you are just not feeling like yourself. More than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers, school and their lives. Pushing away your own needs and living in survival mode can lead to long term issues for your mind and body. We believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

Whether it be a recent ADHD diagnosis, facing challenges with navigating post-secondary, work, parenthood, relationships or a combination, experiencing trauma, anger, anxiety, stress, depression, questioning about identity, or coping with grief, I am here to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your emotions, thoughts, triggers, patterns and behaviours in or order to heal, and grow. Together, we can work towards finding clarity, resilience, coping strategies, and enhancing your overall well-being to navigate life’s complexities!

I offer weekday in-person and online sessions. Feeling unhappy, anxious, overwhelmed, alone, or having relationship difficulty? My goal is to assist in managing undesirable thoughts and emotions, facilitate connection and communication, and support steps toward your desired change. My approach is based on collaboration, openness, interest, and acceptance, which allows me to be genuine and thoughtful throughout your change process. As a registered psychologist, I work with adult and older adolescent individuals and couples in addressing a range of mental health, individual, and relationship concerns.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" - Lao Tzu Are you ready to take the first step? Working from a client-centered approach, I strive to empower my clients by helping them build a tool box they can use to work through their current and subsequent issues . This process does not follow a specific template as each client is unique and the expert of their own lives. It is through collaborative exploration that the client identifies what they need and how to get there.

I help individuals who struggle with difficult emotions such as anxiety, sadness, anger, shame, guilt, disgust and disappointment. You can develop critical skills to deal with your own thoughts as well as life stressors including relationship difficulties, work stress, life transitions, grief and loss, and chronic illness. You can learn to let go of past hurts and focus on the here and now. You can change your emotional response and behave the way you want in this world. Together, we address barriers to your well-being so that you can feel secure and experience a balanced, meaningful life.

Raising a child with emotional or behavioural challenges is overwhelming and can leave you feeling like you have failed as a parent. With my clinical experience, we can work together, on how you can enhance your relationship with your child and manage challenging behaviours. I will work with you to gain confidence and rediscover the joy of parenting. I have worked in different countries and I bring a broad range of experiences from a multitude of settings and I also work in Forensic Psychiatry.

Life can be confusing and lonely at times. Are you currently struggling with your self-identify, self-worth or self-value? Are you in a toxic romantic relationship that is making you feel less worthy on a daily basis? Are you struggling with establishing healthy boundaries with your family, colleagues or loved ones? Well, you have found the right therapist. Therapy, is a process of self discovery and self realization. Are there patterns in your behaviour or thought processes making feel disconnected with those around you? Is your past trauma, or childhood getting into the way of your happiness?

I practice from a client-centred, strengths-based approach. I believe that you are the expert of your own lived experiences, and strive to create a safe supportive environment for you to explore and work toward your goals.

Born and raised in Alberta, I’ve learned that nothing is ever as it seems. We can experience spring, summer, fall, and winter all in one day! Alberta has definitely taught me to be flexible and to look for the individual strengths in people. I’ve dedicated my life to learning about developmental disabilities. I use a SCERTS model mixed with CBT and play based interventions. I like to be flexible, using a client centered approach, because I’ve found that even though two people can go through the “same” situation the way they process it is unique to them. I work towards establishing emotional regulation tools that work for the family

I treat each person as an individual. I look at complex trauma that they may have experienced, and move with compassion and empathy towards healing. Then they are free to live a meaningful life with hope and happiness. I have worked with clients since 1984 with success. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Ericksonian Hypnosis. I use a brief therapy model. I am a Wall Street Journal Bestselling author, Happy Is The New Healthy. My book Habit of a Happy Life has been translated into Mandarin and Spanish. I have diplomate status with the American Board of Forensic Examiners and offer expert testimony in court.
