Therapists Beginning With Q in Alberta

I get it- you decided to get therapy, but there's a multitude of therapists to choose from! They mention they do CBT, DBT or whatever ABCs. What does this all even mean?! It can be daunting and confusing- so let's get to the point: I want to help you be the best version of you. I am warm, empathetic, and compassionate, and I can't wait for you to see that in our 15 minute free consultation. Together we can figure out what your struggles are, and how I can assist you in reaching your goals.

Welcome to Inner Calm Counselling. As a therapist I seek to provide you with a space that allows you to exhale and catch your breath. Whatever brings you to my office, whether it’s the need to heal from the wounds of trauma, reconnect with yourself, or find calm in a stressful situation, I aspire to support you on your healing journey. I take an integrative and holistic approach, with a belief that each individual has an innate capacity to cultivate their own inner healing. This allows our experience together to be co-created in a way that fits your unique needs and wellness goals.

I enjoy traveling alongside people who are curious about their healing and personal growth. I work with a wide range of concerns including life transitions, emotional regulation, and complex and relational trauma including historical abuse, neglect and systemic oppression. I may be a good fit for folks who are experiencing life transitions and looking for ways to live a more whole, authentic and present life.

I am a Registered Psychologist in the province of Alberta. I have worked in the helping professions for the past 25 years. For 14 years, I worked as an addictions counsellor for Alberta Health Services, 13 years in a residential treatment centre and most recently with Access 24/7. My approach to helping with addictions, depression, anxiety, and beyond is to empower clients to achieve wellness. I take an affirmative approach to addressing the psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of the individual. I believe a holistic approach to wellness is the best way to address concerns.

I approach all my work from a neurodivergence affirming framework and a holistic wellness perspective. I personally have an ADHD diagnosis, and am a mother of a multiply disabled teen, providing me with lived experience and passion for walking with others in similar circumstances.

Currently, you may be finding it hard to navigate life's challenges but together we can work towards accomplishing your goals. I can provide you with the coping skills and support that can help you bring a positive change in your life. I believe in providing a non-judgmental safe space to you and bring compassion, empathy, warmth and professionalism to facilitate change and create a safe therapeutic environment. I enjoy the challenge of working with different people and find the work incredibly rewarding.

Welcome! One of the most important parts of healing is being able to laugh, cry, be un-filtered, and let the real you flourish. When we work together, I invite you to ‘come as you are’, knowing that anything you share will be received with compassion. My goal is to understand you holistically: your unique gifts, your stories of survival, and journeys that have defined you (e.g., cultural, spiritual, immigration, relationships, trauma, stigma). Together we’ll explore how to live fully, breathe easy, reclaim your story, and be rooted in your values.
