Therapists Beginning With R in Alberta

Do you feel like you are crumbling on the inside, trying to hold it all together; meanwhile you feel tense or just "off"? Did you dig deep to move past a painful experience only to find similar feelings popping up again and again? Have you worked hard, “done the right thing,” and followed what you thought was the right path but still feel burned out, unsure, and overwhelmed? Do you believe you should feel happier with the life you worked so hard for? If “is this it?” is a question you’ve been asking yourself often, then I want you to know: you’re not alone.

It has been a winding journey for me to becoming a registered provisional psychologist. I have worked in the mental health field in various roles for over 6 years and indirectly for over 15. I have experience with a variety of issues including addiction, divorce and separation, anxiety, depression, family struggles, couple relationship challenges, ADHD, schizoaffective disorder, life transitions, intimate partner violence, trauma, suicidal ideation, and historical child sexual abuse. My ultimate goal for you is to find joy, peace, a sense of control over your life; and improved relationships both with yourself and others.

I believe that there are many ways to get to a place of looking inward, tending to your inner child, and becoming your own bestfriend despite all odds and challenges that may be thrown your way. You can begin to trust your own intuition as you slow your racing thoughts down, start to feel comfortable sitting in your body again, and reconnect with yourself on a soul-level. So, let's do that together by first taking a deep cleansing breath over some tea. I know that therapy can feel incredibly overwhelming for newcomers, so I like to think of it as a cozy chat where you can feel heard, seen, and held in a safe space.

I am a psychologist and certified play therapist with a master’s of science degree in marital and family therapy. I provide online counseling and play therapy for children, adolescents, and their families. I provide family counseling to parents and children navigating the difficult process of separation and divorce, with the goal of maintaining a strong relationship between parents and children.

Are you ready to make a change? Would you like to worry less? Perhaps your relationship could use a tune up? Together we can make these changes happen. As a Registered Psychologist, I specialize in helping people improve their overall well-being, reduce symptoms of trauma, depression, and anxiety. I aspire to support each client to find hope and solutions to empower their lives.

I was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta from an immigrant family. As a child I struggled with fitting in and those feelings still impact me today. Through my own journey, I have recognized that I have a passion for helping others become better versions of themselves which led me to pursuing education in Psychology . My belief is that in order for us to be our best self, we need the space, tools and support to examine factors that influence the choices we make that take us away from living the life we desire. Examining our past can be helpful in understanding our present and lead us to live happier and healthier futures.

I work with clients and their personal challenges with care, warmth, compassion, and curiosity. We explore the barriers that hold you back from having the life you desire. My focus is to guide you towards a deeper level of change. We do this by exploring the patterns keeping you stuck, beliefs that limit you, and thoughts that cause you distress. Often these patterns are rooted in the past due to early attachment, developmental, relational and shock trauma. Processing these experiences in a safe therapeutic relationship, allows us to heal the past and move to a place of authenticity, integrity, and satisfaction in our lives.

During my academic journey, I developed a deep understanding of human behaviour and evidence-based therapies

You're worthy of joy, love, confidence, and strength. You may feel alone, broken, stressed, hurt, and stuck right now. Trauma, anxiety, depression, poor communication skills and unhealthy behaviours should not get in the way of work, school, or relationships.

I encourage you to take the next step to call or email me. I want to support you because you're willing to try; you want to grow and to live your best life.

Counselling for Rebuilding After Separation and Divorce. You've experienced numbness, shock and a rollercoaster of mixed emotions. Sometimes unhelpful thoughts can contribute to your feeling more isolated, lost, and lonelier. You've identified how navigating parenting, career and life responsibilities feels overwhelming due to feelings of anxiousness, depression and stress. Sometimes current stresses and past life experience impact your ability to move forward with living your best life. Let's get started!

I am an Indigenous Registered Psychologist who works from an Indigenous perspective. I provide Indigenous counselling and create a safe place for clients to heal in a way that they want to heal. Clients are experts in their own lives but may need some guidance on accessing their inner knowledge. We can work together to help you to stand in your power and be your authentic self. I believe in building relationships with not only ourselves but also our difficulties. I offer holistic, relationship-focused, genuine, empathic, and grounding therapy.

Critical relationships from the past and present shape our thoughts about (a) ourselves, (b) others and (c) our expectations for relationships. Thoughts and expectations shaped by our experience, in turn, shape our perceptions and influence the choices we make and the things we do--often in limiting and self-defeating ways. When our need for safe, meaningful and satisfying connection is complicated by difficulty of some sort, we frequently develop troubling symptoms.

Charles Dickens once remarked that “a wonderful fact to reflect upon is that every human is a profound secret and mystery to every other." Despite how unique we all are, we often tend to spend much of our lives suffering, searching for happiness in places we struggle to ever find. Our wounds are the gateways to the most sacred parts of us and when we are open to new possibilities, we find what we had hoped for. It would be my honour to help make those possibilities your present realities.

Are you stressed? Anxious? Are you often caught up in your painful past or worried about the uncertain future? You are reactive and take everything personally. You are irritated and restless. Disconnected and misunderstood. Empty and joyless. Self-criticism is your mantra. Happiness a virtual reality. It's hard to remember what matters to you or who you are. You are stuck. In. Your. Misery. I help people get unstuck. I help people improve their health and well-being, and overcome obstacles that are getting in the way of life. I provide practical tools to help you be present, open up, and do what matters.

I am a Registered Psychologist/Mental Health Therapist. I have been working in the area of Human Services for over 30 years.

Something has brought you here. Maybe it was your inner knowing, courage, and/or readiness to choose yourself and choose some change. I believe that figuring out your "stuff" is one of the greatest gifts you can offer yourself and others. When we evolve within ourselves, our relationships with others also evolve. It is a reciprocal win. I am honored to hold safe space for you while you deepen understanding of “what am I learning about myself” and “how can I use what I am learning to live the life I want.” Safe space helps let down our walls and become humbly curious to face the hard stuff that takes up emotional bandwidth.

Welcome! Whether you're here because you're seeking help for yourself, someone else, or you're exploring whether or not therapy is the right step for you, congrats on making it this far. It can feel like an uncomfortable and overwhelming journey to navigate; just know you're on the right track. I believe that one of the major keys to success is finding a therapist who you "click" with. I would be truly honoured to be the one who works with you towards positive change and healing, and I am open to any questions you might have before getting started.
