I am a Registered Psychologist in the province of Alberta. In each therapy session, I aim to bring joy, laughter, and understanding to help ease any discomfort you may have about seeing a therapist.

I believe that the ability to connect in meaningful ways to our self and others is central to our sense of wellbeing. I work from an attachment perspective with the goal of helping my clients create the connections they are seeking and successfully navigate the bumps, large and small, that occur in relationships. I provide a safe environment where you can fully explore your current struggle and will help you create the change you are seeking.

I am very passionate about helping people achieve their mental health goals. I have a special interest in helping those who are neurodivergent, caregivers of family members with chronic conditions, as well as those who experience anxiety or depression

The joys we experience in our day-to-day lives can be derailed when we become overwhelmed and confused by what we are feeling and what to do with those feelings. To experience peace, develop meaningful connections, and maintain a sense of contentment, it is necessary that we learn to identify what might be negatively impacting us and approach it with curiosity. The ideal future you envision for yourself is within reach when it is pursued in a safe and non-judgmental environment with a person you can trust. I take a holistic approach that views all symptoms, physical and emotional, as our body and mind’s way of communicating with us.

Hi, I'm Brittany and I work with individuals and couples seeking support while navigating life challenges. I have experience working with mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationships, grief/loss; and concerns associated with gender (transgender exploration; affirmation; identity), sexuality (2SLGBTQ+; BDSM/kink identity exploration), reproduction (fertility; pregnancy; post-partum), ethical non-monogamy and alternative relationship styles, and religious trauma (trauma recovery; folks who either want to transition out of their religion or who want to maintain their religious identity).

I provide individual and couples’ therapy to adolescents, adults, and families experiencing a wide range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and work-related stress. My goal as a therapist is to work with you to help you discover strategies for overcoming your most challenging times through compassionate and evidence-based practice.

Feeling overwhelmed by the realities of life and in need of coping skills? Are you trying to navigate challenging family relationships? Dealing with ongoing issues as a result of trauma?

Perhaps you often get stuck in a cycle of chronic overthinking or worry?

I offer virtual sessions to all Alberta residents! When clients come to therapy, I think what so many are searching for is hope. Hope that change is possible and that things won't be like this forever. Whether you are navigating grief, life transitions, divorce, depression, anxiety, trauma, past emotional neglect, dysfunctional family dynamics, relationship conflict, parenting challenges or a general feeling of dissatisfaction and emptiness in your life, my goal is to help you connect to hope and recognize that things do improve. I aim to be a lifeline for you as you face vulnerabilities, strong emotions and difficult obstacles.

Salix is the Latin name for willow. The willow tree is a symbol of hope. It gives us a sense of belonging and safety. The willow shows us how to move through adversity with strength and flexibility. It shows us the path to stability, hope and healing. The human condition is one of pain and suffering but also of joy and connection. The duality of the willow tree’s strength and tolerance during a storm versus its comfort on warm sunny days mimics this experience of humanhood. At Salix Counselling Services, we strive to find the balance between these forces while inspiring hope and promoting healing.

Many of my clients say they were hesitant to seek therapy because they feared being judged or misunderstood. I work hard to create a safe, judgement free place for you to share your story so we can explore the tools for you move forward.
