Online Counselling for Alberta

Life transitions, daily stressors, trauma, and mental illnesses can negatively influence the way we think, feel, and behave. These factors can cause us to feel "stuck" in old habits and patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that no longer serve us. I recognize that when we are stuck, it is difficult to make that first step towards change and reach out for support. Hence, I acknowledge you for making the first step into finding what works best for you. I understand that you want to take charge of your mental and emotional pain so that you can unlock your utmost potential.

'Life is pain, highness. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something'- William Goldman (from The Princess Bride). All sarcasm aside, life can be painful. Not being okay can be scary, especially if no one in your support system feels comfortable talking about emotions or mental health. If you're looking for someone to talk to, you've probably gotten to the place where seeking help is less scary than staying where you are right now. I've been there. Asking for help goes against what Western society tells us: that we should be able to figure it all out on our own while also being productive. No wonder we don't like feelings.

Whatever your are hoping to work on - we are here to help. Our team is just as unique as you are. Each therapist at Summit works in their own unique way, each specializing in different areas.

We all have skills and resources to work through life's challenges, our goal is to help you find those within yourself. Together we will develop a plan to strategically address your areas of concern and create lasting positive change. Our role is to provide a safe, nonjudgemental space where you can explore ways to create positive life change.

NOTE: At this time, we only offer counselling online. Our staff of counsellors, who have years of expertise and come from varied backgrounds, can manage almost any mental health issue. We provide a thorough rehabilitation programme that emphasizes a person's physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We help single people, married couples, families, and huge groups of people. We promise to alter the counsellors on our team or provide a referral for a counsellor outside of our organization if our clients are not entirely satisfied.

At Wholeness Psychology Centre, we work with a variety of concerns, including trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, identity crisis, and relationship conflict. We recognize that short-term, solution-focused modalities are appropriate for some presenting concerns. For others, a more heart-centred, holistic, depth-oriented approach to therapy is necessary. Our team has the skills and training in both areas to best meet your therapeutic needs and goals. Our approach is multifaceted and involves working with several layers simultaneously and getting to the core of your experience and needs in assessments and counselling.

I specialize in working with men - men who are going through a life transition (job loss, new job, marriage, divorce, relationship concerns, new business venture, journey of self discovery, and so on), men who sometimes struggle to speak their truth, men who want to better reconcile work with family or work with relationship. In short, I help men live from a place of greater wholeness and connectedness to Self.

Accepting new clients! Living with chronic illness, disability, or neurodivergence is hard. Getting through the overwhelm of everyday life feels impossible. You're starting to feel like all you think about is your condition and everything it has taken away from you - work, hobbies, sleep, relationships. Your family and friends don’t get it. They try to help and probably mean well, but sometimes the dismissive way they say things makes you feel worse. You try to hide your symptoms to seem “normal” but inside, you feel like you might break.

Who you choose to entrust your relationship life to could be the most important decision of your lifetime. For over 30 years I've helped thousands of couples and individuals resolve conflict and create healthy relationships. You'll get the right tools and strategies to help with your specific issues and situation. Marriage counselling is a highly complex and specialized field of practice and all MARRIAGE COUNSELLORS ARE NOT EQUAL. I start with a 2-hour initial consultation at a reduced rate. It's a game changer - you'll get immediate help - honest feedback, direction and guidance.

Accepting clients - Do you overthink and judge everything you say? Are you reliving past or future events and feel stuck in worry and stress? Or, are you wanting to break family cycles and heal patterns? I support women as they reclaim their lives before the hurt — before the assault, eating disorder, or toxic relationship. Before anxiety and fear settled in. For many of my clients, unsupportive relationships have been their norm, and they identify with having absent, abusive, or emotionally unavailable parents and partners. Therapy can help you get to know yourself better, regain a sense of self and agency, and heal from the past.

“I am committed to your mental health and wellness.” Through building awareness in an unconditionally accepting therapeutic relationship, my clients are able to develop adaptive ways of coping, learn new ways of relating to others in their lives, and to experience deeper connection, acceptance and respect for themselves and their emotions. I take pride in being authentic and transparent throughout the therapy process and I am passionate about working with people to explore their challenges, strengths and opportunities for growth and change. My style has been described as: Compassionate, Warm, Engaging, Kind, and Committed.

As human beings, we strive to have healthy connections with others and ourselves. Yet sometimes those connections get lost, fuzzy or disjointed along the way. Secure attachments are a basic human need. I have more than 9 years of experience working in the US and Canada as a Masters-level counsellor. I've worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. These experiences have given me a diverse perspective into what we face as people who are perfectly imperfect. With your permission, I will gladly walk with you on the path to reconnection and self-discovery.

Any client is ideal, anyone who needs help is more than welcome to ask for it. I would listen to anyone, and then let them know if I have the expertise to help or not. That’s one main reason that my first session is always FREE. We not only talk about their issues and goals, but also about their strengths and capabilities. Life is not only about what’s going wrong, it’s good to see things that are going well. I work with individuals, couples and also families. Clients mostly come with personal, interpersonal, relationship, skill deficit, life change, trauma, and mood issues to seek help.

It can be difficult to go to counselling, particularly for the first time. Finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with is an important, and at times challenging, process. You likely want someone that can give you direction or tools, but also you connect with and feel supported by. I too feel this is important and strive to provide you with an experience that is both warm / caring AND competent/ knowledgeable. For many years I have worked with individual's and couple's concerns in this manner. I specialize in helping individuals or couples move forward, heal their pain, feel happier and find more peace.

Are you a "big feeler"? Have you always been considered emotional or sensitive? Big feelers are often filled with worries about the future and overwhelmed by the present. You might spend a lot of time dealing with racing thoughts and fears. It's difficult to feel like you're living a secret life where no one knows how much you struggle. You might even feel like no one really knows you. You might wish you could just turn your brain off for a while and not feel so deeply impacted by everything.

It can be difficult trying to find your way in a world full of change and expectations. Are you struggling with anxiety, confusion, or overwhelm? Feeling misunderstood is exhausting. Have you been targeted and othered for how you dress, love, express or identify? You want to be seen and heard, just as you are, so you can find your unique path and be who you want to be. Going to therapy doesn't have to be so hard. You can find a genuine, safe connection with a therapist that sees you for you. I am here to support you in getting to a place where you feel clear, connected, and comfortable in your own skin.
