Are you feeling stuck with lingering bad feelings? Replaying painful experiences in your mind? Living your life in shame and guilt? I am a Registered Psychologist with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Alberta and additional training in evidence-based therapies: Emotion Focused Therapy, EMDR, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I specialize in emotion-based issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, shame, low self-esteem, relationship issues and grief. I welcome and respect individuals of all different backgrounds, experiences and values.

I help people overcome anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship issues, and many others. I ensure that my clients have the tools to maintain the gains they have made with me. The services I offer are effective, efficient, collaborative, and affordable. I have an extensive clinical and academic background in psychology, psychiatry, and pharmacology. Moreover, my education in the humanities and my personal varied background helps me serve clients dealing with multicultural, cross-cultural, and family matters. I have been in a private practice since 2009 with 25 years of experience in the field. I also teach at MacEwan University.

I'm a Registered Provisional Psychologist who was over 8 years of experience working specifically with children, adolescents and their families in a variety of different settings such as schools, community agencies and private practice.  My specific interest includes providing support for a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, low self-esteem and trauma. I primarily utilize a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach, however, I also incorporate different therapeutic modalities in my practice given each individual’s unique needs. This may include ACT, DBT, SFT and CFT.

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.

Are you experiencing burn out, chronic stress, anxiety, or depression? Talking to a psychologist can help. It is common to feel unsure when taking the first step towards working on your mental health. I aspire to ease any uncertainty by compassionately supporting my clients through any concern they wish to explore in our sessions. In my experience, each client’s story is unique. Once I gain an understanding of your individual preferences, strengths, and goals, I will customize an approach drawing on my experience with evidence-based practices to support you in your circumstances.

Life feels so disappointing. Despite trying, you can't seem to figure out how to make things better but you know you need them to change. Thinking of how things have been, you feel overwhelmed, upset, and at times detached from your current reality. You struggle to feel good enough and connect to joy in your life. You catch yourself wondering if things will ever feel ok. At some point your authentic self got lost and you can’t quite figure out how to get it back. You long to feel fulfilled and connected within your life. You are looking for a therapist who really gets you and has the tools to help.

Life is messy. It’s filled with constant struggles - feeling unfulfilled, overwhelmed, lost, or that life is out of control. Do you feel unwanted, struggle with finding purpose, worry about the future, or avoid or distract yourself from feeling painful thoughts and emotions? Are you struggling with issues such as, traumatic events, chronic pain or illness, addiction, couples or relationship issues, grief, anxiety, or depression? I can offer a safe place where you will feel supported, understood, and cared for, as we navigate through this together. As a team, we will carve a path towards the life you want to live.

My aim is to help clients live a life full of meaning, connection, purpose, and vitality. Working in the Edmonton community for over 15 years, I specialize in trauma, burnout, and grief, but provide services for a wide range of concerns. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) with training in Hakomi Therapy, I honour the mind-body connection and primarily use somatic/body-oriented approaches to healing. I believe that in order to achieve true lasting change, we must work with the body, as the body is where we store our unprocessed emotions, core wounds, and traumas. NOTE: Services provided in English only.

We are an online counselling agency so do not provide services in person. Strength Counselling Services has licensed, experienced therapists who use evidence-based practices, prioritize client needs, and maintain ethical standards.

Lastly, ensuring our clients' privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance to us.
