Blue Cross Therapists in K7A

Space available for new clients including those ages 6+. Looking to improve your relationships? Having trouble getting through the day? Angry? Anxious? Panic attacks? Do you have this overwhelming feeling of dread that won't go away? Having overcome my own anxieties, I have developed a passion for helping others to live a fulfilling life. My goal is to help children, individuals and First Responders develop skills to overcome anxieties, regulate emotions, manage stress, develop healthy relationships with themselves and others. My role is to support individuals in a capacity that suits their needs to get to where they want to go.

Working in partnership with you, I strive to help in ways that are most aligned with your needs, goals and strengths.

I am accepting new clients from all walks of life. I bring a collaborative, nonjudgmental, client centered approach. While I use a variety of approaches, I have additional experience using CBT. I also have additional training in EFT for couples counselling. Much of my focus is on supporting the needs of individuals, couples, and first responders to help reach their desired goals. In my space you can expect to be met open discussion, comfort, understanding, and acceptance so that we may tread new and existing paths in the direction of self-awareness and growth.

As a former first responder, I understand the cumulative impacts of trauma and how it can affect our way of being, among other things. My career in Policing taught me many valuable lessons and has helped pave the way for me to continue to serve others in a counselling capacity. I recognize the necessity of pre-emptively equipping first responders with psycho-education, tools and techniques to help preserve their wellness and overall being. A holistic approach in preserving physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health is necessary to enable our first responders to safely carry out the duty’s incumbent upon them.

Don't let OCD or anxiety define you any longer – our team of experts will help you overcome the vicious cycle of anxiety so that you connect with what's important in life. OCD and anxiety can get worse over the years so it's important to find a therapist who understands the cycle of intrusive thoughts, behaviours and rituals. We will help you to break the anxiety or OCD pattern because we know how challenging it is to do it alone. We work with a wide range of anxiety problems including phobias (e.g. emetophobia, driving phobia), OCD, health anxiety, etc.

At Life + Hope Counselling, we offer a diverse range of treatment options for anxiety, depression, PTSD, Borderline Personality traits, grief, and relational challenges. If you are feeling burdened with stress, anxiety, or past trauma; if you are emotionally overwhelmed with sadness or loss; if you are suffering burnout or are challenged in a life transition; if you are wanting to move into healthier behaviour patterns and relationship dynamics, we would like to help you.
