Therapists in Calgary, AB

For the last 16 years, I have worked as a Social Worker with countless communities, including racialized communities, sexual violence survivors, homeless folx, women, youth and families, addictions, and MVA survivors. I currently work for the University of Toronto as a Student Mental Health and Wellness Program Manager, a role focused on supporting and developing student mental health initiatives. Armed with both experience and understanding, I work to build trust and carefully tailored care for the communities I support; primarily specializing in trauma, mood, anxiety, and adjustment concerns.

Are you feeling increasingly drained, emotionally reactive, or resentful? Do you take on too many responsibilities and worry about disappointing others? Is it hard to ask for help because you need things done right or do not want to be a burden? If so, you are not alone. Many of my clients do amazing work, care deeply for others, and are driven by high standards for themselves– but despite their best efforts and successes, they feel overwhelmed and struggle with self-worth. They may appear to be confident and living ideal lives, but they deal with high-functioning anxiety and have difficulties speaking up for their own needs.

Looking for more than just talk therapy? My ideal client is looking for therapy that goes deeper than talk therapy. I have worked for 25 years with clients recovering from anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, abuse, and codependence. Experience has shown me that using a mind/body approach to therapy is the most effective for healing from these issues. My belief is that our being is grounded in the body and that ignoring the body will have limited lasting success in the treatment of psychological issues.
