Therapists in Calgary, AB

I am a clinical psychologist in Calgary, and provide individual, family, as well as group therapy. I also provide comprehensive psychological assessment services, as well as consultation to parents, schools, health care providers, and other professionals. My experience includes previous and current employment in the health care and educational sectors, including hospital and community settings. I typically practice from a cognitive-behavioural therapy model, and use a brief, solution focused approach to therapy. My work with couples and families tends to be more emotionally focused, attachment based, and I use a family systems approach.

Things are often not what they appear and our past experiences might have negative effects on our self-esteem and self-image, how we perceive things, and how we relate to the others. Those past experiences often prevent us from moving forward in life and keep us stuck. I have been passionately providing counselling to individuals, couples, children and families and supporting them in their journey to reaching full potential. I help clients who are facing depression and anxiety as a result of life challenges, such as relationship issues, divorce and separation, past traumas, parenting issues, health concerns etc.

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist, and I love working with children, adolescents, adults and families.

Life can be a beautiful mess and a heartbreaking gift, often at the same time. My aim is to provide the connection and support you need to navigate the challenges you are currently facing. I will remind you of your innate strengths and values and encourage you to listen to and trust yourself. I will seek to help you recognize the patterns of thinking and behaviour that might be holding you back, as well as invite you to consider how various influences in your life impact your functioning. I believe the body-mind connection is essential for health and wellbeing and I will work to help you strengthen that bond within yourself.

Many of us have lost touch, abandoned, forgotten, or detached from the things that make us unique, bring us joy, and motivate us to build the life that we want to live. This sense of loss can produce many side effects such as anxiety, addiction, and depression. It can also cause us to attract relationships or people in our lives that are out of alignment with our soul's essence causing conflict, confusion, and chaos. If you are feeling lost, alone, confused, anxious, or rejected by others and or yourself - these can be clues that you have lost connection with important parts of yourself.

Let’s face it, life can throw all sorts of challenges our way and sometimes it can be helpful to talk about it. The act of saying something out loud is an important first step in moving forward. Parallel Counselling is a safe space to explore, reframe, and realign what’s going on within you, your relationships, and the world around you to help you gain perspective, process past hurts, create new patterns, and feel more connected to yourself and the people in your life.

Have you been noticing anxiety, fear, or judgment taking up space in your life lately, or holding you back from finding joy, motivation, or confidence? Has it been difficult to understand and live authentically in your gender identity or sexuality? I work with teens, young adults, and families struggling with their identity, sexuality (LGBTQ+, queer-allied space), anxiety, low mood, "big emotions", social relationships, school-related challenges, or just the stress of everyday life. By exploring your values and ways to work with your emotions, we can work to foster a life of authenticity and self-acceptance.

Sometimes life can seem just too overwhelming. Are you feeling lost, not sure what the right decision is, where to go next? Do you suspect that there might be an undercurrent of issues from your formative years that you have never addressed or explored? Do you feel that they could be influencing your life today? In a non-judgmental, person-centered, warm and safe environment, let’s explore where you came from and where you want to be going. Sometimes you just need to talk things out with an objective professional. Sometimes you need some guidance and suggestions.

Clients going through life transitions such as starting school, changing careers, getting married, becoming a parent, or retiring. A desire to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their values, and their life purpose.

What are the unique challenges you face that keep you from living your most vibrant and authentic life? My goal is to help you demystify these barriers and approach them with a refreshed perspective where you can face them authentically with courage. I mountaineer because demanding experiences test me, light me up, and ground me simultaneously. I savour the feeling of taking a deep, calming breath after hard moves, and I bring this approach to therapy. I want to help guide you into finding a deep calming breath in your own challenges and make space where you can appreciate just how tenacious you can be.

What you need is someone with experience and skill to come alongside you, in acceptance, bringing clarity – illuminating reasons why this has been happening to you; all of which bring safety, hope, and direction to your life.
