Therapists in Calgary, AB

We all have our stories. Our past experiences shape the way we see ourselves and the world. Our conversations can help you understand these stories and offer the opportunity to rewrite old stories and craft new ones. You might wonder what makes these conversations with me different than ones you’ve had with friends and family. First off, the space and time is specifically designed for you. I can offer you a safe space where you will be encouraged to explore, with courage, how you see yourself, how you function in the world, and how you connect to others. Although this is hard work, we might even laugh along the way.

I am a down-to-earth therapist whose main orientation is to help clients have more of the lives they want. No matter what the specific issues are - anxiety, depression, eating issues, relationships, family stress, work issues, mental health concerns, and so on - I endeavour to help my clients feel, think, and behave in ways that fit better for them and are ultimately more productive. In the safe space of counselling clients are able to explore themselves, their patterns, and life-obstacles in order to connect to their greater sense of purpose, wholeness, and groundedness.

I believe that people achieve the best results when they are in an environment where they feel genuinely heard, welcomed, and understood.

When you feel all hope is lost, there is STILL hope!
