Therapists in Calgary, AB

In life, we can find ourselves challenged in ways we did not expect or anticipate. Life can become difficult and overwhelming to manage at times. In such moments, it can be helpful to seek support from someone who might help unearth possibilities and support you in finding healthier and adaptive ways to manage and cope. It is my belief that developing a strong, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone to therapeutic success. Through mutual respect, genuine empathy, and trust, individuals can be seen and heard, and encouraged to create the changes they want in their lives.

I collaborate with clients to help them pursue healing, growth, and change in their lives. I support clients as they work through trauma due to present and past events, and to form meaning and purpose moving forward. I combine EMDR, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and play therapy, depending on clients' needs. I offer family mediation for those experiencing separation or divorce, to improve communication and build a path forward. I work with individuals, couples, and children. My hope is that clients achieve personal goals, connectedness, resolution, and the ability to face life head on.

Having a foot in two different worlds can be challenging and as a South-Asian Canadian therapist, I am aware of how cultural differences can affect our mental health. I create a safe, non-judgmental space for children, teens, and adults to embark on this journey of healing by using tools from various therapies (i.e. cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapies, and trauma-informed approaches). This journey is about you, and our sessions will be tailored to fit your unique strengths and needs.

I have been a registered psychologist for nearly 40 years. I have been part of the healing journeys for individuals of all ages (child to seniors), couples and families. I don't know if I have an ideal client other than someone who is open to sharing the story of their life and developing resiliency in some way. With children and youth, they have a special place given their vulnerability and yet wonderful creativity.

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.

Do you struggle with anxiety, grief, the effects of trauma, or an inability to feel worthy? Are you finding it difficult to show up for yourself and others in the ways that you want to? Do you feel overwhelmed by a challenging relationship, difficult family dynamics, or the demands of daily life and wonder if things will ever get easier or more manageable? Right now, so many of us are experiencing increased worry, loss of direction, and uncertainty and feel paralyzed. But what if you have the capacity to create positive change and all you need is a little support to take the next right step toward the life you want to live?

Well hello friend! I’m so happy you’re here! Let’s get to know each other. I love contrast, and feel best when I can embrace all of the pieces that make me who I am. Some of my favourite things: glitter and dirt, bare feet and high heels, nature and pizza, poetry and pushups, intentional practice and fun - because I believe we’re here to experience life, and to learn to feel it all out.

It takes courage to seek help when life isn't going smoothly and our regular methods of coping are not solving the issues we encounter.

I am passionate about helping you restore serenity and peace in your life. I listen carefully to understand your experience, and respond to you with care and empathy. This is a process which helps you become more aware of your own strengths and resiliency and discover new possibilities.

I am a Registered Psychologist with over 9 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma, and neurodevelopmental disorders and my areas of interest include grief and loss, stress, relationship/family dynamic challenges, parenting and child development, neurodivergence, and decolonizing practices.

Over 30 years, I have the privilege of talking to, listening to, walking with and praying for women & couples who struggle with their family, marital, and interpersonal relationships. In 2002, I graduated with a MA in counselling. Since then I have been counselling formally in the Calgary area. I love to help women to reconnect with God in their spiritual struggles and work on their relationships with others. I have journeyed with many women who experience domestic abuse. The vicious cycle has kept many in terrifying living situations. I also enjoy working with couples who love each other but have a hard time getting along.

*Accepting new clients* Struggle and challenge are part of the human experience and I believe it is our response to adversity that shapes our lives. Walking alongside clients, I strive to take a holistic approach to address many different aspects of a client's experience (e.g. mental, emotional, physical, spiritual).

I've been in the helping profession for over 20 years. What I know for sure is that the desire for healing is common and yet each story is unique. I excel at utilizing effective interventions to address feelings and experiences that feel distressing and "stuck". This can look like not knowing how to move forward, knowing but struggling to make changes, or feeling lost or confused about how to reduce distress. I would be honored to hear your story. ​

Exploring mental health can be scary and challenging. I am passionate about helping others and offer a safe space to explore various issues. As a Registered Psychologist, I have experience helping individuals with anxiety, depression, stress, grief/ loss, life transitions, sexuality, women’s health issues, as well as divorce/separation. I believe in working with my clients to create tailored treatment goals. I offer a free, 15-minute consultation to help you decide whether we would be a good fit and to answer any of your questions.

Do you feel like your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are often misaligned with who you want to be, who you really are deep inside? Are you ready to begin transforming the beliefs, emotions, and patterns you hold inside of yourself that keep you from fully living the life that you want? Together we can explore the roots of whatever you are currently wanting help with - be it emotional regulation, self-compassion, relationships, depression, anxiety, addictions, life transitions, sexuality, spirituality, and racial identity. These roots can span across multiple generations, often inviting us to tune in to our ancestral history.
