Therapists in Calgary, AB

Life is messy and there is no one solution that works in all situations. I work with children and families to address and meet their needs—wherever they are at along their unique journey. In my practice, I work with children (5-17 years old) and their families, providing either individual or family therapy. Common presenting themes, include: parent-children relationship concerns, intergenerational trauma, violence/aggression, and emotional/behavioural dysregulation. Common goals may include: increased communication skills, safety planning, psycho-education, and coping strategies.

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.

My areas of clinical expertise include anxiety, trauma and C-PTSD, dissociation, panic attacks, obsessive- compulsive disorder, parenting, relationship difficulties, couple and family issues, anger management, disordered eating, postpartum depression, managing emotions, addictions, sleeping issues, self-esteem, body image, nightmares, and others. I work with youth, adults, couples and families. I provide services in English and Arabic languages.

Anxiety, depression, self-harm and relationship problems can cause distress - just getting by day to day can be tough. We often struggle alone believing things will never get better. Family and friends urge us to get over it, stop talking about it! But, you need to talk. I care and I am here to help. Together we can find a solution and make the changes that will make a difference in your life. Together we will work towards making life less stressful, overwhelming and more enjoyable! If you can't come to me, I will come to you!

As a psychologist with extensive experience working in private practice, schools and community settings, I aim to help families who are struggling with their child's behaviour find new ways to problem solve and work together.

I also work with kids up to 10, helping them understand and express their feelings and solve conflicts, as well as improve communication with their parents. I practice from an attachment model - parent-child relationships are key!

For over 20 years, I have worked with children with complex learning needs.
