Therapists in T2X

When you feel all hope is lost, there is STILL hope! Vincent van Gogh said, “There may be a great fire in our soul, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.” I consider my job to hear and feel with you the great fire of your soul—your struggles, feelings of hopelessness and worry, feeling controlled by your emotions and past trauma, repeating patterns of conflict, battling addiction, or fighting an inner battle that others may not fully understand or appreciate.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a family-focused practice and over 15 years of experience. Children, youth, families, and parents/caregivers often see me when there are concerns about behavior, sleep, anxiety, emotion regulation, family and peer relationships, adjustment (e.g., parental separation, medical diagnosis), and disrupted attachment (e.g., foster care, adoption). Adults seek my services when they have concerns and goals related to relationships, coping, and adjustment. I have worked in diverse settings including children’s hospitals, school districts, a not-for-profit organization, and my private practice.

I'm an experienced parent coach and couple therapist. I love to help parents understand their children's behaviours from the inside out and get them back in the driver's seat! To accomplish this, I have found Dr. Gordon Neufeld's attachment and developmental approach to be most effective. With my couples, I use a research backed model called EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). EFT pays particular attention to those interactions where couples get stuck, those moments where the signals get scrambled. It provides a road map to identify the negative pattern, de-escalate emotional reactivity and re-establish the connection.

I specialize in trauma related symptoms and concerns. As an EMDR certified therapist I can help with complex trauma, relational trauma, phobias, mood and relationship concerns. I offer treatment intensives and day retreats. Depression, anxiety relationship concerns are often symptoms of trauma and we can explore healing further with EMDR and somatic therapies. I also support individuals and their family members struggling with stress, behaviour problems, communication difficulties, marital concerns, and co-parenting issues after separation and divorce. often a little help can change the direction to a more positive one.

Life can be challenging and although we may be able to cope with the majority of difficulties that come our way sometimes an issue arises that feels too difficult to manage on our own. This may be a problem within ourselves, our relationships or a situation which is seemingly beyond our control. Let me support you in tapping into your natural strengths and resiliency to overcome the problem that is facing you today. We can work together to find the solution that will work the best for you.

Hi! I'm Natasha and I believe we all are doing the best we can, yet each of us can find ourselves in need of support during different times in our lives. This may arise from relationships, life experiences, job loss, past traumas, or future uncertainties. I am a Registered Social Worker, having completed a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work at the University of Calgary. I have experience working with adults, children, and couples using a trauma-informed care approach to therapy. I have experience helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, interpersonal relationships, and addiction.

I work with clients experiencing challenges in relationships, increased stress, and adjusting to change. Clients seeking to improve relationships, manage stress more effectively and adapt to change or loss in their lives will find a good fit with the services I provide. I also work with clients in areas such as improving confidence and self worth and decision making.

I partner with clients to offer effective individualized mental health care. I treat a number of mental health concerns, and provide a neutral ground for individuals, families, and couples. I offer faith-based Christian counselling and secular counselling.

This wasn’t the way it was supposed to be. You want to appear like you have it “all together”, but deep down you are anything but! Stressed out, anxious and full of self-doubt, you feel alone and overwhelmed as you struggle with unexpected challenges. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who has clinical experience and life experience because therapy should be a place where you feel safely guided by someone who can offer ideas and strategies when you feel stuck.

We are passionate about working collaboratively with clients to find healing, resolution and growth. We aim to provide a safe, supportive and encouraging environment for clients to gain personal insight, build new skills and strategies and achieve their goals. We understand that making long-lasting changes can be difficult but we strongly believe it is possible! It is our desire to help people thrive and live a meaningful life.

In our lives we sometimes experince unexpected, painful and challenging circumstances which can be difficult to navigate on your own. It can be helpful to explore your story with someone you trust and feel comfortable sharing your experinces and feelings with. In therapy I provide a safe, genuine, and compassionate environment to help you uncover and understand who you are and identify the changes you want to make in your life. I believe it's my role to be supportive and help you identify and work towards the future you desire and choose.

I work with women from the start of their fertility journey through pregnancy, post-partum and the many phases of parenting. Clients are often working through difficult core memories, recent or past losses and traumatic events, are making sense of this time of transition and are processing points of stress, overwhelm and anxiety. My approaches are grounded in attachment and child development theory and I'm often working with moms to better understand their child's behaviour and why it can be so dysregulating. Most of all, I'm passionate about supporting women in finding joy and thriving during these vulnerable years.
