Family Therapy in T2R

I have practiced social work for almost two decades and have devoted my career to assisting at-risk families. I have a Clinical Master of Social Work (MSW) in children's mental health and specialize in assessment and intervention where children are the subject of custody determinations or parenting disputes. My training includes family mediation and the creation of developmentally sensitive parenting plans. I have additional forensic training in assessment of family violence and child maltreatment. I am trained in child-led play, therapeutic access and am a registered Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator.

My approach to my work is grounded in honesty, openness, trust and humor. In a world that is fast paced and sometimes unkind, my intention is to offer a gentle, understanding space where you can start to understand yourself, your emotions and take away tangible tools to help you continue to show up authentically. My goal is to help those I encounter leave feeling empowered with desire to thrive in their personal journeys, no matter what this may look like for you.

Life is hard! We may be faced with challenges from the time we are young, and sometimes the struggles come later in life. Sometimes we lose ourselves along the way. The good news is that things can change and you are already stronger and wiser than you realize! I believe in the power of human resiliency and people’s capacity for personal growth. You are the expert on your own life, and whether you are working to heal from a past trauma, trying to improve your relationship skills, overcome struggles with anxiety or depression, increase your sense of self-worth, dealing with a loss, or just working to find yourself again. I can help!

Hello! It’s so great to see you. I’m Adrienne (she/her). I have a keen interest in working with individuals and couples, from teens to adults, and from all walks of life, who may be struggling with identity, trauma, life transitions, family/relationship issues, neurodivergence, and general issues related to mental health and well-being. My goal is to help empower you to live a full and meaningful life, and to find out what that means for you.

Parenting is a wondrous yet often difficult journey. Children's early development takes place within the context of their close relationships. My work focusses on helping to optimize the parent-child relationship as the foundation for a child to reach their potential and have the best possible start in life. I have focussed my career on working with children, including children with developmental differences and various medical challenges through settings such as Montreal Children's Hospital, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and the Alberta Children's Hospital. I look forward to journeying with you on the adventure of parenting.

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?

Contextual forces of family, community, historical events, and trauma shape the brain from conception through the lifespan. Less than optimal circumstances can lead to a compromised nervous system and the formation of maladaptive patterns in the brain and body. As a result, you may suffer from symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, poor emotional regulation, difficulty in relationships, addictions, dissociation; and even autoimmune disorders or physical symptoms that cannot be explained medically. If you want to heal stuck patterns, live authentically with more joy and less fear, and have better relationships, I can help!

My approach to counselling is specific to each client I work with. I believe the therapeutic process is highly creative and that it relies equally on both spontaneous diversion and meticulous planning. In addition to direct focus on the individual, I also believe deeply in the power of family dynamics, social structure, and the societal pressures that exist in our highly complex modern world.

My purpose is to help those with trauma find peace. Trauma has many faces. From haunting memories, and dreams to feeling anxious, angry, and depressed. Ties with friends and family can also be hurt. As much as trauma is painful, it is treatable. Over my 20 years of work, I have become an expert at building coping skills and helping others heal. I have had the honour to work with Canadian military veterans, RCMP, Calgary police, Paramedics and other professionals. I am also experienced working with persons who have been abused by their family and loved ones, motor vehicle accidents and other serious traumas.

I am constantly amazed at the resilience we all show, as we navigate our lives amidst the challenges that invariably arise! Sometimes the demands on us outweigh the resources we have available in that moment. It takes a courageous person to recognize the need for, and to request and accept, support. I am honoured every time clients invite me to join them along their journeys toward improved insight, skill, interaction, and overall living.

Experiencing adverse life events like trauma during our developmental years can dramatically impact our quality of life. Because of the negative messaging you receive during this time, you likely have a diminished sense of self and struggle in your personal relationships. By challenging this programming and recontextualizing it, you can develop a new sense of yourself that is more resilient and better able to show up authentically in your relationships. Since trauma often occurs within a family dynamic, I am also able to effectively treat youths (12+) and families struggling with dysfunction.

I help individual clients with ADHD, anxiety, and addiction concerns regain control over their lives. I also offer relationship help for individuals and couples.

My therapeutic orientations include Cognitive Behavioural, Psychodynamic, Existential, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and family therapy approaches as appropriate.
