Therapists in Alberta

I continue to be intrigued by the human spirit as it looks for answers that will bring healing to relationships, big life decisions, inner struggles and general well-being. With over 30 years of working with people and 26 years as a Registered Psychologist, I enjoy collaborating with individuals, families, teams and communities to deepen their stories, strengthen existing resources, discover new ways to provide resource and to make changes that are sturdy and forward moving.

Are you ready for a new chapter in your life? Let’s take the steps together. Whether you are experiencing overwhelming stress, feelings of anxiety or depression, grief and loss, or dealing with past or present trauma, we can all find ourselves feeling pushed to our limit, paralyzed with uncertainty, or simply lost. Whatever you are experiencing in your life right now, I am confident that there is hope and a way forward.

Do you ask yourself “what’s the point”, feel exhausted, stuck, alone, overwhelmed, stressed, isolated or withdrawn? Do you think to yourself, I’m not in control, not good enough, or I'm a failure? Do you lack focus & concentration or have a loss of interest or pleasure in life? Do memories of your childhood, a recent loss, or an accident interfering in your activities of daily living? If you connected to any of the above and are looking for something different, better, or more, we can work together to create a treatment plan offering you hope, to help guide you, and support you in having a more functioning, healthier & happier life.

Working from a holistic frame, I believe that the source for all healing and lasting change is rooted in the mind-body-spirit triad, as well as the family-community connection. I support persons of all ages and histories in finding those resources that may guide them towards experiencing greater satisfaction in their daily living, sense of well-being, and in their key relationships. Using a variety of approaches, I tailor the therapeutic experience to best match each client's needs at any given point in therapy.

I have experience working with children (ages 10+), teens, and adults facing challenges related to grief & loss, gender & sexual identity, chronic illnesses, disordered eating (including ARFID), school, phobias, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, and trauma. I have a special interest in working with those who have experienced (or who will experience) the death of someone they love, and I also particularly enjoy working with queer, trans+, and gender-creative young people.

Life can present with many challenges and struggles; however, it can bring us to a journey of self-awareness and self-discovery. I hope to help you discover who you are meant to be, both as an individual or as a couple. I am registered social worker, with 15 years of counselling experience. I have a passion for my work and it shows in my commitment and dedication to my clients. My interest is working with adults either individually or as a couple.

I have been in private practice since 2004, bringing a warm, comprehensive, practical, & holistic approach to mental health and wellness. Primary areas of clinical focus that include: depression and anxiety, grief and loss, major life transitions, stress management, marital enrichment, divorce care, family communication, spiritual care, empowerment and assertiveness training. I offer individual, couple, family therapy, as well as a number of unique group programs.

I want to help you find your "joie de vivre" (joy in living) and empower you to be your best self! I am a Registered Psychologist certified in Hakomi mindfulness-centered somatic psychotherapy and EMDR. I particularly enjoy helping clients change problematic patterns in their lives and become more self-compassionate. I believe clients have the inner wisdom they need to change and heal, but may need a supportive environment in which to access and practice it. I am also a Grief Recovery Method specialist. If you are dealing with unresolved pain due to any kind of loss or transition, contact me for more information.

You are searching for answers, perhaps stuck, and may feel a bit lost about how to find your way forward. You can be sensitive, intense, and passionate and you're interested in living from a place of aliveness, well-being, and spark. You may have a history of trauma, suffering, and loss and yet you are also a survivor. I look forward to working with you, attending to both the suffering and the resilience, the loss and the grace; to listening to and affirming the melody within your words. I work with several provisional and registered psychologists at Foothills Integrative Psychology and Neurotherapy. How can we help?

Are you finding it difficult to cope with your own or a loved one’s cancer diagnosis? Although everyone’s experience of cancer is unique, several themes stand out when I reflect on the concerns clients commonly share with me: Many people are having difficulty living with the unknowns. Others share about sadness or a sense of loss of control. Almost all clients talk about the challenge of dealing with fear or worry about the future. If any of these kinds of experiences resonate with you, I invite you to reach out to me. Our work together cannot take away the diagnosis, but I can help you feel better able to cope with the experience.

Painful and terrifying experiences that we experience in childhood as well as in adulthood, can have lasting negative effects on our lives. These experiences often leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, isolated and having difficulties managing strong emotions such as anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, shame and guilt. Taking the first step towards addressing these challenges can be anxiety provoking; my role is to join you on this journey towards healing.

I love working with trauma and have specialized experience with first responders. I get how it changes the way you think, feel and act so can work with emotional dysregulation and behavioural issues too. Addiction is common, and often a way to cope, and it's the underlying issues I enjoy nurturing and healing. At times, I work with people struggling in relationships, sometimes with themselves, or as they adjust to relationship change or loss. Other times I support people as they navigate life transitions like employment changes, navigating pregnancy and parenthood, reconciling health issues, or effects of aging.

Life can feel overwhelming at times especially when encountering grief and loss, crisis and trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and more. It is helpful to have someone to walk along side you as you journey to find meaning, wellness (physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually), and strategies to thrive. ​

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you carrying pain from a difficult past or recent event? Perhaps from the loss of a loved one or a complicated relationship? Even loss from a life-changing situation? Are you a victim of domestic abuse? Are you looking to repair a challenging relationship or healing from one? You are not alone. Let me help you! I commend you for taking the first step towards healing. I have worked with a broad range of issues including cultural adjustment challenges, domestic violence, grief & loss, relationship challenges including survivors of abusive relationships, parent-child relationship challenges, and trauma.

If you have had traumatic or painful events, or if you are in toxic relationships, keep reading because I may be able to help you. On a warm Tuesday morning in September, my mother died after a period of great suffering. I could not imagine my life without her, and I did not have any idea how my life was going to continue. Her doctor encouraged me to see my mother’s death as though it had brought her freedom. Freedom was a concept that I had never known before; sadness and pain were what I knew. On that day, I started my search of freedom until I found it years later.

Many people feel lost in the rhythms and uncertainties of life. Feelings of emptiness, loneliness, hurt, confusion and anxiety can overwhelm our ability to live life deeply. Sometimes our usual patterns of living are no longer working. Other times sudden changes, such as world events, a loss, life transition, trauma, or a diagnosis swamp our emotional resources. The surfacing of past events such as abuse, grief, or accidents may stop us in our tracks. These are just some of the situations that can create barriers to living the life we want, and send us searching for deeper meaning, connection and belonging.
