Therapists in Calgary, AB

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.

When it comes to living, life can be full of stressors, disappointments, changes, challenges and losses that can cause a range of emotional, mental and physical responses. In therapy, I take the approach that all experiences, both internal and external, can create opportunity for growth, fulfillment and greater meaning. Counselling services can range from short-term solution focus treatment to longer-term therapy/analysis. The treatment plan will depend on your individual needs, the preferred outcome, your ability/willingness to access services and ultimately, the best course of treatment for your unique situation.

Life's challenges can often feel overwhelming, leaving us seeking answers and solutions. I believe in tailoring therapy to each individual's unique needs, fostering a collaborative and empathetic environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. My therapeutic toolbox includes evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Jungian approach, and existential therapy. By integrating these approaches, we can work together to identify patterns, untangle complexities, and nurture lasting positive change.

Warm welcome! My purpose is to create an intentional and safe space to help clients pursue change, healing, and growth. I support clients as they work through challenges with relationships or creating connection, managing emotions, resolving inner conflicts, and finding greater purpose and meaning. I take a highly integrative and collaborative approach to counselling, combining several therapeutic modalities as well as clients’ ways of knowing and being.

Perhaps you’ve had a recent experience that has affected you deeply, experiencing a emotional or mental shift for some time, or have a past that has somehow found its way to affect the present. I create personalized treatment plans for each client that are grounded in science and research, in order to help every person I work with to achieve their goals. If this sounds like something you would benefit from please reach out to see if my approach is the right fit for you.

Our therapists want to understand the intricate details of your life that make you uniquely you and would be honoured to facilitate the process of your self discovery and healing. We love working with individuals in all walks of life including but not limited to individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, individuals wanting to improve self-esteem, those suffering from grief and loss of relationships, addictions, as well as those individuals looking for support with general life stressors.

Are ruminating thoughts, anxiety or depression interrupting your ability to enjoy life right now? Is life becoming hard to cope with? Withdrawing from social activities and love relationships in your life? Are you sometimes so tired, you can't motivate yourself for even a walk? Would you like to rediscover joy and passion in life, and establish a sense of self-worth that allows you to prioritize your own needs and well-being? You keep trying to figure this all out on your own, yet the guilt and shame from being depressed or angry, just keeps growing.

I provide a compassionate, understanding and healing space for you to work through difficult emotions and life situations. With 30 years of experience behind me, I will help you to improve relationships, relieve stress and anxiety, build self-confidence and rediscover your passion for life. I specialize in helping you to reconnect with the essence of who you are; your Higher Self. I use traditional therapy methods as well as energy healing and card reading if those are of interest to you. Life isn't always easy and sometimes we need someone to walk us through the rough patches. I will walk with you.

My ideal client is someone who acknowledges that their life is in need of some changes. Someone who continues to make the same mistakes over due to not having any other coping mechanisms. Someone who is eager to explore their negative habits and life patterns- and someone who is willing to share/reflect on their struggles with me. My ideal client is someone who is looking for healthy coping strategies and is willing to put in the work! It is not easy- but it will be worth it, I promise you that. You are worth it!

“I am committed to your mental health and wellness.” Through building awareness in an unconditionally accepting therapeutic relationship, my clients are able to develop adaptive ways of coping, learn new ways of relating to others in their lives, and to experience deeper connection, acceptance and respect for themselves and their emotions. I take pride in being authentic and transparent throughout the therapy process and I am passionate about working with people to explore their challenges, strengths and opportunities for growth and change. My style has been described as: Compassionate, Warm, Engaging, Kind, and Committed.

In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, ADHD, OCD, burnout, and trauma. I also offer assessment and diagnostic services. Life can be hard sometimes, and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they're struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers, caregivers, and empaths and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you're tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or simply want to feel better emotionally, you've come to the right place.

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.

People are wonderfully complex beings. It is rare that our suffering and/or distress comes from only one funnel or area of life (although that sometimes is the case!). This is why I believe in taking a holistic approach to therapy. The consideration of nutrition, personal purpose and beliefs, sleep, physical exercise, and social connections can make a huge difference when designing a treatment plan. You are the expert of your own life. My job is to ask meaningful questions, to collect and synthesize information, and work closely with you to design your treatment journey. Let's get started!
