Prolonged Exposure Therapy in T8N

I am a Registered Psychologist in Alberta, with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. I provide treatment to individuals with a variety of anxiety and mood disorders. I have particular interest and specialization in the treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other conditions, including depression, worry, panic and insomnia. I have extensive experience working with active military and veterans, police, fire, paramedics, and other public service personnel impacted by traumatic events and associated concerns.

Are you feeling stuck with lingering bad feelings? Replaying painful experiences in your mind? Living your life in shame and guilt? I am a Registered Psychologist with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Alberta and additional training in evidence-based therapies: Emotion Focused Therapy, EMDR, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I specialize in emotion-based issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, shame, low self-esteem, relationship issues and grief. I welcome and respect individuals of all different backgrounds, experiences and values.

As a registered psychologist I have 17+ yrs experience in working with individuals and groups who have and continue to experience symptoms of PTSD and other trauma related events, loss and grief, addictions (chemical and process), depression, and anxiety. In addition, I provide counselling for various concerns such as stress management, anger issues, and compassion fatigue for professionals. I'm trained in the three gold standard treatments that address symptoms of trauma and stressor related events: EMDR, Prolonged exposure therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy and CBT- Cognitive behavioural therapy for depression & anxiety.

Are you no longer able to manage like you used to? Are you dissatisfied in your relationship and feel unsure what to do next? Are you feeling angrier, sadder, or more irritable? Life can often send challenges our way that we aren't prepared for, which can cause us to feel stuck, scared, and lost. Ultimately, we are all looking to feel at ease in our own skin, fulfilled in our relationships, satisfied with our lives, and free to be ourselves. Therapy is a chance to step back from the way we have always done things so we can make sense of what is going on around and within us. To reconnect with what matters most in a safe environment.

Are you in a loop of self-blame, regret, or anxiety over how events in your life have gone or are going? Would those close to you say you "have it together" but, deep down, circumstances have left you feeling "not good enough"? Has the shame or disappointment eroded trust in your ability to make confident decisions for your relationships, your job, your life direction? Whether symptoms began due to unfortunate luck, a traumatic event, relationship breakdown, etc., I help identify patterns keeping you stuck and offer solution-focused, evidence based strategies to address anxiety, self-doubt, indecision, PTSD, and codependency.

I work with adults and youth who want to work through any kind of suffering. This may involve building a life worth living, learning healthy emotional control. to feel better overall, or stopping a nagging problem.

Life can be difficult. Trying to address these difficulties ourselves may feel overwhelming.

I believe in highlighting strengths, and empowering clients to achieve therapy goals. I respect how each person's needs within therapy are unique, so a primary focus of mine is the development of a meaningful therapeutic relationship so I can clearly understand and support those unique needs.
