Elders (65+) Therapists in Saskatoon, SK

I have always had a great love for people and animals, which has led my Social Work practice to where it is today. As a Certified Animal Assisted Therapist with a Bachelors Degree in Social Work I am able to incorporate animals into the therapeutic process to assist all my clients through their personal journey. I truly believe and have personally witnessed how animals have such an amazing ability to understand us and help us heal through our struggles.

We are each on a journey in search of safety, meaning, and fulfillment. Along the way we are constantly exposed to images and ideals of how we are supposed to look, how we are supposed to feel, and how we are supposed to behave. We start to doubt our uniqueness or our worth. I aim to create safe spaces to talk about things that might seem too personal, taboo, shameful, trivial, or embarrassing to share with others in your life. Together we can examine limiting beliefs about yourself, old stories of who you are and how you "should" be in the world, so you can start to live by choice, not by chance.

Accepting new online clients! Living with chronic illness, disability, or neurodivergence is hard. Getting through the overwhelm of everyday life feels impossible. You're starting to feel like all you think about is your condition and everything it has taken away from you - work, hobbies, sleep, relationships. Your family and friends don’t get it.

Too often, people struggle and suffer needlessly in life. They dwell on the negative, struggling in pain and indecision. They might feel overwhelmed by negative emotions – anger at injustices, pain at injuries, grief over loss. Perhaps they feel saddened and discouraged over repeated disappointments in life or work. They might be experiencing anxiety, confusion, sadness, or depression. But it doesn’t have to be this way. There is a way through this maze of negative emotions. Change is possible.
