Therapists in Edmonton, AB

I have the ability and compassion to hold a safe and confidential space for individuals to process their emotions surrounding traumatic experience and events. My aim is to customize a treatment plan which fit your mental health needs. My style is supportive and engaging; to collaborate with you through a strength- based approach to support your therapeutic needs. Through therapy, you will have the opportunity to develop your individual strength and foster personal growth in a non-judgmental environment.

A psychological assessment looks at how well you are functioning, including looking at factors like memory, executive functions, academic abilities, thinking skills, and behaviour (ADHD, Autism, etc.). It can also look at aspects of mental health, such as depression and anxiety, to see how these might be impacting your day-to-day experiences. My background in neuroscience has helped me develop a deep appreciation and passion for the brain and how it works. I integrate this knowledge to better understand all the factors that might be impacting your unique situation in order to provide appropriate options and recommendations for you.

From time to time everyone experiences periods of conflict, stress, anxiety, grief, and sadness; and we know how hard life can be! Feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed with these emotions, and noticing limitations in our abilities to function may indicate we need to talk to a professional! While trained in multiple therapy modalities such as Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, EFT and others; I combine and tailor these for a collaborative, strength-based, and personalized experience within an interactive approach.

I work with clients challenged with repeat relapsing with Addictions, Substance Use Disorders, and other Mental Health related disorders or Maladaptive behaviours who have never done treatment before or have successfully done treatment several times but gave up after several repeated relapses and are being referred for treatment due to mild or moderate-to-severe Substance Use Disorder. I use personalized teletherapy treatments using CBT and REBT therapies along with my signature RElapseREScue brief interventions from the masterclasses “How to become motivated and committed to Change”, and "How to REScue YourSELF from a RElapse".

I am passionate about the therapeutic process and privileged when a client allows me to join them in theirs. My approach balances the art and science of therapy by using evidence-based treatments and tailoring them to be most effective for you. I believe in being as authentic as possible so I stay genuinely curious and collaborate with you to make sense of emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. I value taking a strength-based approach and promoting a safe and non-judgmental environment that empowers you to engage in the meaningful work of self-discovery, acceptance, and change.

I have 10+ years working with clients experiencing anxiety, mood disorders, school refusal, friendship concerns, navigating family relationships, suicidal ideation/self-harm, and sexual/gender identity. I have worked with adult and youth clients with these concerns, along with relationships, infidelity, and parenting. My practice also includes working with couples, polycules, and consensual non-monogamy. I feel we all have a huge capacity for resilience and learning and enjoy co-creating successful therapeutic relationships which are trauma-informed and recognize client's lived experiences.

My ideal clients are adults who are struggling with life transitions, mood disorders, personality disorders or making any desired changes in their life. I have built my counselling practice around mindfulness, with a special interest in Mindful Self-Compassion. I am dedicated to helping adults learn to develop the confidence to create change and heal from depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, body image concerns and low self esteem.

Therapy is a unique individual journey that requires trust, honesty, and authenticity at its core from day one. I strive for all these qualities with clients and to use my clinical skills to foster successful healing and growth that addresses current mental health challenges and in the pursuit of long-term sustainable mental health and wellness. My clinical practice is grounded in an anti-oppressive, anti-racism, and social justice foundation, and I specialize in individual therapy with adolescents (ages 12-19) and adults of all ages.

I specialize in facilitating the journey towards post - traumatic growth following trauma, PTSD, attachment injuries and similar adversities. Are you experiencing prolonged periods of distressing thoughts, memories, dreams or physical reactions? Do you feel detached and avoiding certain people, places, situations? Do you feel chronically tense, numb, sad, helpless, angry? Are you experiencing strong negative reactions to unexpected sounds or touch? These are some of the most frequent reactions reported by my clients after experiencing psychological trauma and attachment injuries. What is post - traumatic growth?

I absolutely love working with clients who are navigating trauma and learning to process big emotions. Life is incredibly complex, and being able to hold space for you in this way is an honour.

Hi there! So glad you are here :) I am honoured to hold space for your story. My passion is the walk of healing and on this journey there are many guides that step alongside us to offer knowledge and advice. If you will allow me, I would be honoured to step alongside you for a time. Have you experienced trauma in your life? Do you struggle with a sense of loss or grief? I can help you unpack and process through experiences of the past in a kind, compassionate way. Emotions can be loud and overwhelming, but what they are asking for is love and compassion.

It can feel overwhelming when you are someone who is usually content and productive in life and find yourself struggling to get out of bed, leave the house, or be in relationship with others. It is important to know that we all struggle with our mental health at some point in our lives and it can be difficult to take the first step and seek help. If you are ready, our work together will be to build on your strengths and develop the insights, knowledge, and skills necessary to get relief from your suffering.

Grief is a deeply painful, lonely, and isolating experience. When someone we care about dies, our relationship ends in divorce, or we experience any of the other 40 forms of loss, we often feel unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with our emotions. The wonderful news is, grief does not have to be a life sentence of suffering. There are actionable tools that can help you to move beyond the pain caused by a loss in your life. Whether you are grieving due to a recent loss or a loss from long ago, it is never too soon or too late to heal your heart.
