Strength-Based Therapists in Fort Saskatchewan, AB

Life is full of unexpected events that can leave us feeling confused, lost, overwhelmed and sometimes alone. I understand that each story is unique. I am passionate about working with clients who are working through relationship concerns (separation, divorce, reconciliation), changing family structures (blended, step-family and parenting), as well as individual issues such as anxiety, depression, women’s issues and adolescent concerns. I work in collaboration with clients to assist in identifying core strengths. I keep a manageable client list so you aren’t left waiting weeks for an appointment. Book online today!

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.

I would love to have the opportunity to work with you on challenges affecting your day-to-day life. I enjoy working with children, teens and adults and have 20 years of teaching and training experience in addition to my counselling training. My personal experiences with trauma, grief and loss, and ADHD have led me to want to help others through these experiences. I believe this greatly assists me in understanding and honouring your experiences. I strive to provide a safe space to share and learn new skills to build the life you want in line with your values and beliefs.

I believe that all people have a natural affinity toward growth and healing. As a psychologist it is my role to provide a safe, non-judgemental and compassionate space to explore concerns as they arise. I honour the strengths and abilities that each person brings to therapy and use these as important and valuable resources to move toward wellness. Equality and understanding problems within the context in which they occur are also important tenants of my work. Through connection and collaboration, I work together with clients to find the right solutions for them.

Hello! Are you feeling stuck, not quite yourself, or unfulfilled? Are you struggling with emotional regulation caused by anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma? I have over 25 years of experience working in the mental health field. My journey started with working with children, adolescents, adults, groups, and families years ago. As I worked closely with people over the years, I realized I wanted to offer more to people in a more profound, more meaningful way, which now has me working as a therapist who provides trauma-informed care to people of all ages. I offer people the care, connection, and support they seek.

Life can sometimes be a bit of a handful. Feelings of stress, overwhelm, and/or maybe just not knowing where to turn or what to do next. Often those times of challenge are our greatest growth, but it is difficult to see the opportunity for growth at the time. Sometimes just talking about those challenges, can help one gain perspective and develop a plan forward. My goal in therapy is to provide my clients with an objective perspective to see their problems or challenges differently, perhaps less daunting, helping them find a way forward. Life happens to all of us. I believe people are more capable than they realize.

Imagine being able to sleep well at night, regulate your emotions, be in relationship, meet your own needs, and make confident decisions. If you have yet to find a way to move forward, I invite you to a free initial consult.

Sometimes our life gets pretty overwhelming, leaving us feeling like we are caught in a winter storm without any sight of warmer, brighter days.
