Therapists in T2G

I specialize in anxiety, trauma-related difficulties, and life transitions. These often show up as depression, stress, sleep difficulties, and affected relationships. I can help you heal from physical and sexual abuse. Together, we can navigate transitions and find your personal power. My goal is to help you develop a sense of your own power and identity. Sometimes I am the "expert" with the knowledge and experience, other times I simply listen to you in your painful moments. At all times, I am here entirely for you and always on your side.

We all carry multiple stories about our selves, our lives, and our experiences. There are parts in our stories that are sometimes hidden from our awareness. It is in the calm noticing, re-discovery, and re-telling of our stories that we can find and connect with parts of ourselves that may need healing, and also parts of ourselves that are insightful, strong, and brilliant even in the midst of hardship and darkness. Through facilitating, witnessing, and holding space together, we can engage in our personal work of healing. I look forward to connecting with you.

I offer sliding fee scales, and complimentary consultations. I work from a holistic, client centered approach to support the client in an evidence based ethical way. My theoretical approaches involve supporting your current situation via a systems approach, mindfulness and exploring any somatic responses you may be experiencing. Areas of clinical experience include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, self esteem, grief and stress.

I offer a space to help people to feel understood and accepted while working together collaboratively. I understand that although our past can influence our present, it does not dictate the future. I believe treatment plans and interventions are best when they are tailored to match client’s individual needs. Since I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is key, I help clients explore strengths while empowering them to work towards growth and outcomes. I have a passion for working with children, youth, individuals and families and draw from my past 20 years of experience working in mental health.

I enjoy working with clients that need help with anxiety, mild to moderate depression, emotional abuse, burnout, time management, perfectionism, over-responsibility, sensitivity and relationship concerns. Additionally I specialize in helping adult children deal with unhealthy families and make positive changes. For individuals I use methods proven by research, but also tailor the treatment plan to what you feel will work for you best. For couples, I use Gottman based methods, to yield long lasting results. Too often people cycle back into problems, fearing therapy didn't really help. I work to assist you in healing problems at the root.

A Holistic Approach to Therapy. New Clients Welcome! Take a moment, 30 seconds will do. Breathe in slowly, hold it there for a second, slowly let your breath out. Repeat if you wish. Imagine being able to quiet the mind of the past, present and future echoes. Perhaps these thoughts have been causing you distress in your life. Becoming vulnerable to these thoughts can cause additional hardships, and becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable is difficult. However, the good news is that you already possess the skills needed to address these issues. I will help you to uncover and practice these skills for clarity.

I feel honoured to support clients through many different types of challenges. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder, as well as self harm and thoughts of suicide. I enjoy working with anyone who wants to make a change in their life, be it in their relationships, their lifestyle, or improving their mental health.

I am accepting new clients, and able to offer some sliding scale. Well, hello, you!

My name’s Heather, and I am a dedicated and passionate therapist in Calgary offering Narrative, Sex, and Couples+ Therapy.

I enjoy working with youth, adolescents, couples, and families and brings a gentle and empathetic presence to each client session. I understand that clients may desire to integrate spirituality into their therapy, and I am willing to use my Christian faith, and other spiritual resources to guide clients through difficulty and challenge.

I believe there is an innate strength in all of us; I also know that living a fulfilling and meaningful life can be a profoundly challenging task. If you are struggling with a life transition, depression, anxiety, or behaviors and emotions that aren't comfortable for you, counselling may be able to help you shift things. A therapist with compassion, empathy, and a base of knowledge about human behavior and psychology can be an extremely powerful agent in achieving change.

Experienced Ph.D. level registered psychologist, practicing in Calgary since 1987. I enjoy helping motivated individuals in therapy. I combine clinical training with personal authenticity and sensitivity to diversity and socialization influences on how we handle what we are facing. Effective therapy is collaborative and empowering, with therapist and clients working together to make positive changes towards the clients' goals. This may involve learning to self-soothe, anti-depressant behaviours, and homework between sessions. Good therapy builds on strengths.
