Therapists in T3G

I registered as a Psychologist in Alberta in 2006 and have been in practice in the public school system since 2005. Working within the school environment has allowed me a broad range of experience in conducting Psychoeducational Assessments; I have developed expertise in the areas of Learning Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities, giftedness, anxiety, and ADHD over the course of many years in the public sector. I have experience in conducting comprehensive Psychoeducational and Social/Emotional assessments for students age 6 to 17.

In times of life challenges, we suffer not only as individuals but also in our relationships. Since 2008, it has been my passion to support individuals, couples and families in their quest to turn personal and relationship challenges into opportunities for personal growth and greater connection. I feel privileged to work collaboratively with my clients to help them implement the positive changes they desire to achieve. I welcome you into an inspiring, trusting, safe, non-judgmental and confidential environment for you to discover your strengths, your challenges and your potential that is waiting to be unfolded.

I have had the honor to work in the helping field for more than 12 years. My experience has taught me that whatever someone's concern is for wanting to talk to someone, we are all needing the same thing - relief from emotional pain. Sometimes in that pain we feel hopeless or overwhelmed. Feeling as though we are in a cycle of the same feelings or behaviors that may not be working anymore for us; and that has now created negative consequences in our lives. Whether it is the first time or trying again - knowing that something has to change and needing support is a great place to start to take those steps.

My experience is rooted in trauma focused clinical work, and my practice approach emphasizes applied positive psychology which focuses on people’s strength, traits and qualities that enable flourishing and optimizing wellbeing. I practice in a manner that emphasizes a natural, flexible and genuine style of conversation in an unstructured way to help encourage spontaneous direction and insights. I also integrate several types of modalities into practice, which is informed by formal evidence based trainings in Eye Movement and Sensitization Therapy, CBT, DBT Skills therapy, and Pain Reprocessing.

You want Positive Results and waking up every day and dealing with the challenges of life can be tough enough, let alone if your dealing with the challenging issues of past/current trauma, depression, relational struggles, separation, thoughts of divorce, dealing with grief and loss or just plain feeling stuck in life and not being able to move forward. Any one of those issues in life can prevent you from attaining your personal hopes and dreams. You, as an individual, or couple, living in Calgary, Cochrane, or Airdrie deserve the fighting chance to make changes in your personal life or marriage that will allow you walk in NEW LIFE.

Life can be unexpected and hard. Just as we experience physical injury, we can also experience life circumstances that impact our mental health. On-going stress, past experiences, or challenging situations (e.g. pandemic, loss, increasing job demands, isolation, ect.), can have an enormous impact on our well-being, causing both emotional and physical distress. Using a practical and evidence-based approach, I work with clients to effectively reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, or trauma; to navigate challenging experiences, and promote lasting and desired change in health and life.

You did not realize managing your health and reaching your potential would be so difficult. I want you to know you are not alone. I enjoy working with a diverse clientele looking to achieve their best health, wellness, and performance outcomes. Some clients are looking to take charge of their health and not getting answers in the current healthcare system. I work with athletes of all ages looking to develop a champion mindset, reach the podium, and overcome performance anxiety. When individuals are faced with injury or surgery, we collaborate to speed up recovery times, promote healing, and help them overcome mental roadblocks.

Feeling disconnected from you partner has got you feeling discouraged and frustrated in relationship.

I am currently interning at The Centre for Mental Health and Addictions, focusing on various struggles and needs. As an intern at the Centre, I offer no-cost counselling services to those in need. These services include individuals, couples, and family counselling. I take a collaborative approach to counselling, working with others to best meet their needs.

In challenging times such as those we are experiencing today, it is only normal to feel overwhelmed, anxious, angry and sad. Our world and the life we knew have changed. Some of us lost their jobs, some of us lost activities which were close to their hearts, some of us lost their dreams and plans, and some of us lost their loved ones. Covid-19 constitutes a universal struggle, and it also imposes additional distress for some of us who were already coping with mental health issues. While Covid-19 forces distance, you don't need to be alone with your pain. I believe that every struggle is also an opportunity for personal growth.
