Therapists in T5K

Seeking counselling can feel intimidating. My goal is to create a safe space where my clients can cultivate self-awareness, develop insights, explore different ways of navigating life challenges, and learn new coping strategies to make a helpful shift. I genuinely care about my clients, am non-judgemental, relatable, and empathetic. My counselling style is collaborative, engaging, and feedback orientated.

****NOT CURRENTLY BOOKING NEW CLIENTS. I am a doctoral-level psychologist who has provided psychotherapy and assessment for over 15 years in the Alberta area. I have training in many treatment modalities; however, I mostly use Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (CBT) to address a range of issues including trauma and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, panic, OCD, perfectionism, grief, substance use difficulties, as well as identity and relationship struggles.

Do you need someone to talk to? I offer a safe space where you can feel free to express yourself. If you're feeling stressed, anxious or depressed, it can be overwhelming. You may not know how to navigate your feelings. I want to help you move from anxiousness to calm, from depression to feeling hopeful. Having an experienced professional listen to you and offer tools to support you is vital.

Before becoming a registered psychologist I was a classroom teacher for ten years; as such, I deeply enjoy working with children, adolescents, and their families. A great deal of my work has been in increasing communication among family members. I enjoy working with parents of LGBTQ children and joining them on their journey of acceptance and adjustment. I also work with individuals struggling with setting personal boundaries and those suffering from depression, and anxiety.

As a registered psychologist who has worked with people from all walks of life, I am consistently struck by the resilience and strength of the human character. Yet, I also recognize the immense vulnerability that can come from reaching out and asking for help. Thus, it is with a deep sense of respect and care that I approach the therapeutic relationship and the important work we do. As such, my intention is to provide you with a warm, safe, and relaxed environment where we work through the issues that matter most to you.

Honoring your intuitive wisdom, I seek to empower you in reclaiming your wellness. Working from a holistic frame, I believe that the source for all healing and lasting change is rooted in the mind-body-spirit triad, as well as the family-community connection. I support persons of all ages and histories in finding those resources that may guide them towards experiencing greater satisfaction in their daily living, sense of well-being, and in their key relationships. Using a variety of approaches, I tailor the therapeutic experience to best match each client's needs at any given point in therapy.

Do you think seeing a psychologist is only for those with mental health problems? What if you could be happier, more productive and calmer by going to therapy? In therapy I can assist you to become more objective and think more rationally about your life situation. Together we can discover new perspectives about the problems you are dealing with. The problems may not go away, but we can alleviate your distress so you don't feel too overwhelmed or saddened by it.

As a clinician, I am passionate about supporting you to live an authentic and fulfilling life. You are my ideal client if you are ready to engage in therapy to help you to move forward from traumatic experiences or events, to pursue transition, to develop new coping skills, and/or to deal with life stresses and anxiety.

Stress can impact the whole person and trauma can turn one's world upside down. Sexual and physical assault, combat, or serious accidents are all examples of traumatic events that can cause an array of distressing symptoms. Anxiety, depression, flashbacks, nightmares along with nausea, and chronic muscle tension are common. I specialize in the treatment of trauma and PTSD and I can help you learn new ways of managing stressful memories and feelings. My experience working with combat veterans and survivors of recent and childhood sexual abuse also provides much needed insight and sensibility into these matters.

I believe that clients' vast lived experiences contribute to beliefs they hold about themselves and in turn, the roles they play in life. These impressions - positive and negative - affect further thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and are often maintained by various external factors such as family of origin themes. Collaboratively, I help clients evaluate the legitimacy and usefulness of distressing "stories" that present in their lives, encourage new awareness of societal or extended family influences, and facilitate the exploration of new solutions whereby troublesome problems can be disempowered. Ultimately, my goal with clients is to help them access flexibility and new options.

Dreams symbolically describe both our individuating struggles and the authentic way to effect lasting change in the interest of our wholeness. But consciousness of dream content is not accomplished alone or without an analyst's capacity to recognize your own psyche's objectivity in your unconscious. Carl Jung said, 'Only what is really oneself has the power to heal.' I welcome a companioned exploration at this significant juncture where the flow of life has been interrupted--a pivotal moment that can leave one feeling stuck, depressed, anxious or overwhelmed, challenging our usual ways of coping. Yet, transformation is also at hand.

I believe that everyone has the capacity and potential to live a meaningful life. Sometimes the challenges we face, however, can shake our confidence and make that life seem unattainable. You may be reading this while in the thick of these challenges. I’ve been there, and I get it. Water provides me inspiration as I strive towards my ‘good life’. Water is adaptive and determined. It cuts through obstacles and overcomes barriers to forge a new path. I'm an experienced therapist with the privilege of supporting people like you with a desire for change and the will for support. Let's work together to carve a new path forward.

I am a registered psychologist specializing in Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and PTSD. I previously conducted research at the University of Alberta, designing a treatment center intended to treat children of sexual abuse. I completed my Master's degree in counselling psychology at City University in Edmonton, Alberta. Prior to that I completed two Bachelor degrees in Psychology and Organizational Studies with a specialization in human resources. I aim to provide my clients with as much time and comfort as they need until they feel safe and secure.
