Therapists in T5N

**Accepting new clients** Why do people come to therapy? Oftentimes people are facing a struggle that doesn’t seem manageable on their own. Others may feel stuck, unheard, overwhelmed, or just need an unbiased and empathetic ear. Whatever the reason for coming to therapy may be, establishing trust is my first priority.

I am a Registered Psychologist with over 19 years of experience in private practice in Edmonton and St. Albert. While my practice incorporates much diversity, there is a hope focused emphasis in working with individuals, teens and their parents, families, couples, and groups. I support individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, and with couples seeking marriage counseling. My counseling approach focuses on the uniqueness of each client's experiences to promote personal enhancement and growth.

Trans? Autistic? Fat? Queer? Come on in and join the party.​ If you've found us, it's probably because you (or your relationship or your family) are a little different. Maybe you have a specific set of unique personalities in your family. Maybe you want a practice that is overtly queer-friendly. Maybe you've got a new diagnosis of ADHD or autism on your hands. Maybe you have a bunch of labels but what you really want to talk about is being lonely. Your problems don't fit in a neat little category, and you don't have a nice little summary of who you are, where you came from, and what is ailing you.

I believe our deepest wounds often occur because our relationships with others are less than ideal. Counselling helps by providing a safe, judgement-free space to process how these relationships create maladaptive assumptions about ourselves, the world, and our safety in it. We are then able to begin creating and testing new assumptions and ways of interacting with ourselves and the people around us.

As well as working with individuals, families and groups, I have a special interest in working with couples.

Accepting new clients for individual adult counselling. I have a significant history of working with trauma and substance use, and I am trained in EMDR Therapy. I take a person-centered and wholistic approach, meeting you where you are at and collaborating with you on your healing goals. I’m experienced in both abstinence based and harm reduction approaches, viewing addiction as the symptom of underlying hurt/pain that often stems from trauma. My role is to ask questions, share information, support, and provide feedback while creating a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering space for healing. www.ckps.ca

Welcome! You feel like you feel for very good reasons. Symptoms of anxiety and depression are a natural response to real life experiences. Unfortunately, we can struggle to find our internal resources when these events occur, and then we have great difficulty using our resources and natural wisdom to make changes to get better. I work within a range of CBT and DBT informed strategies, to gain mastery over problems that can seem unsolvable. Are you frustrated and curious about why it can be so hard to get the basic things that you want in life? Is it hard to even know what you want? Do you wonder where to start? I can help.

Hi there! Firstly, thank you for being here. As a psychologist, I believe in a collaborative and client centred approach to therapy. I am truly passionate about assisting individuals in navigating life's transitions, fostering emotional regulation, nurturing personal confidence and self-esteem, providing support during times of grief and loss, and cultivating a healthier mindset.
