Elders (65+) Therapists in T6B

There are often obstacles in life, and I strive to help people find their way through them, by offering a caring, safe, and empathetic environment for them to share their feelings, explore solutions, develop their strength, and create change.

​Life can feel chaotic and uncomfortable at times. I appreciate the opportunity to work with individuals, couples and family systems to make positive sustainable shifts. Engaging in therapy can be a challenge as the road is not always straightforward. I have confidence to be able to work with you on your specific goals and find meaningful change in the process. Utilizing evidence-based practice we will form an intention focusing on discipline and clearly defined treatment goals to give you the positive outcomes you are looking for. Life can be a grind at times and I believe in shifting gears:)

I value working with adult individuals from all walks of life. I have 17 plus years working in the Addiction and Mental Health field. Whether you are feeling stuck, ambivalent or confused we can explore ways together to achieve your own hopes and dreams. I provide a safe and collaborative environment that fosters exploring change and growth. My style is warm, supportive and nurturing. I strive to treat all of my clients with unconditional acceptance and compassion. I hope we as a team together will be active in pursuing your personal goals for therapy.

As humans, it is not uncommon to sometimes find yourself in a position where you feel lost, frightened and all alone. I am here to support you in whatever way you need, whether it's to identify the roadblocks, redefine your identity or embrace your true self, this can be achieved by working collaboratively in a safe, respectful, empathic environment where trust is fundamental to the process. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds where cultural sensitivity is prime.

Grief is a deeply painful, lonely, and isolating experience. When someone we care about dies, our relationship ends in divorce, or we experience any of the other 40 forms of loss, we often feel unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with our emotions. The wonderful news is, grief does not have to be a life sentence of suffering. There are actionable tools that can help you to move beyond the pain caused by a loss in your life. Whether you are grieving due to a recent loss or a loss from long ago, it is never too soon or too late to heal your heart.

Are you looking for a therapist that specializes in relationship and couples issues, trauma, PTSD, anxiety and addictions? Have you ever experienced a traumatic event, recent or what seems a long time ago that occupies your mind, negatively impacts your daily life and feels like it's not over? Do you worry about the future, avoid or distract from feeling painful thoughts and emotions? Are you struggling in relationship with not feeling heard, understood, disconnected, ignored, at war with each other or just feel stuck? I can offer a place of support, safety, understanding in learning the origins and ways of addressing the issues.

I want to help you achieve emotional health and change the way you feel about the past, your abilities and your relationships. I specialize in Pre-marital Counseling, Couples Counseling, Grief Counseling and Individual Counseling . Ill help you find your way out of behavioural patterns you want to change.

Society used to look at mental health issues as something to be ashamed of, but we don't have to any more. Mental health, like physical health, is something that absolutely everyone must work at to feel good. It's rewarding work, but it isn't always easy. Traumatic events or even just daily struggles can sometimes lead to addictions, poor relationships with others, or strong feelings of disconnection and worthlessness. The resources we need to stay balanced, to grow, and to feel whole are within each of us, but sometimes we have trouble finding them on our own.

You’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious and depressed; weighed down by hurt, shame and insecurity, and feeling “not enough.” You’ve been thinking, if you just do more, things will get better, but they aren’t and it’s impacting your relationships, your work and yourself. You are not alone. I’ve worked with many others with these same concerns.

It isn’t necessary to stay stuck (or alone) in painful situations or challenging circumstances. Therapy/counselling provides an opportunity to uncover and discover new understandings, strengths and resiliencies in self (and others). Therapy provides a safe space to develop action plans to explore difficult life and relationship (couple, family/parenting, separation) issues or work/career concerns. Therapy also provides a safe space to explore and develop skills in managing mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, OCD, ODD, etc. No problem is too big for therapy. Clinical Supervision is also available.
