Elders (65+) Therapists in T6H

I would describe myself as an empathic, thoughtful, and easy-going individual who is devoted to helping those going through stressful and difficult times. I work from a client-centered approach with the belief that my clients are the experts of their own lives. I emphasize building strong therapeutic relationships. My most important priority is to create a safe and supportive environment for you. With support, also comes challenging you to become the best version of yourself. As your therapist, I take the perspective that you and I are fellow travelers on a journey towards healing and self-actualization.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that healing occurs within a safe and trusting relationship, whether with oneself, one’s environment, or another person. I also believe that every client is an expert in their own experience. I, therefore, approach therapy from a strength-based perspective, aiming to build relationships with clients, understand their needs, help them set goals that align with their unique needs and personal strengths, and explore available solutions that lead us toward these therapeutic goals. As a Metis therapist, I am also particularly sensitive to the needs of Indigenous people.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck or burned out? Whether you are looking to make some changes in your life, struggling with a difficult situation, or are just looking for a safe and supportive place to talk, I can help. Clients describe me as warm, supportive and approachable. Within the context of a safe and caring relationship, we will work together to find tools to help you cope with the issues you're struggling with in order to make positive, lasting changes in your life. I offer individual therapy as well as family therapy for 2 family members at a time.

Welcome to my page! It takes courage to be here. I love working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and identities. I’ve had the pleasure of working with LGBTQIA2S+ & neurodiverse folks, people with visible/invisible disabilities, and people at different intersections of these identities. If you’d like help to identify, regulate, and communicate your emotions to understand yourself better and facilitate your relationships, I’m here for you! With my clients, I explore and work on topics such as life transitions, neurodiversity, interpersonal relationships, painful childhood experiences, grief & loss, and more.

I believe that every person has worth and value and that we are created for connection and relationship - relationship with ourselves, others, and the Divine. BUT - life can be hard and we can lose our way on all three levels. When we are relationally out of sink we tend to repeat old coping patterns that no longer serve us well. Healing comes when we take the "filter off" and courageously find our voice in a brave - safe space. We talk, we listen, we process and we heal. I have been in those places and know that change happens.

I am a doctoral-level Registered Psychologist with 10 years of education and training. I specialize in working with adults and couples, and have experience with a wide range of concerns. My approach is based on creating and maintaining a calm, supportive, and safe environment in which we can work towards your goals. I believe that people have the capacity to grow and change, and the inner resources to do so. My role is to help guide clients to these inner resources, and support change that focuses on establishing more effective life strategies.

As a Registered Psychologist, my goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for individuals, couples and families as they navigate setbacks and discover their own resiliency.

I understand that every person is unique and has different needs. I take time to understand a client’s natural strengths. Working alongside them, clients are able to develop new skills and resources to support them in a way that is complementary and fitting to their lifestyle. With specialized training in trauma, I work with clients who have experienced sexual, physical, emotional and/or financial abuse. Additionally, I work with clients who would like support with anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and relationships.

Many people struggle with confidence and are unable to fulfill their goals for relationships, work, and personal fulfillment. Understanding how your core values and beliefs impact aspects of your life such as work, relationships, and overall fulfillment can give you the power to overcome these struggles. Through learning to accept and love yourself fully you can move past shame that is likely impacting how you feel and behave. Through awareness of your power to change the meaning you give to events within your childhood, you can become free from limiting beliefs.

I offer personalized therapy that works. I'm committed to helping you feel better, achieve your goals, and overcome any challenge, be it intrusive thoughts, painful and intense emotions, or posttraumatic stress from issues like combat or sexual trauma, accidents, abuse, assault, death, or suicide. I work with couples and adults dealing with trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), anxiety, panic, depression, grief, ADHD, and relationship issues. I focus on supporting couples and adults within military, police, correctional, emergency medical, healthcare, and fire rescue services confronting challenges like PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

People tend to walk through life without slowing down enough to reflect on their lives and the decisions that they have made. Often people put one foot in front of the other and later realize that they are truly unhappy with how life has been going.Through therapy we will spend time finding out the root cause of what challenges are preventing true happiness. This process will help you understand how your challenges originated and help you learn to construct a new foundation.

Psychotherapy creates a safe place where issues and difficulties can be put on the table and looked at - with no judgement, with patience and courage. My job is to help you face and accept yourself, to take responsibility for your self in a way that safeguards your integrity. Psychotherapy is private. Psychotherapy should help you look closely at the tough stuff. It is not always easy but it should honour both your humanness and your dignity. There is a Paul Preston out there that advocates spanking (that's not me).

I am a Registered Psychologist with 10+ years of experience. I work with individual adults and couples who have feelings of anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. I have worked with women fleeing domestic violence, children who have experienced trauma, and couples who have gone through infidelity and other life changes.

I enjoy working with clients with a variety of intersecting identities, and particularly love working with women. Our culture downplays and undervalue women's health and emotional well-being, despite their important roles in our society! Women come to therapy with unique issues, experiences, and needs including stress and burnout, relationship challenges, caregiver fatigue, anxiety, depression, and trauma. These issues are often rooted in cultural and relational narratives that may not align with their values. Together we can evaluate these narratives and work toward a better understanding of identity and agency.

My goal is to provide a collaborative, open and supportive space for you to explore your experiences. I am trauma informed, gender and sexuality affirming and kink and poly friendly. I strive to create space for a variety of cultural backgrounds and I can offer a sliding scale to ensure counselling isn't financially prohibitive. I work from an existential, client-centered, and feminist perspective and believe strongly that everyone is capable of healing.

I am a Registered Psychologist and have been supporting children, teens and adults in a few positions over 15 years. With this experience, I have grown a love of supporting clients that have experienced perinatal grief and mood disorders and parenting struggles/transitions, in addition to other concerns such as grief, relationship issues, and depression, anxiety and stress. My clients can expect empathy with a dose of practicality, humour and honesty. My passion is attachment-focused parenting. I understand that parenting is the most important/difficult job out there, it is my honour to help.

Personal burnout? Work burnout? Do you struggle with anxiety, trauma, or depression, that affects all areas of your life? Are you overwhelmed by high standards, perfectionism, toxic workplaces, and suffocated by the expectations you place on yourself? Now more than ever, people are finding it incredibly hard to find happiness in this world, create work-life balance, and find meaning and purpose in their lives. As the top burnout specialist in the country, I am the only provider to have completed both a masters and doctorate in burnout syndrome - I am well equipped to help you turn this ship around.
