The childhood years and the child-rearing years are some of the most wonderful, but also the most challenging stages of life. Even in the most difficult moments, we are doing the absolute best we can, given our circumstance and the skills we have.
DBT Skills Group enables you to access the transformative knowledge and skills of Dialectical Behavior Therapy in a safe and supportive group setting. We’ll focus less on talk therapy, more on the practical how-to of managing your thoughts and emotions when you’re feeling triggered or stressed.
“Dialectical” refers to things that seem like opposites but can both be true—like acceptance and change. You learn the skills to find “The Middle Path” between these opposites, accepting the difficulties while changing your thoughts and behavior to build a life worth living—whatever that looks like for you.

I believe we all have the capacity to heal and learn how to live a life worth living, despite challenging and painful experiences in our lives. I believe the coping strategies we develop can start creating problems if we don’t address the underlying cause. Therapy is a safe space to explore, identify, address and resolve these issues, often creating transformational growth. With over 30 years’ experience working with, and treating clients with a variety of mental health, addictions and trauma related issues, I have delivered therapy through individual and group work, and I am passionate about both approaches.
Do you feel excessively worried in various social situations such as when having a conversation, when meeting unfamiliar people, if giving a speech or performing in front of others? Do you fear that you will be negatively evaluated, embarrassed, rejected or offensive to others? Does it cause avoidance or do you endure it with intense fear or anxiety? Research says the best way to overcome these fears is to face them, so lets face them together and learn to kick social anxiety in the butt! Join our 6 session series co hosted by Stefanie Gescher R. Psych starting Oct. 8th.

We all carry multiple stories about our selves, our lives, and our experiences. There are parts in our stories that are sometimes hidden from our awareness. It is in the calm noticing, re-discovery, and re-telling of our stories that we can find and connect with parts of ourselves that may need healing, and also parts of ourselves that are insightful, strong, and brilliant even in the midst of hardship and darkness. Through facilitating, witnessing, and holding space together, we can engage in our personal work of healing. I look forward to connecting with you.

***EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS AVAILABLE *** I work with individuals who are struggling with a wide range of concerns. Many find it challenging to identify and regulate their emotions. They often act impulsively and struggle to maintain consistency in their day-to-day life. Many of the individuals I work with find interpersonal relationships challenging and may even vacillate between pushing people away and clinging to people. It is not uncommon for clients to currently be or to have previously engaged in self-harm and/or suicide ideation.
Join a live, virtual 12 week class and learn a new DBT skill each week while in the comfort of your home. Our upcoming group is open to adults living in Alberta and Saskatchewan. It will run on Monday evenings from 6-8pm (MST), starting on September 9th, 2024. The goal of the group is for you to learn concrete and practical skills that you can immediately use in your everyday life. You will learn at least one skill every week in four areas: mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.

Update: I am now able to see clients virtually from Saskatchewan (and Alberta). Many of my clients experience their emotions quickly, deeply and for long periods of time. It's not uncommon the situations which bring them to therapy, are actually attempts to solve emotional challenges. Many find relationships confusing and hard to navigate. Overall, my clients describe feeling like everyone else can handle their emotions, yet their experience is painful and problematic. The common goal is being able to better tolerate and manage their emotions/mental health, in order to live the life they want.

Getting to the point where you feel like you need therapy can feel awful. You have probably tried many ways of getting better and they haven't worked for you or not well enough. Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed, confused, powerless and disconnected from yourself and others? You don't need to feel like you aren't good enough. You don't need to feel stuck in anger, sadness, fear or disgust. You don't need to feel like your past is heavy and weighing you down in the present. You can process your past so you can live in the present moment. You can feel good about yourself and connect to others. You deserve joy now and in the future.
