Picture a sacred space of human connection that invites you to make room for the complexity of emotions and healing in relationships. In our sessions, I invite you to cozy up with a warm cup of tea, slow down, and reconnect with yourself, practicing self-acceptance through exploration. From a place of gentleness and curiosity, I aim to help you navigate the thoughts, feelings, and sensations that seem too big to carry alone. Because, I believe that healing begins with the permission to embrace our messy, imperfect selves. I also offer trauma-informed movement & yoga classes and group therapy.

Does life keep catching up with you and knocking you off balance? Maybe you’re weighed down by worry, dread, exhaustion, or pain. Sometimes you look around and wonder, how did I get here? You might not recognize your work, relationships, body or home as they changed while you were busy taking care of everything and everyone else. Your empathy and compassion is a great strength, and yet there is a cost to caring that impacts your health and well-being. I help people with chronic illness, chronic pain, self-esteem, trauma and PTSD to have more energy & enjoy a renewed sense of purpose. It is possible to find a good balance.

Looking for an adult autism assessment with a neurodivergent psychologist? Feeling dismissed by people who don’t understand medical trauma or how hard it is to stop masking? You have the right to feel accepted, heard, and believed—even during an assessment! I was “late-diagnosed” and understand how relieving a diagnosis can be after decades of feeling misunderstood and exhausted. My assessments are thorough and the options were entirely designed by autistic people, who I routinely work with to refine things. You can do the entire assessment from home and take the time you need. Do a FREE self-screen on my site here: www.ndpsych.com

Are you feeling increasingly drained, emotionally reactive, or resentful? Do you take on too many responsibilities and worry about disappointing others? Is it hard to ask for help because you need things done right or do not want to be a burden? If so, you are not alone. Many of my clients do amazing work, care deeply for others, and are driven by high standards for themselves– but despite their best efforts and successes, they feel overwhelmed and struggle with self-worth. They may appear to be confident and living ideal lives, but they deal with high-functioning anxiety and have difficulties speaking up for their own needs.

In my practice I work with members of the community and first responders who have experienced traumatic events. This involves work with active-duty members of the Canadian Forces, members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, firefighters, medical personnel and others who are directly or vicariously impacted by traumatic events. I also routinely work with members of the community who have endured traumatic events of different kinds. I invite you to watch my TedX talk from 2011 in which I discuss Trauma, Change and Resilience for an introduction to how I think about trauma and its impact.

We all need support and we should never feel like we are alone through our life journey. I encourage people to use what they might believe as negativity and transform it into positivity. It is when we feel most down and vulnerable that opportunities can present themselves. Through 23 years of business consulting and working through a broad range of challenges I leverage these experiences and provide the guidance needed to build new paths forward. I use a personalized, customized therapeutic approach, because we are all unique and need very specific formulas for navigating through life.

My practice, over the years, has become more and more attuned to problems of conflict and issues of violence. As a trained child psychologist, I have seen first hand the raw damage an emotional injury continues to create. As a clinician, it has not been unusual for me to see the same sorts of trauma: yet locked away in one's memory, living on in current behaviour. This is what conflict can do. The issues just seem to keep on repeating themselves, inevitably with the same unfortunate outcomes. (My role sometimes is the Life Coach who becomes a personal guide.)

Please note I've changed my name to Kali. Over the past 18 years, my approach has explored connecting the mind, body, and spirit and so I utilize various techniques from these diverse traditions. I work to provide a welcoming space to explore the uniqueness of this human journey and marvel at the wisdom of our bodies to find healing despite difficult traumas and challenges. I bridge the world of psychology and spirituality to create curiosity about the interplay between these worlds and how we fit in the middle. I provide preparation and integration support for clients participating in Psychedelic Therapies.

Being a person is HARD. Maybe life has been feeling more difficult than usual. Maybe something happened recently that made it clear you needed support. Or maybe you just woke up today and decided it’s time to stop avoiding things. Regardless of how you got here, I'm glad you are. I won’t sugarcoat it - Therapy is hard. And as a counselling client myself, I know what it’s like to sit in that chair. I know the vulnerability and risk involved in what counselling asks of us. So I won’t push you into anything you don’t want to do. I will meet you where you’re at and facilitate movement towards goals that are meaningful for you.

I think everyone should have a therapist. I realize how self-serving that sounds, but if we see a medical doctor on a regular basis (yes, you should do that too!) for our physical health, why wouldn’t we have someone in our pocket for mental health as well? If there is a stigma around mental health, there is stigma of having a therapist as well. I regularly meet with people that have never accessed a mental health professional and after one session you can see the anxiety leave them as I help take away those social pressures and instead focus on you, that’s what I want, to be team YOU!

I am constantly amazed at the resilience we all show, as we navigate our lives amidst the challenges that invariably arise! Sometimes the demands on us outweigh the resources we have available in that moment. It takes a courageous person to recognize the need for, and to request and accept, support. I am honoured every time clients invite me to join them along their journeys toward improved insight, skill, interaction, and overall living.

My purpose is to help those with trauma find peace. Trauma has many faces. From haunting memories, and dreams to feeling anxious, angry, and depressed. Ties with friends and family can also be hurt. As much as trauma is painful, it is treatable. Over my 22 years of work, I have become an expert at building coping skills and helping others heal. I have had the honour to work with Canadian military veterans, RCMP, Calgary police, Paramedics and other professionals. I am also experienced working with persons who have been abused by their family and loved ones, motor vehicle accidents and other serious traumas.

You're overwhelmed and second-guessing everything. Often you feel like a failure and an imposter and wonder how you got here. Some days you’re the man you want to be, and others, you’re barely holding it all together. There are days when you feel lost, hopeless, and lacking direction. Stress, anxiety, fear, anger, and even depression are negatively impacting your relationships, your work, and your sense of confidence. You want so much more from your life but are not sure how to get there.
