In Person Therapists in Lower Mount Royal, Calgary, AB

Hello there! I am currently accepting new clients. I offer individual counselling and sports/ performance counselling to youth and adults. I'm passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate challenges, move through transitions, and pursue their values, in sport, work, relationship, creative, or personal pursuits. My primary goal as a therapist is to create a warm, caring, and non-judgmental environment, allowing clients to express themselves fully. My approach is humanistic, holistic, growth-oriented, and collaborative. Approaches I draw from include: humanistic/ narrative, CBT, DBT, ACT, sports/performance literature.

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.

Are you feeling stuck? As a Registered Counsellor and Certified Functional Nutrition Coach (CFNC), I specialize in helping individuals achieve personal wellness goals and adapt to healthier lifestyle living. I am dedicated to helping you establish a balanced lifestyle that includes purpose-driven living, self-care practices, and building meaningful relationships. Let's do this! Give me a call

So many of us can relate to the experience of feeling stuck. Maybe we've been hurt by loved ones and struggle to feel a sense of trust and connectedness. Some of us feel caught in patterns that aren't serving us, such as anger, racing thoughts, perfectionism, or self-criticism. Intense emotions may overwhelm and confuse us, causing us to spiral or lash out at others. Despite our best efforts and intentions, we may find ourselves unable to change these destructive patterns. We want to stop feeling overwhelmed and out of control. We want to feel understood, accepted, more balanced emotionally and secure with others.

Have you or your child been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stressed, depressed or just generally lost or stuck? I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment to explore whatever issues have brought you to seek support. I specialize in clinical psychology and provide individual therapy to children, adolescents, and young adults. I work primarily from a cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) perspective while integrating a variety of empirically supported treatments (DBT, ACT) into my practice to best meet each client’s individual needs. I work at Innova Psychology in Hillhurst and I am currently accepting new clients!

Ever felt swamped by anxiety, depression, or relationship troubles? Or overwhelmed by life's daily struggles? If you're nodding yes, know this - you're not alone. Our paths may differ, but the destination is the same - understanding, healthy coping, and a better life quality. You deserve to be heard, validated, and empowered for positive life changes. And that's precisely what I offer.

Do you ever feel like you just need somebody to listen? Esther Perel says that one of the most powerful ways for people not to feel deeply alone is for them to feel listened to. It can be hard to talk to family and friends about what's happening for us, even though they may be well-intentioned. Trust me, I've been there too! Therapy is a useful place to explore and process challenging emotions, thoughts, memories and stories, where there is safety, confidentiality and no judgement. It’s important to me that, when you’re in the therapy room, you feel comfortable, safe and cozy, and importantly, fully seen and valued.

Sometimes life can seem just too overwhelming. Are you feeling lost, not sure what the right decision is, where to go next? Do you suspect that there might be an undercurrent of issues from your formative years that you have never addressed or explored? Do you feel that they could be influencing your life today? In a non-judgmental, person-centered, warm and safe environment, let’s explore where you came from and where you want to be going. Sometimes you just need to talk things out with an objective professional. Sometimes you need some guidance and suggestions.
