Welcome! I am glad your here. My name is Alyssa, and I'm a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists, who adopts a holistic mind-body approach to counselling therapy.

Welcome! Right about now, things don't feel right. You strive to do your best, but lately, you've been feeling stuck. No one would know it b/c you present really well - but privately, you're hurting on the inside. The truth is things don't feel right in one or more areas of your life. You're tired of dealing with self-doubt & negative thoughts, feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or burnt out, and not being confident & happy like you want. You might even be tired of carrying around that internal pain you've been trying to keep tucked deep inside. Secretly, you wonder if you can feel better & get through the stuff that's holding you back.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious or depressed? Are you feeling disconnected, unheard and alone in your relationship? I help people to feel calm, centered, and empowered and help couples to feel connected, communicate and learn to have fun again. I believe in using practical and personalized strategies that are right for you.

Life can be challenging, and we all need support sometimes. I know how overwhelming it can feel to ask for help, but I would be honoured to hear your story.

My role is to walk alongside you as you embark on your healing journey. You are the expert of your own life story, and I love working collaboratively with my clients toward their goals.

It can feel incredibly challenging trying to choose the right psychologist. The emotions or stress you may be experiencing can feel overwhelming. You may be thinking you cannot possibility go on feeling and managing this way and need someone who will listen, understand and offer some effective solutions. I strive to be a therapist that creates this type of comforting environment to help facilitate the changes you are seeking. Please review my practice information and feel free to contact me to ensure I am that right therapist for you.

I use a client-centered, integrative, and trauma-informed approach in my practice. I believe in a wholistic healing process that embraces understanding and attending to the stories that our cognitions, emotions, and bodies are telling us in the context of our day to day lives. Overwhelming, difficult, or traumatic experiences can keep us suffering with symptoms and patterns of living that no longer serve us. Through gently paced mind and body interventions, we can begin to discover new pathways for lasting change by developing more internal and external experiences of safety, presence, wisdom, and strength.

As a registered Psychologist with over a decade of experience, I offer a safe, confidential and accepting therapeutic connection to facilitate my clients with their therapy goals. I work with both individuals and couples that maybe be struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, work/life balance, relationship insecurity or grief/trauma. I come to each counselling session with a passion for my work and it is an honor to collaborate with each and every one of my clients on their counselling journey.

My counselling practice is grounded in the understanding that all human beings are naturally inclined toward growth and healing. Each of us has a unique potential that we bring into the world, as well as unique challenges that we face. My role as a therapist is to work collaboratively with you to customize a plan that will help you understand and move beyond the obstacles that get in the way of living the life you want. It's never too late to create lasting change!
