Couples Counselling Therapists in Southwest Calgary, Calgary, AB
At Core Psychology, we walk alongside individuals, couples, and families through challenges.
Are you craving a life you don't need a vacation from? We don't exist in isolation. Daily, we navigate relationships, careers, finances, parenting an anxious child or a struggling teen, aging, significant life transitions, celebrations, successes, and sometimes huge losses. You may have lost a job, partner, loved one, or the ability to function in ways you used to function so easily. You are used to recovering quickly or knowing how to best provide support, and yet find yourself at a loss, anxious, overwhelmed or discouraged. It's all part of being human. Though sometimes it feels like more than we can take.

I am accepting clients 13+ (individuals and couples across Canada).
Seeking therapy takes courage, and I understand that it (and life) can feel overwhelming. My approach focuses on creating a non-judgmental and safe space for you to explore your story and life experiences with curiosity and compassion. My goal is to help you trust and connect with Self, align with the values that guide your choices, take on new challenges, and become self-led in your interactions with the world. We will learn effective coping skills, identify patterns, systems think, and build on your strengths. Change IS hard, AND (I believe) you have the power and innate wisdom to grow, change, and create the life you long for.

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or have been through a traumatic event(s), you might be feeling hopeless, low, unmotivated or overwhelmed. In our work, I can support you in these areas of difficulty, and in figuring out patterns or behaviours that may be keeping you stuck, and help you learn tools and strategies to work towards improving your mental health and well-being. I also support couples who are experiencing difficulties communicating, connecting or resolving conflict. If you find yourself stuck in the same cycle, I can support you in finding ways to get unstuck and to feel more connected to one another.

I am a Registered Psychologist, and I work with adults and youth interested in individual, couples and family therapy by helping them clarify their challenges and set achievable goals.
People are wonderfully complex beings. It is rare that our suffering and/or distress comes from only one funnel or area of life (although that sometimes is the case!). This is why I believe in taking a holistic approach to therapy. The consideration of nutrition, personal purpose and beliefs, sleep, physical exercise, and social connections can make a huge difference when designing a treatment plan. You are the expert of your own life. My job is to ask meaningful questions, to collect and synthesize information, and work closely with you to design your treatment journey. Let's get started!

I focus on really getting to know you as an individual and your experience in relationship to others, self and the environment.
I offer counselling for individuals (adults, adolescents and children), couples, and families, addressing anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, depression, anger/aggression, and other emotional/behavioural issues. It is my belief that effective counselling incorporates working with the whole human being - including the mind and the manifestation of emotional experiences in the body. My approach integrates mindfulness and cognitive interventions with somatic body and movement work.

Whether it be working with individuals, couples, or families, I bring a deep passion and curiosity regarding the innate strengths, knowledge, and wisdom that exist within all individuals and related systems that support new ways of seeing and experiencing the world.
Relationships in our lives present us with an infinite number of experiences that bring successes, challenges and everything in between. The stories that we live everyday contain relationships that form the foundation of our mental and physical well-being. There are times when we want the current stories in our life to continue and at other times we hope and need for something to change so that we can live the life we desire as an individual and in relation to others. Regardless of the challenges you are experiencing there is a way to find a path forward towards a desired story that will bring fulfillment and joy in your life.

Relationships are key to our well-being and the therapeutic relationship is no different.
Are you a person who is focused on getting the most out of life? Are you trying to create a rich and fulfilling life (e.g., meaningful career, quality family time, close and intimate relationships, active self-care and health) but finding it impossible to juggle it all and strike a sustainable balance? Do you feel pulled in so many directions that you are failing to show up wholeheartedly in any one area of your life and feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or uninspired as a result? Is there a part of you that knows you're capable of showing up more authentically and enthusiastically in your life?

I am committed to working with you to cultivate a more fulfilling life through the development of skills which build resilience, enhance relationships, including the relationship you have with yourself.
The human experience is both wearisome and wondrous. My role is to provide compassion, therapeutic knowledge, keenly observe strengths, and barriers to help you navigate the wearisome so that you can fully enjoy the wondrous. Working with clients, helping them to develop self-compassion, acquire flexibility in their approach to life, and learn robust coping skills is a deeply satisfying part of my work. I’ve observed that couples are wanting more from their relationships, yet we aren’t taught skills which allow us to relate well. I guide couples as they acquire tools which foster better communication and relationship skills.
