Therapists for Teens in Calgary, AB

These are unprecedented times, rife with unprecedented challenges. The uncertainty of the situation, the lack of a map for understanding the present and envisioning the future, is a source of chronic stress for almost everyone one, and takes a particularly heavy toll on some. Its impacts are being felt at every level, experienced in ways that continue to evolve and that may be overwhelming. We are all new to this situation, but we are not new to grappling with unforeseen problems or having to pick our way though the unknown. Helping people to do that, even in ordinary times, is what my work is all about.

In the flow of life it can be easy to lose track of who we are and the parts of ourselves that we value the most. Maybe you’ve never had a chance to grow into the person you’d like to be, or perhaps you’re held back by other factors such as life transitions, unhealthy relationships, toxic work environments, cultural expectations, illness/disease, or self-limiting beliefs. Let me help you navigate these challenges and create a life that reflects your values, true sense of self, and preferred ways of being.

I have 20 years of experience in the public system providing treatment for children and youth with addictions and/or mental health issues and family therapy.

Are you currently in a situation where you need to re-route some aspects of your life? Changing habits without a skilled, compassionate guide can be tough. Or maybe you have struggled with a mental health illness such as Trauma, Addiction, Anxiety, Depression, etc. until you feel as though the problem is part of you. You want to change but are unsure how. I seek to support you as you name the problem, identify and own your strengths, plan for and implement the changes you desire for yourself. I am guided by the belief that people can and do want to change and my role as your therapist is to be your guide on the path to a better you.

Maybe you feel lost. Or need help finding your path. Or just need someone to talk to. People come to me from all different phases of their lives. Wherever you place yourself is the perfect place to begin.

What are the unique challenges you face that keep you from living your most vibrant and authentic life? My goal is to help you illuminate these barriers and approach them with a refreshed perspective where you can face them authentically with courage and move through the fear that can get us all stuck at times. I climb mountains because demanding experiences test me, light me up, and ground me simultaneously and I bring this perspective to therapy. I want to help guide you into finding a deep sense of calm amidst your own challenges and make space where you can appreciate just how tenacious you can be and create lasting change.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a family-focused practice and over 15 years of specialized experience. Children, youth, families, and parents/caregivers often see me when there are concerns about behavior, family and peer relationships, adjustment (e.g., parental separation, medical diagnosis), disrupted attachment (e.g., foster care, adoption), sleep, anxiety, and emotion regulation. Adults seek my services when they have concerns and goals related to relationships, coping, and adjustment. I have worked in diverse settings including children’s hospitals, school districts, a not-for-profit organization, and my private practice.

My goal is to help you make meaningful changes in your life, so that you feel your life is full of purpose and growth. My approach is to blend acceptance and validation of your emotions with action-oriented strategies to help you begin feeling and living your life differently. Therapy sessions include a combination of having space to share your feelings while also being invited to try new skills and strategies within and between sessions. Anxiety, depression, feeling stuck in old patterns, managing grief and couples counselling are some of the primary concerns I excel in working with.

You’re feeling burnt out, on edge and depleted to the point where you don’t know how to stop feeling this way. You feel disconnected from the things that made you the best version of yourself. You may not be sure who that is anymore. You might find coping skills and strategies that used to be effective are no longer working. You are less able to juggle what you were once easily capable of and you feel frustrated. Cumulative stress can take a significant toll on even the strongest and most motivated individuals. When there are too many stressors over a period of time without sufficient relief, even small things feel overwhelming.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS * “ I can’t seem to shut my brain off”, “Why do I feel so anxious all the time?”, “ I actually don’t feel anything, I’m numb”. If any of these statements resonate with you and you want to explore them further I might be of help! I am a people person that truly believes in the power of human connection and therefore place a great importance on the right fit between a therapist and a client. My work is very much based on a collaborative approach because “You” know “You” the best. It’s important to me that you will feel comfortable and safe to explore and address any issues you are struggling with.

I aim to help clients process and deal with their experiences, heal, make appropriate and meaningful changes for their future, and become the best versions of themselves through therapy. I am focused on providing therapy through an anti-oppressive, intersectional, culturally sensitive, and informed lens to all persons inclusive of BIPOC, minority, and immigrant communities.

Thanks for taking the time to view my profile. Therapy is a collaborative process that uses curiosity, courage and compassion to start exploring and unpacking all of the parts of ourselves and our experiences so that we can become connected to our wholeness once again. There are times when we may feel haunted by our past experiences, are having difficulties coping with life transitions or stressors, or are feeling stuck. It is my belief that through gentle exploration we can start to find the inner resources needed to move through and grow from these difficult experiences.
