Therapists in Calgary, AB

Are you on the hunt for a safe space to work through some difficult life circumstances? You have come to the right place. With over 20 years experience in the field of mental health, I am here to help you. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, families and groups with common concerns such as coping with stress, dealing with depression and anxiety, managing grief and improving overall health. Please reach out today so we can connect and get to know one another.

My background is in systems theory; the idea that everyone is connected to those around them, with influence between all those people, organizations, and cultures. My approach to therapy is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but I also see a need for insight into the meaning that we make/have made of things and how that impacts our present. Therapy then, involves opening space for a person to increase awareness of their own process and to see alternative perspectives, thereby empowered to make different life decisions. It is so exciting to see someone realize that they have the power to change their perspective and their life!

I understand that at times life can be overwhelming and even the simple things can feel impossible. In these times I believe it is essential to reach out for support to remind ourselves that even the most difficult emotions and situations do not last forever. I am a person-centered therapist who believes in a collaborative practice to support you through whatever life throws your way. We have all experienced the discomforts that come with being human, we do not need to navigate these alone.

I am a Registered Psychologist who has experience in both inpatient, and outpatient community settings providing individual, couples, family and group services to diverse populations and age ranges. I have extensive training in a number of therapy modalities however, I use an integrative structured approach to counselling mainly incorporating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and EMDR. I am also able to complete psycho-educational assessment, social-emotional diagnostic assessments, as well as cognitive and memory assessments.

When it comes to living, life can be full of stressors, disappointments, changes, challenges and losses that can cause a range of emotional, mental and physical responses. In therapy, I take the approach that all experiences, both internal and external, can create opportunity for growth, fulfillment and greater meaning. Counselling services can range from short-term solution focus treatment to longer-term therapy/analysis. The treatment plan will depend on your individual needs, the preferred outcome, your ability/willingness to access services and ultimately, the best course of treatment for your unique situation.

My areas of clinical expertise include anxiety, trauma and C-PTSD, dissociation, panic attacks, obsessive- compulsive disorder, parenting, relationship difficulties, couple and family issues, anger management, disordered eating, postpartum depression, managing emotions, addictions, sleeping issues, self-esteem, body image, nightmares, and others. I work with youth, adults, couples and families. I provide services in English and Arabic languages.

I aim to meet my clients apart from the pretension and stigmas of the psychology world, as well as the norms of culture/society in general. Creating a space apart from all the things we think we need to be and should be allows for an authenticity to engage the obstacles in life in a new way. Therapy should not be “one size fits all” and so with the expertise that you have of your life, combined with my skills and training, we can work together to get past both the internal and external things keeping you from being more of the human you were meant to be; creating a new mental space where you can continue to grow and thrive.

In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, ADHD, OCD, burnout, and trauma. I also offer assessment and diagnostic services.

Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers, caregivers, and empaths and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you're tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or simply want to feel better emotionally, you've come to the right place.

Would you like to change your life? Are you unsure what that means, or afraid of what it entails? Change can be scary, but you don’t have to do it alone.

In working with me, you may find relief, experience peace, begin to hope again, and start to enjoy life in a way you didn’t think was possible.

You feel life is hard and you are a bit stuck. You feel overwhelmed by current challenges, perhaps exhausted from past trauma, and being anxious about the future.

My goal is to work alongside you to create a space for you to engage in self-discovery, process life events, unlearn unhelpful beliefs and behaviours, build coping skills, and work towards inner peace that often feels eluding.

Does your anxiery, depression, weight concern, or emotions paralyze you? Much of the current research, including my own, shows that it's often in the on-going attempts to rid ourselves of "symptoms" that actually intensifies the problem. Often times it is these "avoidance" strategies that are largely responsible for keeping us trapped in an ongoing cycle of increased psychological suffering. Our anxiety, worry, unease and fears result in our living too much in the past or future. Through mindfulness and values-based living, we can work together to help you live a more authentic and present life.
