Child Therapists in Calgary, AB
I have worked for several years in educational settings and in private practice with children, teens and adults.
I enjoy working with children, teens and adults. I have experience working with relational issues, parenting, stress, school problems, workplace stress, self-esteem, separation and divorce, grief, life transitions, ADHD, anxiety and depression. My clients and I work together to find creative and practical ideas to help them to reach their therapeutic and personal goals. I typically write down ideas and suggestions that relate to a session, and send them home with each client so that they can continue to focus on their goals and practice concrete strategies.

We serve children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, in-person and online, across Alberta and Nunavut.
If you're struggling with mental health, relationship, or addiction challenges, it can feel like your life is out of control and falling apart. It's not uncommon to feel overwhelmed, scared, hopeless, helpless and alone. Or to feel numb. We all experience occasional difficulties in response to life’s challenges, but there are times when we feel particularly stuck or discouraged and we need some extra support. It can be difficult to share your most private experiences with someone new, especially if those experiences have caused you shame, and we have a deep respect for those who are willing to pursue counselling.

I registered as a Psychologist in Alberta in 2006 and have been in practice in the public school system since 2005. Working within the school environment has allowed me a broad range of experience in conducting Psychoeducational Assessments; I have developed expertise in the areas of Learning Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities, giftedness, anxiety, and ADHD over the course of many years in the public sector.

I have had a great deal of success working with children and their parents for many childhood issues such as behavior problems, ADHD, anxiety and so on.
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!
