Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Calgary, AB
I also incorporate Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and Dialectical and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approaches.
Hello & welcome to our little corner of the internet. It takes courage to reach out for help. Whether you are doing so for the first time or are returning, I commend you for taking this step. Trauma (single-episode; complex; perinatal; developmental), and anxiety & depression can significantly affect our mental, physical and emotional health, relationships and daily life. Hurts from long ago can continue to affect us in profound and sneaky ways, even if we thought we had dealt with them. You do not need to hurt forever. In therapy, we will work together to understand the problem, heal the hurts and get you living your best life.

Treatment may utilize strategies from CBT, DBT, ART, Solution-focused therapy, art therapy and other approaches.
"Change is our only constant." I often find myself saying this to my clients as well as myself when undergoing a sudden change, challenged through a difficult event, or simply trying to navigate the stressors of everyday life. Sometimes it is difficult to manage or adjust to changes on our own and we need additional support. I hope that with my expertise I can walk alongside you to provide support when it is most needed and to help you navigate the emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and stressors that are getting in the way of your wellness.

Through CBT, DBT, EMDR, or other special modalities, therapy helps adults, couples, kids, teens & families to gain new insight into your challenges, gently heal even the deepest wounds, soothe intense emotions, calm critical thoughts & meaningfully transform patterns that no longer serve you, into ones that do.
It's easy to get stuck in patterns that sabotage the life you want to live: overly busy thoughts, intense emotions, or automatic reactions. Often traumatic or painful past experiences can leave lingering impacts on your day-to-day functioning, leaving you feeling disconnected, out of control, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles or patterns that never seem to let up. Therapy is your space to learn how to effectively get un-stuck, heal from past wounds, transform unhelpful patterns, and grow. Therapy facilitates supported conscious engagement with your inner world, helping you to deepen your awareness and make truly meaningful changes.

I work from a foundation of mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy).
My focus is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel you can be open about what you're experiencing and work through any challenges you have been enduring. You may feel uncertain about how to move forward or as though you are lacking the tools or insight you need to navigate your current situation. In our time together, it is essential that you feel not only heard and understood, but that you have gained the insight and tools necessary to uncover helpful solutions. Through this process, you will feel more confident in yourself and your capacity to manage whatever stressors come your way.

I have over 16 years of clinical experience blending Western and Eastern philosophies, EMDR, DBT, Attachment theory and CBT interventions.
Most of how we feel, respond and think is based on unconscious patterning beliefs. I am committed to providing a safe and compassionate space for you to feel welcomed where ever you are at. By shedding light on what is unconscious through the pathway of increased awareness major transformation, healing and new neural connections can occur. The secret to feeling more ease lies in examining the core issues that are causing the distress and look directly into those places that we are avoiding. This approach arises from my experience that lasting change occurs when metal, physical, emotional and spiritual systems are all involved.

I draw from various modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and I incorporate mindfulness.
I do not have an "ideal" client. I believe in the importance of showing up as you are and I will do my best to walk alongside you. I specialize in areas of anxiety, depression, ADHD, perfectionism, boundaries, burnout, and relational issues. I am part of Kindred Roots Therapy which is a private therapy collective that is focused on redefining the "traditional" therapy experience. We aim to normalize conversations about mental health, and apply a strengths-based and laid-back approach to therapy. I have worked in not-for-profits, and inpatient and community healthcare settings for roughly 10 years.

Evening and weekend availability - We can all feel lost and overwhelmed by our emotions or get stuck in patterns of unhelpful thoughts and behaviours - when all we really crave is connection, support, and tools to help us show up more peacefully for ourselves and others.

Together, we can explore how to help you gain better insight and overcome the barriers that are preventing you from accessing your authentic self.

I use a variety of modalities backed by research such as ACT, attachment and trauma-informed work, CBT, DBT, EFT, Narrative, and somatic (body-based) interventions.
Many folks come to me feeling overwhelmed, confused, or disconnected from their emotions or behaviours. They find themselves feeling triggered in relationships, or shy away from sharing their authentic selves with others. Some have significant struggles with their focus and can't consistently complete tasks they know are well within their abilities. When we don't know how or why this happens, a sense of powerlessness and shame creeps into our lives. Trust me, I understand confronting these issues is challenging and vulnerable. Changing these patterns is very possible and may be some of the most important work you do in your life.
