Family Systems Therapists in Calgary, AB

I am passionate about helping others increase their overall sense of well-being through a trusting, collaborative, relationship-based approach. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing a range of interpersonal, adaptive, developmental, behavioural, and/or social-emotional challenges and disorders. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to best meet the client's needs, and seek to help create meaningful change and increase a sense of peace and wellness.

I work using a strength based, trauma informed and attachment focused approach.

As a social worker of 32 years, I have spent my career supporting individuals, couples and families navigate through many life experiences from a holistic and strengths-based perspective. I believe that we all have the ability and capacity to face many of the challenges and hardships that arise in life but there are also times when we all need that extra support from a professional – someone to provide a different perspective, new insights, and helpful practical strategies to address and alleviate the distress being experienced and answers to questions that these times can illuminate.

Are you grieving? Are you feeling overwhelmed? When we have lost someone or something in our lives, being overwhelmed is normal. We often need to tell our story again and again, in order to process and heal through our losses. Sometimes we need additional support to do this very task in grief, to feel the rollercoaster of emotions with loss but also actively mourn our losses and be able to learn how to hold our stories differently. After 17 years, as a Grief Counsellor at The Grief Support Program, I have moved into private practice to continue this sacred work. I would be honored to work with you in your healing journey.

Children experience the world differently. Adults can talk; children prefer to play. Play therapy allows freedom and growth. The play experience takes children's focus off negative self-talk and promotes positive self-awareness. Play therapy helps to explore emotions, work through challenges, and nurtures mastery and resilience. As a Registered Play Therapist with advanced training in play therapy, I can help you find a way to connect with your child. A fully equipped playroom with special toys allows children to fully express their feelings, and supports their growth and changes.

Problems can be pretty tricky, they can stump us, limit possibilities and lead us to reconsider the very things that are important in life. I am interested in creating a conversations that welcome both the difficult experience you are up against, like an anxiety or depression or tricky relationship, alongside a commitment to uncovering the responses you have used to get by, and in some cases survive, despite difficult problems. We all have the right to our own experiences and to feel legitimate no matter how big or small, permanent or temporary a problem may be. I take a narrative approach to therapeutic conversation.

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.

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.

Sometimes we find ourselves cycling around the same life problems and we know it is time to change how we are stepping into those relationships either with ourselves or others.

I'm an experienced parent coach and couple therapist. I love to help parents understand their children's behaviours from the inside out and get them back in the driver's seat! To accomplish this, I have found Dr. Gordon Neufeld's attachment and developmental approach to be most effective. With my couples, I use a research backed model called EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). EFT pays particular attention to those interactions where couples get stuck, those moments where the signals get scrambled. It provides a road map to identify the negative pattern, de-escalate emotional reactivity and re-establish the connection.

I believe that safe, secure, and loving relationships are foundational to a general sense of well-being. My training in emotion-focused, attachment-based approaches allows for a deep exploration of relationship patterns. I maintain a particular interest in supporting LGBTQ2S+ clients and use an affirming, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed framework in sessions.
