Life Coaching Therapists in Calgary, AB

Life can present us with unexpected challenges- family conflict, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, or haunting past experiences- that can leave us feeling trapped, depressed, anxious, and unhappy in all sorts of ways. While stress is a normal part of the human experience, we don't need to be ruled by it. My passion lies in helping individuals navigate through these difficult thoughts, painful self-defeating beliefs, and experiences. I aim to empower you to take action and reconnect with the things that hold true value in your life.

Are you feeling the effects of past or present trauma? Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, depression or relationship conflict? I can help. Do you need someone who is impartial and unbiased to talk to about issues and to help you reach your goals? Friends and family are great but they are not always the best people to talk to about certain things. Are you needing to feel heard and validated along with honest feedback? You can talk to me in a space that is safe and confidential. Our first session will end with you feeling better and more positive and hopeful. Please reach out via EMAIL as this is the best way to contact me.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Whether you're struggling with stress, anxiety, career changes and concerns in the AI era, loss, women's issues, mental health, relationships, life transitions, hoarding, special needs, I can help. Financial worries, family conflicts, and self-esteem struggles can be daunting, and cross-cultural issues or recovering from trauma can make life even more challenging. As a counsellor, I'll work with you to find clarity, build confidence, and create meaningful change. You don't have to face these challenges alone. Together, we'll navigate your path to a more peaceful and satisfying life.

In our life we sometimes experience unexpected, painful and challenging circumstances which can be difficult to navigate on your own. It can be helpful to explore your story with someone you trust and feel comfortable sharing your experiences and feelings with. In therapy I provide a safe, genuine, and compassionate environment to help you uncover and understand who you are and identify the changes you want to make in your life. I believe it's my role to be supportive and help you identify and work towards the future you desire and choose.

***EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS AVAILABLE *** I work with individuals who are struggling with a wide range of concerns. Many find it challenging to identify and regulate their emotions. They often act impulsively and struggle to maintain consistency in their day-to-day life. Many of the individuals I work with find interpersonal relationships challenging and may even vacillate between pushing people away and clinging to people. It is not uncommon for clients to currently be or to have previously engaged in self-harm and/or suicide ideation.

When one member of the family struggles, it affects everyone. Is your child or teenager dealing with anxiety, behavioral issues, school stress, or more complex situations like trauma, grief, or major life transitions such as divorce or separation? You want to support them through these challenges while fostering a harmonious home where everyone thrives. Your goal is to ensure your children feel understood and supported, and to improve the relationships within your family.

Welcome! I am so glad you landed here! My approach to therapy is collaborative and is inspired by the unique challenges, strengths and stories you bring into each session. I can support you with understanding and managing your emotions, taking a look at cycles of conflict you are going through, moving from self-criticism to self-compassion, exploring values and how to live by them, and processing difficult events. My areas of interest include self-esteem, stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, expatriation/repatriation, body image concerns, disordered eating, and cultural and spiritual exploration.

“Smooth seas don’t make good sailors”--It's a bitter truth-- No One escapes the challenges of Life. "What’s the purpose of therapy?” I believe we are all leaders of our own lives. Whether we choose to believe so or not, we are still leading our lives everyday with the choices and decisions we make. We can either decide to make unconscious decisions, or we can finally learn about ourselves, and take charge by making more conscious decisions that will improve the quality of our lives. Therapy is learning about and then empowering that silent leader within you. "Life is a dance between what we can control and realizing what we cannot"

Though sometimes it feels like more than we can take.

To me, therapy is about the person sitting across from me. Together, we can collaboratively explore and influence your past, present and hopes for the future. For everything, including your thoughts, behaviors and emotions. My goal is helping clients identify and work towards meaningful change. As human beings, we all possess an inherent yearning for connection, as we enter this world entirely reliant on others. Through helping clients achieve their goals, I strive to improve their connections and increase their resilience against the challenges of life.

I started my practice to create a space that is healing, safe, and accepting to help you become more resilient, empowered, and content. Life is often difficult, confusing, and disappointing, but you are much more than your bad days, bad months or bad years. I believe that healing comes from recognizing your true self, living authentically, and balancing acceptance and change. With consistency and commitment, it is possible to break out of patterns that no longer serve a purpose. I offer a judgment-free space where I aim to support you in living the life you want, with peace and conviction. Your goals for yourself are within reach.
