Life Coaching Therapists in Calgary, AB

I work with adult clients to improve the connection between physical and emotional health. Are you struggling with stress, health issues, or pain? Or perhaps the demands of juggling work, family, and everything else life has to offer is impacting your health and well-being? My goal is to help you gain awareness into the relationship between stress and health, and the tools to improve your quality of life.

“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"

I strive to meet my clients where they are at, and to help them achieve the changes they seek. I believe that under the right circumstances, clients have the capacity to look inward, to free themselves from feeling stuck in the past, and to find new ways to move forward. This often requires hard work, but growth and change are possible when clients are given a safe space to explore unhelpful patterns of thinking and learn to think and behave in healthier ways. By clarifying their personal meaning, clients can be empowered to choose new directions in life.

Maybe you feel lost. Or need help finding your path. Or just need someone to talk to. People come to me from all different phases of their lives. Wherever you place yourself is the perfect place to begin.

Hello, and welcome! There are times in life when we feel overwhelmed, stuck, lost, confused with little to no sense of direction. To experience joy, connection and that feeling of being content, it is necessary to process whatever is going on and explore those parts of us that feel stuck. Whatever change you are needing and wanting to make, it can all be facilitated in a warm, safe and comfortable environment. I am committed to the journey of your wellbeing as I am to my own and together, we can explore and process whatever emotions, thoughts or/and behaviours that might be getting in the way of your optimal wellbeing.

Welcome! Right about now, things don't feel right. You strive to do your best, but lately, you've been feeling stuck. No one would know it b/c you present really well - but privately, you're hurting on the inside. The truth is things don't feel right in one or more areas of your life. You're tired of dealing with self-doubt & negative thoughts, feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or burnt out, and not being confident & happy like you want. You might even be tired of carrying around that internal pain you've been trying to keep tucked deep inside. Secretly, you wonder if you can feel better & get through the stuff that's holding you back.

The cornerstone of counselling success is a strong therapeutic relationship. This starts by creating a welcoming, collaborative, and safe space where you can be yourself. I work with adults experiencing a variety of concerns. Whether your concerns feel big or small, I help by working to access your inherent strengths. Throughout your counselling journey, I aim to empower you to make self-discoveries, gain new skills & insights, and face your obstacles with the goal to lessen distress and live a more meaningful life.

Please note, as of September 15, 2023 I have moved to Suite 502, 933 17th Ave. S.W., Calgary AB T2T 5R6. Relationships have different seasons and cycles. Challenges can arise however when great sex (or any intimacy at all) is a distant memory, communication becomes stuck, and a feeling of closeness is longed for again. These are all signs that a different approach is needed to end the frustration and created a renewed aliveness. The desire for intimacy, to feel connected, and to matter are key aspects of who we are as human beings.

If you are searching for meaning, purpose, and healing in your life, you don't have to journey alone. My approach is emotionally-focused & client-centered; I utilize mindfulness and body-integrated modalities to help you connect with your innate resources and inner knowing. Whether you are experiencing depression or anxiety, compulsive behaviours, a loud inner critic, feelings of overwhelm, or painful patterns in relationships, I will hold a light in the dark and see you through to the other side.

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.

As we move through our human lives, each of us will at times feel our mental and emotional health is compromised, catalyzed perhaps by seismic life events, emerging anxiety, a looming depression, or a stirring from our own depths. When compromised in this way, we may naturally fight hard to maintain the business as usual of our lives. However, sometimes things fall apart anyways and other times, a deeper part of us just doesn't want to hold it all together, but we don't know what else to do - or how to do it. This can be disorienting, depressing, anxiety-provoking, and lonely. We are in unfamiliar territory without a map or compass.

I assist clients who have faced different challenges, specializing in addictions, single parenting, domestic violence, grief, and loss. My therapeutic method is centered around the client, focused on goals, and geared towards solutions. Providing a supportive environment, I empower clients to take charge of their journey towards achieving their objectives. Services are available in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. Virtual services offered only at this time.

Grief is a natural and unique experience. Hello! I am a holistic grief specialist. I am not your typical talk counsellor. I help adult Albertan’s connect to their mind, body, spirit and life again after a death, loss or life change. Grief is unique in how each person experiences it. Grief can be chaotic, overwhelming, isolating and sometimes leaving you feeling you have no control of your mind, body and life. Having both personal and professional experience with death, loss and unpredictable changes, allows me to be thoughtful about the importance of creating a safe space to share your raw emotions, thoughts and story of loss.

It's time to connect. I have saved you a seat. We are hardwired for connection. Being alone through life's journey is not the foundation of who we are. The early years of my work with individuals began in the Early years of a child's life. Realizing that children cannot change the reality of their lives, I embarked on a journey supporting families, caregivers, and individuals seeking to find their way as they grow in the knowledge of who they are and the great potential that lies before them.
