Relationship Issues Therapists in Calgary, AB

Are you and your partner easily triggered by each other, creating consistent conflict? Or have you stopped expressing what you feel and think, resulting in loneliness and disconnection? Have either of you communicated that you’re unhappy? Imagine if you could learn how to identify and work on your contribution in a relationship, share thoughts and feelings productively with another person, and listen non-defensively and with curiosity. It’s exciting when people take a risk to engage with others in a different way and feel good about the action they took.

Welcome! Having been one of the first in Calgary to be certified in sex addiction therapy, the bulk of my practice consists of individuals and couples in various stages of sex and other addiction recovery. Do you need help in the struggle to remain sober? Would you benefit from guidance in the formulation and maintenance of an effective recovery plan? Do you need a compassionate listener as you make sense of the trauma of discovery? My goal is to promote awareness of your emotional life; to help you establish and negotiate appropriate boundaries; and to enhance trust in all your relationships.

Life changes, illness, or relational problems can impact one's quality of life. Although time can sometimes help, meaningful resolution of problems and personal growth takes place within the context of a supportive relationship. Quality of life and contentment increase as the ability to process issues develops. I help my clients resolve emotional difficulties related to life circumstances and struggles with family, friends or co-workers. Building on current areas of strength we work together to rebuild your sense of inner calmness and clarity. And, when necessary, we tackle new areas of competence together.

I recognize that everyone's path and journey is multi layered and multi-dimensional, based on one's ethnicity, culture, religion, gender, sexual orientation, generation, etc. and what exists at that point of intersection is unique. I would love to join you on your own unique journey and help you gain insight on what brings you here. I enjoy working with individuals including young adults and seniors, couples, families – nuclear, joint and extended families. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, stress, grief and loss, self-esteem, racial and sexual minorities and immigrant populations.

I believe we’re all doing our best to make it work in a world that teaches isolation and self-reliance when we are wired for safe connection and secure dependence. You may be stuck feeling lonely, isolated, and empty, or maybe you’ve suffered through a difficult relationship, an impossible loss, or in securing a sense of belonging in the world. Through somatically-rooted psychodynamic counselling, we’ll focus on integrating the competing parts of you that fuel your tensions. Using parts-work, metaphor, and somatic practice, we’ll get curious about the patterns you’ve developed to survive.

I believe that you should walk away from counselling feeling empowered; with a sense of agency to make choices that improve your quality of life within the social contexts and systems you operate in. My role is to provide a nonjudgmental, warm, and accepting environment while accompanying you in discovering the resources you hold within you to move past the difficulties you’re facing.

You are the expert on your life and know yourself better than anyone else. This makes you the best judge of what is right or wrong, or good or bad, for you. My role is to help reach a point where you no longer need my assistance and to address the problems that brought you to therapy. I'm not here to judge your actions but to assist in creating clarity or a change in perspective.

At Wholeness Psychology Centre, we work with a variety of concerns, including trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, identity crisis, and relationship conflict. We recognize that short-term, solution-focused modalities are appropriate for some presenting concerns. For others, a more heart-centred, holistic, depth-oriented approach to therapy is necessary. Our team has the skills and training in both areas to best meet your therapeutic needs and goals. Our approach is multifaceted and involves working with several layers simultaneously and getting to the core of your experience and needs in assessments and counselling.

I am naturally drawn to a Solution Focused approach; however, I utilize interventions from several different modalities and maintain an overall humanistic approach to working with clients. I work with clients being challenged by anxiety, depression, and relationship issues in their daily lives. I believe that our personal experiences impact the way we view the world, and our emotions play a key role in our behaviour and choices.

Sometimes the challenges we face in our daily lives become too difficult to manage alone. We may need someone to talk to who can help us find solutions. Whether you are struggling with depression, stress management, are having difficulty in your current relationship, have issues from your past which are having a negative impact on your current functioning, or whether you are looking for someone to help support you in making positive changes in your life, I can help.

Occasionally life presents individuals with diverse challenges which can result in adverse effects to one's overall well-being.
