Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Calgary, AB

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.

Our lived experiences as humans can vary greatly, but the 'human condition' is something we all share. Common themes exist between all of us… albeit race, gender, socioeconomic status, etc. Themes such as loneliness, fear, joy, and most evidently (i.e. research reinforced) our innate need for "connection"…true connection to ourselves and to the ones we love most dearly. My goal is to provide individuals (i.e. pre-adolescents, adolescents, adults) and/or families alike the chance to feel unconditionally supported as they seek the aid they require for psychological well-being…to walk beside you on your therapeutic journey.

Do you feel overwhelmed by your thoughts and feelings? Are you stuck repeating old relationship patterns and feeling frustrated with your attempts to break these cycles? Does your inner voice drown you in self-criticism, and despite trying positive thinking you don't believe it deep down? You are not alone in these feelings and you can discover new ways to connect with yourself and others, heal your deepest wounds, and finally feel confident to manage your overwhelming mental chatter and emotional reactions. It is possible to achieve the inner peace you seek.

Critical relationships from the past and present shape our thoughts about (a) ourselves, (b) others and (c) our expectations for relationships. Thoughts and expectations shaped by our experience, in turn, shape our perceptions and influence the choices we make and the things we do--often in limiting and self-defeating ways. When our need for safe, meaningful and satisfying connection is complicated by difficulty of some sort, we frequently develop troubling symptoms.
