Therapists in Calgary, AB

I am a mental health therapist & Registered Social Worker with the Alberta College of Social Workers. I have a Master’s of Social Work degree from the University of Calgary. I work with adults and children with a therapy focus on attachment, trauma, parenting support, anxiety and depression.

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.

People seek out therapeutic support for a lot of different reasons, and over the past 15 years I’ve worked in a lot of different areas including addiction and mental health, illness adjustment, life transitions, and family systems under stress. More recently, I’ve developed practice interests in supporting recovery from relational trauma, including the fallout from unmet childhood needs, antagonistic relationships, narcissistic abuse, toxic workplaces, bullying, betrayal, etc.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS * “ I can’t seem to shut my brain off”, “Why do I feel so anxious all the time?”, “ I actually don’t feel anything, I’m numb”. If any of these statements resonate with you and you want to explore them further I might be of help! I am a people person that truly believes in the power of human connection and therefore place a great importance on the right fit between a therapist and a client. My work is very much based on a collaborative approach because “You” know “You” the best. It’s important to me that you will feel comfortable and safe to explore and address any issues you are struggling with.

She has a bachelor’s degree in history, an MBA, a master’s degree in counselling psychology, and presently completing a doctorate degree in developmental psychology with a specialization in Child and Adolescents development. She is passionate about making sure that everyone have access to the necessary information and resources they need to look after their mental health. She is of the opinion that people are facing mental health issues, but that due to many factors, this topic is not being openly discussed.

Birth can be beautiful and scary. And when a birth doesn't go as planned, it can affect us in ways that we never expected. Right now, you may be staring at your newborn feeling overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, sadness, or fear. Or maybe you’re reeling from a miscarriage, stillbirth, or TFMR, and you need someone to help carry your pain without dismissal or judgment. Or you've gotten through that first year and are dreading the end of your leave and don't know how you're going to get through the transition to work and daycare. If this is you, I can help!

I offer counselling for individuals (adults, adolescents and children), couples, and families, addressing anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, depression, anger/aggression, and other emotional/behavioural issues. It is my belief that effective counselling incorporates working with the whole human being - including the mind and the manifestation of emotional experiences in the body. My approach integrates mindfulness and cognitive interventions with somatic body and movement work.

I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing). I am a Certified EMDR Therapist & EMDR Consultant (EMDRIA approved).

EMDR gives people relief from symptoms that they can't get from talk therapies.

My practices evolved over time but always followed through the line of trauma. I work with kids as young as four up until whatever age they want to continue therapy. I am fortunate enough to have a very formative experience in EMDR, IFS, IFIO, and Clinical Hypnosis to address the needs of my clients. As a psychologist, I believe that to have good mental health, the individual must be treated as the whole person. So, I integrate the mind and body into my practice to help my clients to overcome depression, anxiety, grief, stress, mood disorders, and PTSD. I also proudly offer NeurOptimal Neurofeedback for brain training.
