Some of the more common areas I work with include depression, anxiety, trauma, and pre/post partum. I do not need a diagnosis or referral to be seen, just a willingness to improve your mental health. I can work with all ages, from pre-teen to seniors. Each age brings its own unique challenges because life can be stressful.

Are you looking for a warm, compassionate, and playful psychologist to work with your child or yourself? I’m Miranda, a Registered Psychologist who specializes in assessment and counselling with children, teens, and families. I provide an integrative and holistic approach and am committed to offering clients an effective and meaningful therapeutic experience. I believe that all children and families have the desire and ability to move toward healthy functioning. Using evidence-based practice and a warm and supportive therapeutic relationship, I am honoured to guide this process for the families I see.

You don't feel like yourself. There’s a sadness that wasn’t there before. You feel worried, stressed, or overwhelmed. You struggle to fall or stay asleep, and you wake up exhausted, struggle to make it through the day. You're withdrawing from friends and family, turning down activities you used to enjoy. You just aren’t YOU anymore. But there is hope... As a counselling psychologist since 2007, I have successfully treated adults, children, and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harm and single-event or complex trauma, including adverse childhood experiences and motor-vehicle accidents.

I offer solution-focused therapy, bridging the gap between where clients are at and where they want to be. I focus on providing counselling for those experiencing depression, anxiety, and ADHD; prolonged exposure for those experiencing PTSD; and coping skills and strategies for those experiencing long-covid and post-concussion symptoms such as “brain fog”, limited energy, difficulty with problem solving, decision-making and memory. I’m also passionate about guiding individuals through life transitions such as moving out, starting school or a new job, and moving into retirement.

While people seek therapy for diverse reasons like anxiety, depression, trauma, self-regulation and relationship challenges, a common underlying motivation emerges: a desire for deeper self-understanding and improved relationships. I am dedicated to guiding you towards healing, personal growth, and enduring transformation through evidence-based therapy. I provide a supportive environment where you can explore new opportunities for change. Throughout our sessions, you can expect to be met with warmth and understanding, ensuring your journey towards healing is both nurturing and empowering.

From the outside, it looks like you have it together; on the inside you’re struggling and feeling like this is not the life you signed up for. You may be fed up with feeling weighed down by your past, feeling controlled by your emotions, or feeling like anxiety and depression are constant companions. You might not even remember a time when it didn’t feel this way. One thing is for sure, you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to wake up each morning feeling like you've got this. You’re ready to feel good about yourself. Most of all you’re ready to put the past behind you and start living life on your terms. I can help you.

I take a holistic approach to counselling and recognize the intersectional nature of people’s lives and identities. Outside of private practice, I worked in public health in an outpatient setting so I have helped support individuals of all ages, experiences, and mental health concerns. Specifically though, I love working with women, overwhelmed achievers (lawyers, educators, students, mothers, health professionals, artists, helpers, athletes, and so much more), in addition to folks who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, grief and loss, and managing emotions (such as with ADHD and BPD).

I am honoured that you have come across my profile and hope that as you start your journey, my words can offer comfort onto you. As a Black therapist, I pride myself in offering a therapy space that is warm, gentle yet directive to help you achieve your goals. I provide a safe container to hold space for your emotions and experiences. We all have unique needs and challenges. Whether it be a life transition or sudden or reoccurring trauma, or simply needing a listening ear, I hope to be the support you need as we build this therapy relationship so you may feel safe enough to express yourself as you heal and grow.

I have been practicing as a mental health therapist for five years and a psychologist for three years. I have a master’s degree in counselling psychology and a BSC in Psychology and Occupational therapy. I am certified by the Canadian Counselling and psychotherapy association as well as the College of Alberta Psychologist. I am able to do some direct billing to certain insurance companies.

The joys we experience in our day-to-day lives can be derailed when we become overwhelmed and confused by what we are feeling and what to do with those feelings. To experience peace, develop meaningful connections, and maintain a sense of contentment, it is necessary that we learn to identify what might be negatively impacting us and approach it with curiosity. The ideal future you envision for yourself is within reach when it is pursued in a safe and non-judgmental environment with a person you can trust. I take a holistic approach that views all symptoms, physical and emotional, as our body and mind’s way of communicating with us.

I enjoy working with clients who struggle in relationships, marital, family, professional or familial. Having a background in attachment theory I work well with individuals/couples who struggle with depression or anxiety stemming from events and relationships from their early childhood, and find themselves choosing similar relationships now which do not fulfill them. I excel assisting individuals who suspect themselves of struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) either due to a large trauma in their history, or due to several small trauma's. I work with individuals and families aged 3-70, whoever is ready to address their concerns.

As a therapist with a Masters degree in Counselling and as a Registered Nurse, I help people heal, change, and grow. I provide counselling for trauma, addictions, life transitions and crises, depression, anxiety, anger, childbearing issues, parenting, illness, grief, and relationship difficulties. I have post-graduate training in sensorimotor psychotherapy for the treatment of trauma. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist and a Certified Multiple Addiction Therapist. I also have training in the treatment of sex offenders.

For the past 14 years, I have worked and trained in a variety of settings, including children's mental health facilities, schools, hospitals, and private practice. I have enjoyed the rewarding challenges of treating children, adolescents and adults who are struggling with ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, gender identity issues, personality disorders, substance abuse issues, anger management issues, low self-esteem, and social skills deficits.

Accepting new clients...Have you reached your limit in pain/stress/worry? Are you growing more concerned about your relationship with alcohol and/or drugs? Or are you worried about the alcohol or drug use of someone you love and you aren't sure what you are 'supposed' to do or not do. Are you starting to realize that maybe you "don't got this", and that you need some help? Patterns of unhealthy or unhelpful behaviours developed over time CAN be changed; coping with trauma and anxiety IS possible. This can be a tough and confusing time, but reaching out for help indicates that you have hope...now it's time to build on that hope.

"Change is our only constant." I often find myself saying this to my clients as well as myself when undergoing a sudden change, challenged through a difficult event, or simply trying to navigate the stressors of everyday life. Sometimes it is difficult to manage or adjust to changes on our own and we need additional support. I hope that with my expertise I can walk alongside you to provide support when it is most needed and to help you navigate the emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and stressors that are getting in the way of your wellness.
