Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Chestermere, AB

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.

Are you presently struggling due to a loss or life transition? Are you having difficulty coping with anxiety and depression? Life changes can be overwhelming, and you may feel there is no positive way to handle the challenges life can bring. When working with individuals, couples, and families, we strive to create an environment of emotional safety, and a place where you feel heard. We work collaboratively with clients to promote new skills and ways of learning, and to support you in making a commitment to living more fully, moving forward, and find healing.

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.

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.

Struggling with grief, trauma, or relationships? I provide tailored, empathetic guidance to navigate your unique challenges. Together, we'll explore your emotions, nurturing resilience and fostering growth. Whether it's grief, trauma, parenting, or self-discovery you seek support for, I'm here to empower you on your healing journey.

Are you struggling with issues related to stress, anxiety, depression, conflict in relationships, trauma, grief, career, financial stress or major life changes? There comes a time when we may need some help from a certified professional to cope with many of life’s challenges. I can help by providing the tools, with compassionate guidance, to navigate difficult circumstances, and achieve your dreams and goals in life. I provide clients with a wide range of scientifically driven and effective assessment, treatment and psychological counselling services. I offer empathic, strengths based counselling and seek to empower clients.

"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.

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.

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.

We all experience challenges in life and can benefit from some extra support. The process to begin therapy can be daunting, but I strive to offer a warm and welcoming environment. I like to work with various personal challenges such as anxiety, ADHD, stress, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, and trauma processing. I believe in working from a collaborative approach, where we work together to reach your goals. It is important to me to offer a place where we can build a solid connection and create a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore your inner conflicts, challenges, and/or relationship difficulties.

If you feel like you no longer take pleasure in usual activities, your interpersonal relationships are suffering, you find your mood sad, angry and you experience sleep disturbances...you are not alone! Mental health is a continuum and everyone at times feels overwhelmed, out of balance and confused by life’s curve-balls. As a Registered Psychologist, I've successfully worked with clients with various issues such as relationship concerns-couples/marital issues, trauma, PTSD, OCD, grief/loss, self-esteem, co-dependency, depression, anxiety, phobia, and occupational stress.

Life can be challenging, and everyone needs support at times. Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem? Are seeking to heal from trauma, cope with the pain of grief and loss, or find guidance through relationship or marital difficulties. Perhaps, you are feeling overwhelmed by high levels of stress or the exhaustion that comes from burnout? If any of these resonates with you, I am here to support you. Together we can navigate through these difficult experiences, and work towards healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.

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.

Accepting new clients! Finding a neurodiversity-affirming therapist can be tough. A traditional or neurotypical approach may not resonate with your ADHD/Autistic experiences, and maybe you've been looking for someone who 'gets it'. As an auDHDer (ADHD + autistic) myself, I bring both a personal experience lens and therapeutic training to the table. Whether you're on an unmasking journey, looking to heal some big hurts, or just figuring your life out, I'm here to help you develop skills, process trauma, improve interpersonal relationships, and find strategies to make life more ADHD/Autistic-friendly. Self and late-diagnosis welcome!

The approach that I take towards therapy is compassionate, genuine, accepting, and collaborative. Some areas that I can help you with are creating balance in your life, connecting to and understanding your emotions, decreasing impulsive behaviours, and exploring your goals and values. Ultimately my aim is to help you create the life you want to live.
