Therapists in Edmonton, AB
I help each client dispel self-defeating beliefs and illuminate paths toward more meaningful experiences by drawing from a variety of psycho-therapeutic interventions and therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology, Solution Focused Therapy, Existential Psychotherapy, and Hope Focused Counselling.
My goal is to help every client thrive emotionally, psychologically, and intellectually. I am equally as interested to hear a client’s story of trauma, loss, regret, loneliness, and difficult family dynamics, as I am to listen about times filled with purpose, hope, and happiness. I pay close attention to what is said, in addition to what is left unsaid, to uncover patterns of core beliefs.

I employ CBT, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and self-compassion theory in my practice.
Beginning therapy is a difficult experience for many people and it may take time to feel comfortable scheduling an appointment. Many people are nervous or anxious for their first therapy session and that's okay. It really makes sense considering you're opening up about difficult things to someone you've just met. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, compassionate space for the people I work with so they can feel comfortable being themselves without judgment or fear.

Through a mix of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and strengths- and solutions-focused approaches, we will work on how your thoughts affect your emotions and moods.
Have you ever felt so down and low that you didn’t want to engage in anything? Have you ever felt so anxious about a task that you ended up spending all your time and energy worrying about it and couldn't complete it? Do you catch yourself thinking and worrying about the same thing over and over? Trying to get things so organized and planning them down to the last minute, that it doesn’t leave you time to actually implement those plans? This is what our thoughts tend to do to us - exhausting us, leaving no energy or desire to engage with much else. If you feel this way, then we might be a good fit for each other.

My approach is calming, caring, insightful, and creative, and I'm also trained to discuss topics that some psychologists don't have the comfort or cultural knowledge to address. Together, let's start building a way forward free from struggle with negative emotions and towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life!

I draw upon the Cognitive Therapy Model, Spiritual Infused Based Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Meditation and Relaxation, Dialectic Behavioural Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Theory.
Many people who struggle with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress, feel embarrassed or stigmatized.

The foundation of my counselling practice is being compassionate and non-judgmental. I provide a person-centred practice which is about the client defining their own goals. I assure my clients they are in a safe place, confidentiality upheld, validated, and their life story and experiences honoured.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
