Therapists in Edmonton, AB

People and their healing journeys have fascinated me for as long as I can remember. I come from a family of supporters so a mental health therapist was a great fit for me. I have always had a genuine curiosity and passion for watching people heal. I always wanted to know the magic trick, and I found out that it's embedded in human nervous system and body. I specialize in helping individuals who have experienced attachment injury, disruption, or trauma across the lifespan. These wounds can manifest as emotional scars, communication challenges, or unresolved hurts, often within the complex dynamics of the family system.

I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor, as well as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and EMDR-trained clinician, and have also trained with Dr. Gary Namie from the Workplace Bullying Institute. I take an eclectic approach from a person-centred theoretical perspective, and I attune my approach to clients' unique needs while drawing upon cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), compassion-focused therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and solution-focused therapy (SFT) interventions.

Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing - especially the humor part! Which is why they are benchmarks of my clinical practice. Combined together, the healing force created is a 'game changer' in people's lives. My approach to psychotherapy is person centered (congrats, you are unique! Your therapy should be too), grounded in attachment theory (relationships are our friend! Don't argue...everyone needs a friend) and developmental psychology (we all go through life changes, change suucks, but it's unavoidable). All this guides our path to wellness. Heads up - standard credential speech ahead...

I practice counselling from a strength-based, client-centre perspective. I honor clients' experiences and together we form collaborative relationships to identify healthy coping, and solution-oriented pathways towards clients' goals. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify maladaptive, intrusive thoughts to form adaptive self-concepts. Furthermore, I thoughtfully incorporate Eye Movement Desentization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to work with traumatic life events and emotionally freedom techniques to ground and process strong emotions. I am trained in Play Therapy to work with children and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to work with couples. I am also Pride certified to work with sexual and gender minority individuals.

Looking to break through mental roadblocks and conquer life's challenges? Seeking to diminish stress and enhance your resilience to life's demands? I partner with clients at their current stage to tackle obstacles at an affordable price (sliding scale $0 to $50). Within a safe, non-judgmental environment, I specialize in supporting individuals facing life transitions, boosting self-esteem, managing anxiety, stress, relationship issues, and navigating depression. Let's work together to overcome these challenges.

I have 20 years of experience working with people who are dealing with personal and relational issues. My approach is collaborative and focuses on developing tools and strategies that personally fit each individual. I draw upon several treatment modalities to facilitate change, including CBT, EFT, ACT, Mindfulness, and Solution Focused Therapy. My areas of interest include depression; anxiety; couples/family/relational issues; parenting; grief/loss; anger management; life crises; and stress management. I work with individuals (adults), couples, and families in the context of a supportive environment that fosters exploring issues, developing awareness & strengths, and finding solutions to resolve issues.

Supporting others begins with the presence of a safe space of openness and acceptance that facilitates a client’s innate yearning for healing, growth, and self actualization. My own journey has led me to the joy, mystery, and wonder of self discovery, the healing experience of healthy relationships, and finding meaning and purpose in life. The enjoyment in my work as a therapist comes from guiding clients on their journey to discover what brings them joy and to help them reconnect to their inner resources – their strengths, wholeness, peace, deeper nature, and internal guidance and wisdom.

Therapy is an opportunity to find ways to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life. It helps in overcoming difficult symptoms or stresses, cope effectively with problems or bring positives into your life when things are going well. I work with people struggling in their family relationships, or those in high distress from loss, grief & trauma, or people trying to cope with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, or emotional pain. In my work with individuals I have learned that working from a broad base of theories and techniques is best integrated in the therapeutic work.

I have been an educator and school counselor for the past 30 years and I am cognizant of the struggles that some children or youth experience in the regular school system.

My career in mental health spans a decade and during that time I’ve recognized the importance of tailoring my work to meet each client’s unique needs. I provide a collaborative environment to facilitate change and I meet all individuals at their own stage of readiness. As a psychologist, I utilize a strength-based approach that is grounded in Positive Psychology and employ an attitude of hope in all of my interactions. I believe that by establishing a strong therapeutic relationship I can help my clients facilitate change, foster areas of strength, and create sustainable happiness.

Good psychologists devote ample time to listening to and helping their clients. No one should have to feel like they are making an elevator pitch when they see their therapist. I offer longer sessions which allow for deeper discussions and help that is personalized to your lived experience, strengths, and culture. 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!
