Do you feel like your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are often misaligned with who you want to be, who you really are deep inside? Are you ready to begin transforming the beliefs, emotions, and patterns you hold inside of yourself that keep you from fully living the life that you want? Together we can explore the roots of whatever you are currently wanting help with - be it emotional regulation, self-compassion, relationships, depression, anxiety, addictions, life transitions, sexuality, spirituality, and racial identity. These roots can span across multiple generations, often inviting us to tune in to our ancestral history.

Hi! I am a Provisional Psychologist working at Charis Counselling in West Edmonton. Clients I have worked with in the past have been willing to have difficult conversations with themselves and challenge the way they see and project themselves. While doing this, it is important to acknowledge that any type of positive change is still a step in the direction of their goals! With this balanced perspective, we can work to find the thoughts and paired emotions that are affecting your behaviours, and negatively impacting your life.

ONLY accepting Black, Indigenous & People of Color (BIPOC); Feeling some type of way? Say, "Hey, JeeHye (G-Hey)!" Together, we can address your worries, low moods, sleep disturbances, work/school stress, struggle with confidence, experiences of being othered, difficulty with relationships, anger/resentment, lack of motivation, feelings of not wanting to be here, and more. If you have ever experienced trauma, I can help you understand how it has impacted you in hopes of changing any unhelpful ways you may have learned to protect yourself. I will do my best to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share freely and bravely.

I work predominantly with folks who are racialized, 2SLGBTIQ, neurodivergent, and/or disabled. Often, those I work with have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder; experience identity-based trauma; struggle with relationships, emotional regulation, or impulsivity; want greater self-awareness or understanding; want to feel a sense of belonging, connection, and safety; or generally, want more joy in their lives.

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Calgary. My practice experience includes working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship concerns, and career exploration. I also have particular interests in the areas of challenges with cultural gaps and conflicts, navigating a bicultural identity, and men’s mental health.

I primarily use IFS (internal family systems), EMDR (eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing), and somatic therapies to help clients heal from and cope more effectively with difficulties having to do with mood disorders, eating disorders, ADHD, addiction, sexual abuse, complex trauma (i.e. repeated painful experiences of betrayal, abandonment, or boundary violations); grief, disrupted attachment in early childhood, as well as experiences of discrimination, exclusion, or shaming on the basis of sexuality, sexual orientation, cultural identity, or anything else that unjustly marks an individual as inferior.

My passion and experience is supporting children, youth and adults from diverse backgrounds including First Nation communities. I bring a wealth of international experience in the field of trauma informed mental health interventions with different cultures. I have worked and trained in various parts of the world including the United Kingdom, Southern Africa and Canada.

Life can be challenging; we may experience trauma, relationship issues, grief/loss, or significant life changes. I believe the ways we learn to manage or cope with these challenges are important, as they help us survive difficult moments. However, if you find these coping tools are no longer working for you and would like to learn alternative tools, therapy may be an option. I believe that a strong relationship with your therapist is the most important tool to create a foundation for therapy. I will meet you in our sessions with warmth, humour, and empathy in order to build a safe and trusting connection.

As an Intern Mental Health Therapist and certified Grief Recovery Specialist, I strive to create a non-judgemental, validating space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions.

I have worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, emotion dysregulation, Autism, and trauma. The majority of my experience is with adolescents and young adults, but I welcome individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

As a Somali-Canadian therapist, I have lived experiences navigating two identities and understanding trauma.
