Self Esteem Therapists in Edmonton, AB

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.

You want to find ways to cope with these challenges and feel empowered to create a fulfilling life for yourself.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion, with a modern and scientific spin on mindfulness to guide you in processing emotions and coping with anxiety and stress. The fundamentals of positive neuroplasticity inspire me to support others in finding hope and creating a new internal reality.
