After working 18 years in the oilfield and an uncertain economy rearing itself all around Albertans, I decided that it was time to get a different kind of education. While enjoying over 7 years of post-secondary education I learned through counselling how to live in my new world. Not only as a different kind of man, but clean and sober as well (now 11 years living in complete sobriety from alcohol and drugs).

Everybody needs support to help navigate life, swerve, pick yourself up, and get back on track towards a meaningful life. I'm passionate about helping teens and young adults connect to their purpose and discover what they want their lives to be about, what motivates them, and why they do things the way they do.

Hi, I'm Ben. This is not an easy first step, but you should be proud of making this step. I know I am. It is very common to feel overwhelmed, isolated, or stuck in negative thought patterns, and feel like these emotions impact your daily life and overall well-being. If you are struggling with feelings of low self-worth, pervasive sadness, or chronic stress, and have difficulty managing your emotions or maintaining healthy relationships there is a way to find change. If you want clarity, support, or simply someone safe to talk to, I am more than happy to help!

I help adults struggling with their mental health achieve more peace and less chaos. I have over ten years experience counselling people with trauma, addiction, and mental illness. I now serve clients in community in private practice helping people find their way home to their most authentic selves. I am a graduate of the two year Hakomi Psychosomatic Therapist training program and I am currently finishing my Master's of Counselling Psychology to further my practice. I specialize in attachment injuries, complex trauma (CPTSD), addiction, and anxiety/depression.

Issues of concern can arise for all families as children grow though various stages. With experience working with children and families in various capacities, issues such as parent teen conflict, grief and loss, divorce, depression, anxiety, attachment, and inattention can be addressed.

I enjoy working with clients who want to explore the origins of their symptoms, whether it is related to past trauma or rooted in unhealthy beliefs or troubling relationship issues. More and more people are struggling with anxiety and depression, it is almost epidemic really. These struggles show up in a host of somatic symptoms, such as sleep issues, body pain, nausea, fatigue, irregularities in appetite, and headaches. In our attempt to escape feelings of emotional overwhelm we turn to other things to distract us. Once we learn to look past these distractions and address our feelings we then open the door to real healing.

Raising a child with emotional or behavioural challenges is overwhelming and can leave you feeling like you have failed as a parent. With my clinical experience, we can work together, on how you can enhance your relationship with your child and manage challenging behaviours. I will work with you to gain confidence and rediscover the joy of parenting. I have worked in different countries and I bring a broad range of experiences from a multitude of settings and I also work in Forensic Psychiatry.

Whether you want to transform the core of what's been troubling you throughout your life, a space to process what’s happened, support to adjust to or understand yourself, or to develop more coping tools, and learn to thrive – I would love to support you. For the last seven years, I have worked in hospital, community, agency, and school settings in different cultural contexts, providing therapy and assessment for mild to chronic, complex issues and concerns.

I’m a transgender, non-binary, queer, neurodivergent therapist who offers support to adolescents and adults. I specialize in working with queer folks in areas such as gender and sexuality, sex work, sexual violence, depression, anxiety, trauma, and neurodiversity. My work is informed by values of anti-racism, queer theory, and harm reduction. I take a client-centred, affirming approach to sex work, kink, and non-traditional family orientations. I often integrate humour into client interactions to foster genuine connection and build authentic rapport for therapeutic support.

I am a Registered Psychologist in both AB and SK. I have over 15 years of clinical assessment experience with children, adolescents, adults, public safety personnel, front line workers, and health care professionals. My goal with formal assessment is to help you explore your symptoms, gain understanding of your responses and patterns, and empower you to gain renewed agency, with or without a formal diagnosis. I am competent to diagnose within the scope of the DSM. I also offer trauma treatment and am certified in TFCBT and BOS and have training in CPT, NMT, and other models, having worked in this field over 15 years.

I have both professional training and personal experience with hard and painful situations. Whether you feel hopeless, unsettled, conflicted or downright angry at your circumstances or maybe you just sense there is way more to this life than you are currently experiencing, I believe I can help. With my direct approach, it won’t take long to get to the heart of the issues, the core problems, so we can work together to find the best possible solutions. I come alongside individuals or couples, adults and teens, to help understand or change perspective so you can rewrite the narrative of your life.
