No waitlist! 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!

The challenges we experience in life can leave us feeling exhausted. We might be feeling stuck in a seemingly endless cycle of dread, self-criticism, and overwhelming feelings. We may feel disconnected from ourselves, our goals, our values and those around us. As your therapist, my goal is to provide you a safe, respectful and non-judgmental space, where you are able to reconnect with yourself, your emotions and your values. I believe that we all have the capacity to move towards self-compassion, growth, exploration and empowerment when provided the opportunity and support.

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).

I've always had a desire to work in the helping profession. I'm excited to continue my journey in the mental health field as a member of the DC Psychological Services team.

The way in which life events, even those that seem small, can have a lifelong impact is of particular interest to me. While ensuring a safe and comfortable space for clients, I strive to support clients on their journey of working through the struggles that are holding them back from achieving the life they want.

Hello! I am an attachment-oriented psychologist specializing in treating anxiety, stress, shame, trauma, and relational concerns. My practice is grounded in the belief that we are all hard-wired for connection. I believe that psychological distress is a symptom of disconnection. We can experience disconnection with ourselves, others, or both. I help people figure out what kind of connection they are looking for and how to get it. Sometimes this means having to shed old patterns in order to make room for new ones. For example, someone in a new relationship may need to learn how to let their guard down even though this seems scary.

Hello, reaching out to a therapist can be hard but you should know is this is a safe place to talk about whatever is going on in your life. I believe in providing a space without judgment, a space to download your story and to provide you a place of support and guidance. Part of my practice is to reach out to you in between sessions because I believe in a person centered approach and support should be ongoing. My goal is to support, guide and advocate so that each person finds movement forward. Life can be challenging and sometimes you just need another person to work things through with. I believe I can help you.

I enjoy working with both new and experienced parents who may be needing some support with parenting and building healthy attachments. I believe that in order to be present for our children, we need to ensure we take care of our own mental health as parents. I love to provide support to parents to help them flourish and embrace the parenting experience. The transition to parenthood, birth trauma, infant/toddler sleep, and postpartum anxiety are all areas of interest for me. I have my level one EMDR certificate and plan to take additional training specifically for EMDR with birth trauma and other maternal trauma.
