Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Therapists in Spruce Grove, AB

Our world is ever-changing and demanding more of us each day. This can make us feel like we are falling behind and sinking into quicksand. When this happens, anxiety, stress, depression, panic, and other harmful feelings emerge. Society gives us the message that we should be able to deal with all of these things on our own and, worse yet, that our feelings are not even real. I am here to say your feelings are legitimate, that you count, and there is a way to work through them. Together we can create goals that work towards coping with daily activities and then thriving within your life.

I work with clients to manage and treat anxiety, anger, and depression. Many of my clients are women, but I am open to anyone wanting to improve their mental health. I practice from a trauma informed client centred, empowering perspective. I use current evidence based interventions such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), solution focused therapy, mindfulness, and strength based therapies. My practice is a safe space and everyone is welcome. I proudly serve all communities including LGBTQ2S +, BIPOC, and military/ first responders.

Hello! I'm so glad you stopped by! Are you struggling with never being good enough, being unwanted, being used or abused, never fitting in, having a neurodiverse brain, being invalidated by the people in your life and by society?

I believe you are the expert at being you and I am here to sit with you and to help you heal, find your tribe, discover your strengths, and develop healthy coping skills.

I am a Registered Psychologist in Alberta with over 15 years of experience working in a variety of mental health and social settings with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. For 9 of those years I have had the honour of working directly with Indigenous individuals and communities.

I provide therapy for adults and couples.

Feeling overwhelmed! Not sure what to do or where to start? I believe the purpose of counselling is to help you develop the necessary skills to help get you through difficult times. I have 15+ years of expertise in treating depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, workplace issues, grief/loss, self-esteem, and personality-related problems. We will explore how to change negative thought patterns, deal with difficult emotions, explore new perspectives, create behavioral changes, improve self worth, enhance relationships communication and connection and create a more meaningful life.

I believe in tailoring therapy to you; incorporating elements of your life and history so each meeting feels authentic, meaningful and paves the way for change. This might include first building a narrative around your current concern, working on strategies to tackle symptoms, or diving deeper into the past and the root of your concerns. Whatever the goal, you're in charge of how you want your therapeutic experience to look. I work with children and adults and have a special interest working with anxiety, ADHD, relationship concerns, divorce, trauma, mood disorders, emotional regulation, and suicidal ideation.

The cornerstone of my therapeutic relationships are built on supporting clients to feel validated, heard, and accepted. Feeling safety and trust will improve your therapy experience, and I love to use humor in sessions. I feel passionately about supporting my clients through the processing of traumatic events-past, present, and even preparing for potential future triggers. Helping clients from all walks of life create and reach goals, heighten awareness around cognitive distortions, increase confidence and envision their preferred futures is what I do best.

Welcome, you have come seeking solutions. I came to counselling later in life and bring my experiences with me. As a counsellor, I work with adults across the lifespan, empathetic to the concerns you bring.

And be challenged. I collaborate with you, bring understanding, & new perspectives, building awareness of and explore the mind-body connection, learn of tools to use, strengthening your abilities - coping and adapting – and to thrive.

Take a moment to imagine what could be better.

Life isn't always easy and it doesn't always give us what we expect. We can find ourselves consumed with worry and spiraling thoughts or feeling so low and unmotivated, even getting out of bed seems tough. We can reel from the mental load and exhaustion that comes with chronic pain or chronic illness and feel overwhelmed or burdened with grief and loss or life transitions. We can be hard on ourselves and sometimes struggle to meet our goals. Things might feel hopeless - like they'll never get better. But you don't have to travel these roads alone.

I approach my practice with genuine curiosity, calm, and a healthy dose of humour. I am passionate about working with youth and families. I also work with adults addressing mental health, relational, and life challenges. I provide a comprehensive mental health assessment and a collaborative treatment plan based on your unique needs. Together we will work to increase connection, shift negative communication patterns, and strengthen understanding.
