Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Therapists in Spruce Grove, AB

I work with individual adults across the lifespan who are interested in holistic mental health. I use mindfulness as a pillar of my practice and strive to embody this and the other Hakomi (Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy) principles of organicity, holism, non-violence, and unity. Embracing the mind-body connection may help facilitate new beginnings and lay a different foundation through noticing patterns, creating new habits, and freeing limiting beliefs. Additional specialized training and interests are in attachment theory (relationships), polyvagal theory (working with the nervous system), and post-traumatic growth and recovery.

Whether you're discovering your Self, going through dark times, looking to improve your emotional coping, or whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I will hear your experience and walk alongside you and the pain towards brighter skies. I believe each person is already whole, and I encourage self-acceptance, compassion, and curiosity. I value self-actualization and living a good life, helping others, and living in harmony with nature. My therapeutic space is grounded in my values of love, respect, truth, joy, and health.

My aim is to help clients live a life full of meaning, connection, purpose, and vitality. Working in the Edmonton community for over 15 years, I specialize in trauma, burnout, and grief, but provide services for a wide range of concerns. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) with training in Hakomi Therapy, I honour the mind-body connection and primarily use somatic/body-oriented approaches to healing. I believe that in order to achieve true lasting change, we must work with the body, as the body is where we store our unprocessed emotions, core wounds, and traumas. NOTE: Services provided in English only.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my profile. If you are someone who is struggling with work-life balance stress, relationship challenges, or parenthood, I would love to hear from you. Adjusting to change in our lives such as welcoming a new baby, ending a relationship, and making career changes can be both stressful and exhilarating. Often, major life changes involve a component of grief and finding a new sense of self-identity. Through solutions-focused and values-based work, I help clients to find their footing and increase confidence in the midst of change and uncertainty.

Hello! I would love to work with you to support you in overcoming whatever you might be struggling with. I work with youth, adults, and couples and who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, grief, and major life transitions. If you are ready to make some changes and are looking for some encouragement and compassion along the way, then I could be a great fit for you. It might also be important for you to recognize and honour the difficult journey that has brought you to therapy, and I can support you with that as well.

Personal burnout? Work burnout? Do you struggle with anxiety, trauma, or depression, that affects all areas of your life?

I can help you feel more connected and in control. As hard as it seems right now, I can help you and your family make it through these tough times.

Grief is a deeply painful, lonely, and isolating experience. When someone we care about dies, our relationship ends in divorce, or we experience any of the other 40 forms of loss, we often feel unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with our emotions. The wonderful news is, grief does not have to be a life sentence of suffering. There are actionable tools that can help you to move beyond the pain caused by a loss in your life. Whether you are grieving due to a recent loss or a loss from long ago, it is never too soon or too late to heal your heart.

Hello and welcome. Are you currently struggling and feeling overwhelmed? Are you finding it difficult to manage stress? Therapy provides the space to explore these challenges, so you can create new meanings, hope and new beginnings. As a therapist, I work in partnership with you, providing a warm, supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Together, we can work toward finding solutions to the problems you've been struggling with, identifying ways that you want to create meaningful change in your life.

Are you ready to move beyond coping and toward change and healing? I help clients achieve their goals by introducing practical strategies/skills, while simultaneously working through the causes of issues so that symptoms reduce in the long term. This may involve re-evaluating your thinking, improving awareness and regulation of emotions, getting in tune with your values, identifying parts of yourself that are in conflict, or making peace with past experiences. Everyone's' needs are different, so I will work with you to create a personalized treatment approach.

I help people cope with the everyday and exceptional challenges of life, experience less suffering, and engage more fully with the present moment. Therapy provides a unique relationship which gives you the opportunity to freely evaluate the thoughts and feelings you carry, particularly those that no longer serve you. My role is to help guide you towards your internal strengths, self-acceptance and trust.

Do you want to stop feeling consumed with thoughts of food or 'dieting', and feel more in charge of your eating behaviours? Do you want to find self-acceptance, and feel more at peace with your body? Incorporate movement in a joyful way? You are in the right place!
