Therapists in Alberta

You know yourself better than anyone else, so you are the best person to decide what's right or wrong for you. My job is to help you figure things out, so you won't need my help anymore and to work on the issues that led you to therapy. I'm not here to judge your actions but to assist in creating clarity or a change in perspective. During our time together, I aim to equip you with skills, tools, or new perspectives that you can apply to your current situation or adapt to future challenges. I'm a Certified Clinical Counsellor with 25 years in mental health and 14 years as a therapist.

I work with youth, adults, couples and families. I provide services in English and Arabic languages.

It's in our nature to need connection and belonging. When we are in an intimate relationship, sometimes we fight, get discouraged and feel hopeless. We may feel lost and misunderstood. In our couple work, I will help you see the negative cycle that couples enter when they fight, identify the emotional needs and bring understanding and new patterns of communication that will bring satisfaction in your couple. During our individual journey of life, we experience challenges, negative events, losses and anxiety which can make us unhappy. Through our collaborative work, I will accompany and support you in finding connection and purpose.

Many people who struggle with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress, feel embarrassed or stigmatized. Others who struggle with domestic violence, relationship issues, faith based struggles, addiction issues, suicidal ideations, and anger management issues feel alone and unsure of who they can speak to. The foundation of my counselling practice is being compassionate and non-judgmental. I provide a person-centred practice which is about the client defining their own goals. I assure my clients they are in a safe place, confidentiality upheld, validated, and their life story and experiences honoured.

Welcome. I serve those clients with a broad spectrum of challenges and issues, ranging from anxiety and depression to trauma and addictions as well as anger management and marital separation.

Many of my clients find the addition of hypnosis helpful in resolving issues related to depression, anxiety, weight management, infertility, smoking cessation and pain management.

Supporting couples, individuals and families in times of struggles is my passion. I am experienced in working with individuals of all ages who have experienced childhood traumas (sexual/physical/emotional abuse), and who struggle with a variety of mental health issues such as Tourettes, ADHD, sexual struggles, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Depression, Anxiety Disorder, OCD and Distorted Eating. I have over a decade of experience working with families in crisis, parent/teen conflict, relationship/marriage difficulties, custody/access conflict, addictions, survivors of sexual/physical abuse, depression, and anger management issues.

I work with individuals with a wide-range of concerns and backgrounds but my main areas of focus are working with anxiety, eating disorders, ADHD and addiction issues. In my therapeutic approach, I aim to understand you and your world. Although people may share the same common symptoms, issues, and life’s ups and downs: no two people experience them exactly the same. It is important for me to understand how you experience things, so I can help you find solutions that fit for you. Together we will work collaboratively to figure out what is working for you and how to change the things that are not.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious or depressed? Are you feeling disconnected, unheard and alone in your relationship? I help people to feel calm, centered, and empowered and help couples to feel connected, communicate and learn to have fun again. I believe in using practical and personalized strategies that are right for you.

Are you a "big feeler"? Have you always been considered emotional or sensitive? Big feelers are often filled with worries about the future and overwhelmed by the present. You might spend a lot of time dealing with racing thoughts and fears. It's difficult to feel like you're living a secret life where no one knows how much you struggle. You might even feel like no one really knows you. You might wish you could just turn your brain off for a while and not feel so deeply impacted by everything.

I work with a broad range of people to help alleviate anxiety, depression and stress. I also have experience working with couples on relationship issues and within a healthcare setting. I have worked for a long time with an adolescent population, more recently with a geriatric population, and everything in between.

My approach to therapy is focused on collaboration and empowerment. My aim is to listen and understand your experiences while offering you genuine kindness, compassion, and empathy. Some of the areas I can help you with include understanding and managing your emotions, growing self-awareness, exploring your values, helping you get unstuck, and building confidence in yourself. I am flexible about adjusting my style to include different amounts of talk therapy, strategies, and skills training based on what you are looking for.
