EMDR Therapists in Alberta
I work with adults and teens and incorporate solution-focused and/or cognitive behavioral therapy along with relaxation hypnosis, EMDR and other modalities.
I am passionate about helping people lead their best lives and overcome barriers that may be holding them back. With more than 25 years of experience as a psychologist I take an outcome-based approach based on clients desires. Having lived many years of my younger adulthood with anxiety, low confidence and eating disorders it is my goal to help individuals heal and move towards their potential rather than staying stuck in a cycle of helplessness and self-loathing.

Sometimes the lingering effects of trauma are so intense they need to be targeted more directly by using EMDR.
I believe people experience psychological/emotional suffering because they are not able to relate deeply enough to certain aspects of themselves. This disconnection causes "symptoms" and pain. Depression and anxiety are the most common, but they can further develop into problems with identity, addictions, anger, suicidal feelings, despair, problems in relationships, personality disorders etc. To relieve suffering and to further ones personal development, a deeper connection with self is needed. The clients I usually work with are people who feel thwarted in their attempts to be happy, have satisfying relationships, achieve success.

A combination of EMDR, parts/ego states work, and attachment focused interventions can support recovery from many types of traumas.
Trauma impacts all areas of our life. It can leave us in a constant state of discomfort, anxiety, or feeling unsafe in our own bodies and the world. We might find ourselves reacting in ways that make us feel out of control. Our relationships might suffer, and we might turn to food, work, substances, or other distractions to try and get away from thoughts and feelings about what happened to us. Sometimes we might even feel like there are parts of us that think and feel different things. Trauma can come in the form of accidents, abuse, neglect, minority stress, bullying, micro aggressions, assault, or conversion therapy to name a few.

I offer EMDR, CPT, PE and SE often for trauma, and CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention for a variety of other issues.
I love working with trauma and have specialized experience with first responders. I get how it changes the way you think, feel and act so can work with emotional dysregulation and behavioural issues too. Addiction is common, and often a way to cope, and it's the underlying issues I enjoy nurturing and healing. At times, I work with people struggling in relationships, sometimes with themselves, or as they adjust to relational changes or losses like grief. Other times I support people as they navigate life transitions like career changes, pregnancy or parenthood, health issues or effects of aging.
