EMDR Therapists in Alberta
I utilize EMDR, CBT, DBT, Self-compassion and narrative therapy in my work with clients.
Do you find yourself feeling exhausted, burnt out, or anxious? Recently welcomed a new baby and can't stop thinking about your challenging birth experience? Struggling to find your groove as a couple? Overwhelmed with intrusive thoughts and fears? Tearful and overstimulated? Those that reach out to me for help are typically suffering from trauma, depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and struggles coping with pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting. I support individuals that want to learn skills to regulate, manage mood, improve their coping, and enjoy pregnancy and parenting.

My training includes psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused, trauma-informed, expressive arts, dialectical behavioural therapies, systemic models, EMDR and brain-spotting.
Many things in our lives are on a continuum, including the intensity of the problem, resilience, resourcefulness, and healing. Sometimes we need more guidance and help than other times, and sometimes we feel that we can manage on our own. The striving to heal or cope at our best may be subtle or more apparent in our lives, which helps to realize that change is needed, contemplate it, and act. My approach to psychotherapy is integrative, eclectic, and trauma-informed.

Using IFS, EFT, EMDR, (and a little bit of humour), I hope to help you find your way back to love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and gentleness.
Tired of your cycle? Are you wrestling in your relationships or tired of fighting the same fights? Are you weighed down by shame or carry the weight of your past? Do you subtly ask your partner "are you there for me?" and are afraid they wouldn't say yes? Do you carry your past around like luggage, feeling the weight of unhealed trauma, religious shame, relationship struggles, difficulties in sex or not being able to trust loved ones anymore? My best work is with those struggling with always being too much or never being enough and as a result not feeling respected or cherished the way they long for.

I am an EFT and EMDR trained therapist with special interests in PTSD, C-PTSD, First Responders/Veterans, workplace stressors, depression, anxiety, couples, family and relationship injuries.
Stress and trauma can cause us to feel disconnected from ourselves, and the world around us. It has this way of making us feel like we are living outside of ourselves, or like we are going ‘crazy.’ Whether you are seeking individual, couples or family therapy, I offer support that can help you to deepen your sense of belonging, safety and understanding.

If you are concerned about your child/youth’s anxiety or mood, I have two decades of experience that I can offer. If you have an anxious/sensitive personality, or are a perfectionist that worries too much, or find yourself over thinking everything - we may be a great fit. If you simply need a safe place to work towards personal growth, self discovery, work/life balance, or living your best life, I would love to help you on your journey. If you are experiencing fertility or reproductive setbacks that impact your identity or parenting/family challenges that others just don’t seem to understand, I would invite you to connect with me.

I am a Registered Psychologist & EMDR International Association Approved Consultant working with those who have experienced trauma.
Trauma can leave an imprint on our lives, but it does not have to be permanent. It may alter your foundation and leave you lost, angry, confused and in unbearable pain. I believe that choosing to rebuild this foundation through therapy is a courageous step in healing. It is not always an easy journey as we need to survey the land, start digging, install the foundation and work with any arising obstacles. This can be an exhausting and scary process but we will work collaboratively at your pace and create a resolution that fits for you.

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.
