Hello, I am passionate about supporting people in achieving their personal goals and overcoming struggles in their lives. I believe therapy can help people learn new coping skills and utilize their strengths to manage even the most painful challenges. I work to provide therapy that is collaborative, effective, professional and individualized to clients needs. Over, the past 20 years I have worked with adolescents and adults who struggle with borderline personality disorder, substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma related symptoms and psychosis to build their life worth living.

I am a PhD trained provisional psychologist who is committed to building therapeutic relationships fostered by trust, collaboration, and understanding to help clients make meaningful changes in their lives. I work with people to identify their goals, collaboratively tailor treatments to help people get out of maladaptive cycles, and help clients use their own strengths to enhance their overall health and wellbeing. I work with adult clients of all ages.

Hello, I am now accepting new individual and couples' therapy clients in BC and AB. Referrals may include clients with Depressive Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Bipolar and Related Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders, Trauma and Stressor Related Disorders, relationship issues, CBT for Psychosis, and Health-related matters (e.g. adjustment to neurological diagnoses/TBI). Longer term therapy and "depth work" related to personality or life stage challenges are also offered. In addition to psychotherapy services, my practice includes psychological/diagnostic assessment and neuropsychological assessment reports.

I believe that psychology is a tool for solving problems and working through change. In my career, I have helped many people 'get unstuck', overcoming emotional difficulties and working through trauma, grief, and loss. I also regularly work with couples and families, helping with challenges including marital conflict and parenting difficulties. My approach is integrative, and tailored to each person that I meet. I draw upon a number of evidenced-based approaches, including emotion-focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, experiential therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy.

We understand how messy, intimidating, and overwhelming therapy can be. We strive to provide a supportive, non-judgemental space in our virtual sessions where you can enjoy the comforts of your own home. We have therapists who are able to address those pesky negative thoughts and who are able to pick a therapeutic approach based on your needs and goals. We want to encourage continued learning outside the counselling space by giving you the tools you need to do so. Client care and advocacy are important; if we don’t have the right tools you need, we won’t stop searching until we do!

Life can feel overwhelming at times and it's important to realize you are not alone. I am a registered psychologist who provides assessment and treatment services to adults and seniors with mild to severe mental health issues—specifically, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, self-esteem, life transition, addiction issues, bipolar and psychotic disorders, as well as posttraumatic stress among MVA survivors. My work conducting psychological assessments offers another angle in promoting self-exploration and identifying opportunities for growth. I also provide vocational counselling in the context of life and career transitions.

Do you struggle with the question, “Tell me about yourself”? Do you find that negative self-talk, self-criticism, or shame can show up under stress? Growing up in stressful or unsupportive environments can sometimes impact how we view ourselves, others and the world. No matter what your age, reclaiming yourself is possible. My name is Tayler, and I specialize in supporting adults in exploring and embracing their identities. I have noticed that negative self-talk, difficulties with self-image, identity crisis, and other concerns with self-esteem can be rooted in past pain or struggles from the past.

I am a culturally affirming Master's level social worker who is passionate about working with diverse populations and creating a non-judgmental space where each client feels heard, respected, and understood. I provide counselling to youth, adults, individuals, couples, and families and I have over 14 years of experience as a clinician on the frontline and in leadership teams. I understand that at times, life’s impacts bring stress, worry, frustration, and anxiety. I work to provide clients with the right support, help, and guidance so that they can cope with challenges and re-discover their path to a more fulfilling life.

I believe empathy, collaboration, and warmth are key factors to develop a strong and safe therapeutic relationship that will support meaningful goals for change. I am a PhD trained clinical and health psychologist working in private practice and with Alberta Health Services. I have expertise working with couples and adults with a range of health and mental health concerns such as pre/post-partum anxiety/depression, gynecological issues (e.g., vaginismus/vulvodynia, desire, functionality), chronic/acute illness (e.g., cancer), concurrent disorders, anxiety and mood disorders, stress and adjustment, and relational difficulties.

Tired of fighting with life? Feeling drained of energy, demoralized and running out of options? Are you sabotaging yourself? Frustration and confusion can lead to hopelessness and fear. You can’t stay connected to the good life, others, or even yourself… This is a horrible place to be! But we don’t have to live here. What you need is someone with experience and skill to come alongside you, in acceptance, bringing clarity – illuminating reasons why this has been happening to you; all of which bring safety, hope, and direction to your life. I was once here, but now I’m not; now I have a roadmap to get you out of here…

As a Jungian Psychoanalyst trained at C.G Jung Institute Zurich I offer the analytic approach,as a fascinated way to face life transition, trauma and all kind of psychological issues. The ultimate result of this approach is increased wisdom as a tool of taking appropriate decisions in everyday life. Wisdom is acquired only by processing the life experience in a constructive way and finding the inner pace I take an integrative approach to analytic work that focuses on the unique needs of my patients,working collaboratively with them to focus on understanding their concerns and conflicts both within themselves and with other people.

Are you open to new possibilities? In order to understand who you want to be, you have to know who you are first. Gain insight and awareness into your situation, and learn to extract the lessons from your past struggles to develop new ways of coping and managing the challenges in your life. From early on, people learn behaviors to protect themselves for survival — but what worked in the past may no longer be helpful today. When basic human needs aren’t met, the outcome is often depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, or even addiction.

Have you been noticing anxiety, fear, or judgment taking up space in your life lately, or holding you back from finding joy, meaningful relationships, motivation, or confidence? Has it been difficult to understand or live authentically in your gender identity or sexuality? I work with youth, young adults, and families struggling with their identity (trans-affirming), sexuality (2SLGBTQlA+, queer-affirming space), anxiety, low mood, "big emotions", relationships, school-related challenges, or the stress of everyday life. By exploring values and ways to work with our emotions, we can foster a life of authenticity and self-acceptance.

Experiencing adverse life events like trauma during our developmental years can dramatically impact our quality of life. By challenging this programming and recontextualizing it, we can develop a new sense of ourselves that is more resilient and better able to show up authentically in our relationships. Since trauma often occurs within a family dynamic, I am also able to effectively treat youth (12+) and families struggling with dysfunction.

I work with individuals who have survived traumatic life experiences. I understand their challenges, having gone through and overcome my own. Survivors of trauma realize that their pain patterns have changed them, and impacted their loved ones. Their goal is to find relief from their pain and agony, and their desire is to be heard, witnessed, understood, validated, and mended from the pain they carry as they find their inner healing. The pain and agony that was carried will be released in absolute privacy.

Are you dealing with anxious thoughts? Are you struggling to connect with others or even yourself? Are your relationships suffering? Perhaps you are dealing with grief and loss? Feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and frustrated can be disheartening. I am here to tell you that it is possible to gain perspective once again! It is possible to improve your relationships! You can improve your life- and I would be honoured to be part of that journey.

“I am committed to your mental health and wellness.” Through building awareness in an unconditionally accepting therapeutic relationship, my clients are able to develop adaptive ways of coping, learn new ways of relating to others in their lives, and to experience deeper connection, acceptance and respect for themselves and their emotions.
