Motivational Interviewing Therapists in T2S

My goal is to help you overcome life’s challenges while you maintain your professional performance and results.

Reaching out for help can be difficult. We aren't always used to opening up in authentic and vulnerable ways with others. You are not alone in this. Here at Abundance Psychology, you will be given a safe space to be heard and valued without judgement. You will get to know yourself better, and better understand your goals for therapy. You will feel empowered to learn about the patterns that exist in your life, as well as exploring your strengths and developing new skills for growth.

Your needs are important, and I am here to help you feel supported and validated, whether you are seeking support for yourself, with your partner or as a family. You will always feel listened to in my counselling room. A counselling approach that uses emotion to change emotion is powerful and offers so much hope. It is effective with couples and individuals alike. Meeting your unique needs is what matters most, so I am flexible and incorporate a range of interventions that will help you reach your goals. Counselling is not "one size fits all"; it is a creative process of working together to help you feel in control of your life.

Whether you're experiencing general unhappiness or attempting to manage a personal loss, trauma, substance use, anxiety or depression, I'd welcome the opportunity to hear your story, explore solutions or offer strategies to enhance your health and well-being.

Welcome! Right about now, things don't feel right. You strive to do your best, but lately, you've been feeling stuck. No one would know it b/c you present really well - but privately, you're hurting on the inside. The truth is things don't feel right in one or more areas of your life. You're tired of dealing with self-doubt & negative thoughts, feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or burnt out, and not being confident & happy like you want. You might even be tired of carrying around that internal pain you've been trying to keep tucked deep inside. Secretly, you wonder if you can feel better & get through the stuff that's holding you back.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious? Struggling with relationships, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or finding balance in life transitions? Do you find yourself incessantly worrying, or feeling like you’re not “good enough”? Are you ready to discover a better version of yourself?

I am a registered psychologist who specializes in child and adolescent therapy services for social, emotional and/or behavioural concerns. I work with children, teens, young adults and their families. I offer evidence based treatments for a range of presenting concerns such as anxiety, low self-esteem, OCD, ADHD, depression, stress, life transitions and parent-child relational concerns.

Perhaps you’ve had a recent experience that has affected you deeply, experiencing a emotional or mental shift for some time, or have a past that has somehow found its way to affect the present. I create personalized treatment plans for each client that are grounded in science and research, in order to help every person I work with to achieve their goals. If this sounds like something you would benefit from please reach out to see if my approach is the right fit for you.

Problems can be pretty tricky, they can stump us, limit possibilities and lead us to reconsider the very things that are important in life. I am interested in creating a conversations that welcome both the difficult experience you are up against, like an anxiety or depression or tricky relationship, alongside a commitment to uncovering the responses you have used to get by, and in some cases survive, despite difficult problems. We all have the right to our own experiences and to feel legitimate no matter how big or small, permanent or temporary a problem may be.

Taking the first step in seeking therapy is a sign of strength. I am an experienced doctorate trained Clinical Psychologist with expertise in assessment & therapy, specializing in evidence-based treatment of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, autism spectrum/Asperger’s (neurodiversity affirming), personality, identity & self-esteem issues, addictions, chronic illness/pain; and in dealing with challenging life situations such as loss/grief, relationship or work issues. I also value and provide therapy from a positive psychology orientation, supporting self-growth, authenticity, & living your best life.

The decision to start therapy is a courageous first step towards understanding, healing, and change. I offer therapy to adolescents, adults, and couples in Calgary, AB and Bragg Creek AB. I believe that most people can benefit from therapy at some point in their lives. Whether you struggle with persistent troubling thoughts or feelings, are overwhelmed by events that are out of your control, or just want to get in touch with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life, therapy can help.

I am here to offer you a safe space to open up. As a psychologist with a passion for helping individuals navigate their pain and find strength within themselves, I specialize in trauma treatment, and I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey to healing. I understand how overwhelming and isolating it can feel sometimes, and I want you to know that you don't have to go through this alone.
