Grief Therapists in T5N
I bring empathy, warmth, and collaboration as a therapist and aim to create meaningful connections with my clients. I have worked extensively with anxiety, depression, trauma (including childhood trauma), sexual assault/abuse, grief/ loss, relationship/family issues, stress, burnout/compassion fatigue, as well as chronic illness. I also have a heartfelt interest, and post-graduate training, in working with individuals and couples impacted by infertility and perinatal/postpartum mental health. I bring over 15 years of experience and work with adults (individuals and couples) and teens.

My previous work as a Registered Nurse fostered a special interest in supporting individuals as they navigate hardship and unexpected losses, and exploring topics of medical trauma, chronic pain, or challenges with reproductive or perinatal mental health.
I believe counselling provides a unique opportunity to explore many facets of life. Through our work together, my hope is that you will come to know yourself better - your emotions, your needs, your values, and your goals, and that this will empower you to make meaningful change in your life.

I work with clients and their personal challenges with care, warmth, compassion, and curiosity. We explore the barriers that hold you back from having the life you desire. My focus is to guide you towards a deeper level of change. We do this by exploring the patterns keeping you stuck, beliefs that limit you, and thoughts that cause you distress. Often these patterns are rooted in the past due to early attachment, developmental, relational and shock trauma. Processing these experiences in a safe therapeutic relationship, allows us to heal the past and move to a place of authenticity, integrity, and satisfaction in our lives.

Supporting others begins with the presence of a safe space of openness and acceptance that facilitates a client’s innate yearning for healing, growth, and self actualization. My own journey has led me to the joy, mystery, and wonder of self discovery, the healing experience of healthy relationships, and finding meaning and purpose in life. The enjoyment in my work as a therapist comes from guiding clients on their journey to discover what brings them joy and to help them reconnect to their inner resources – their strengths, wholeness, peace, deeper nature, and internal guidance and wisdom.

Are you struggling and feel like you have nobody you can turn to? There are many things that can make us feel isolated or afraid to seek help. Shame, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, feeling burdened by pressures and expectations. These can be overwhelming, confusing, and scary experiences. There is no easy way to unravel the complexities of the pain we feel or the pressures we face in our lives. But I want to be there to help you figure things out.

You're always someone worth caring for - can't stress that one enough. Therapy is an invitation to explore your relationships with others, with yourself; to find safety and meaning, in whatever that looks like. For some folks, that means negotiating the things that used to work but no longer do, for others that might be truly feeling like they can feel safe with themselves.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling (MC) from City University of Seattle. My diverse background includes working at a community drop-in centre in Edmonton, run by the Mustard Seed, and serving as a wildland firefighter in Peace River, Alberta.

I primarily work with adults and teenagers, with aspirations to facilitate couples and group therapy in the future.

I am a doctoral-level registered Clinical Psychologist with 11 years of education and training. I completed my PhD at McGill University and subsequently pursued specialized postdoctoral training at the Stanford School of Medicine. I work primarily with adults experiencing mental and physical health concerns. I am a specialist in the treatment of chronic pain. I also have a particular interest and expertise in working with individuals experiencing perfectionism and procrastination.

As a Registered Psychologist, I am committed to helping others live a life they deeply value, in spite of what suffering inevitably arises. I offer a respectful, confidential space where you will be supported in honest, non-judgmental self-exploration. Together, we can work on approaching your difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences in new ways: with compassion, understanding, and the courage to be vulnerable. My goal is to help you build behavioural flexibility, so that you are increasingly able to act in ways that align with your values, rather than rigidly re-cycling old patterns of behaviour.

My main focus when working with clients is to help them achieve positive change and reach their goals. I strongly believe in a collaborative approach, where I empower my clients to actively participate in their transformative journey. Together, we strive to deeply understand their personal stories, experiences, and the importance of their goals. During each session, my goal is to be my authentic self, creating a warm and secure atmosphere. This encourages clients to freely share their stories and ensures that their voices are heard.

I like to work with clients who feel stuck, who cannot find a way out of their ongoing struggles. They may or may not have tried many different solutions, but they are hoping for significant, long term improvements to their mental health or relationships, and they need help. At the same time, they also want to participate in their healing journey. They realize or come to realize that, ultimately, they are responsible for their mental health and they want both learning and tools that will be ongoing resources so counselling will not last forever.

I believe we are all coping as best we can, and there are times in our lives when we can use extra support and guidance in seeking clarity and direction. My goal and wish for my clients is that out of pain and despair, comes peace, freedom, and ultimately joy. I feel truly honored to hear people's stories and my desire and motivation to work collaboratively and respectfully with people at their own pace is genuine. With my help as your therapist I will provide a safe healing environment and help you develop a healthier and more rewarding approach to life.

Seeing the change in a client’s life is powerful, and I love being able to play a role in it. When you feel the burden and pressures of life weighing you down, it can be so easy to resort to being hard on yourself. Have you ever wondered what might be possible if the energy you spend in being self-critical could be directed somewhere else? Perhaps you notice you are struggling with a relationship that leaves you feeling stuck. Together, we can build a preferred way of being as we will explore attachment styles, trauma and other aspects of life that may be causing you distress. You matter and your life is worth living.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, as if there aren't enough words to describe everything you’re feeling. Perhaps you’ve noticed that your capacity for day-to-day life just isn’t what it once was. Or maybe you’ve been reflecting on your life experiences and want a place to safely examine the collection of joyful and difficult things you’ve been through. I work with individuals who are seeking to connect more deeply to themselves and others. This often includes helping people to navigate shame, anxiety, negative views of self, relationship challenges, and the impacts of sexual violence and other traumas.
