Therapists in T6E

There are times when we feel like we are looking for something. Something is missing in ourselves; in our lives. We feel alone in our problems. We feel like we're not enough. We want to show who we really are but we're afraid. Finding a way through starts with being curious about ourselves; about others; about life. We can feel fully present in our lives when we tune in to our own attachment needs and those of the people we love. Two Psychologists, Brea Malacad and Paul Berg, have created this new private practice in Edmonton emphasizing this need for connection and attachment.

We all have different life stories where losses, pain, struggles and setbacks paint part of our story plots. Our life stories say more than the fact of what happened, they speak to us who we are, who we can be and guide our future as we make sense of our life experiences. When we get stuck in our life, we sometimes need a safe place and a reliable person to hear and to understand us as we work our way out of the dark tunnel. We can feel validated and accompanied in this collaboration that fosters an honest and open dialogue. I do hope to be your companion on your healing journey.

In life we are faced with challenges we don't expect and there are times when we are left wondering how to move forward. I believe everyone has the strengths required to overcome these challenges, and therapy can be the key to unlocking and utilizing them. I have a passion for working with athletes and first responders, as well as anyone looking to work through the puzzle of their life. I welcome bookings from all backgrounds and experiences, and I work with adults, adolescents, groups, teams, and organizations in a collaborative way towards shared goals and outcomes.

I take a holistic approach to practice, considering how our mind, emotions, body and spirit come together to frame our relationship to the world. I believe mental health to be not only the removal of challenges, but the creation of an active sense of well-being. So, in sessions together, I seek to focus not only on difficulties, but to consider what could be done to increase your resilience and sense of well-being. How we define health can vary widely, and some paths I tend to take focus on gratitude, mindfulness, self-compassion and vulnerability.

I am a doctoral psychologist and have worked with a range of clients across medical, oncological, psychiatric, and counselling settings. I specialize in cancer and chronic illness, trauma, grief and loss, existential issues (e.g. purpose, angst, self-actualization), palliative care, depression, anxiety, life transitions, psychospiritual development, and psychedelic therapy/integration. My approach is integrative, drawing from existential, humanistic, Jungian, ACT, schema, CBT, experiential, narrative, IFS, and transpersonal therapies.

Understanding the basis for a behaviour is important in identifying why that behaviour persists. Basically, looking at concerning behaviours through the lens of "Is this behaviour currently solving another problem? Or what problem has is solved before?" Then, using a blend of CBT techniques integrated in the solution focused lens to we adjust the behaviour.

Are you feeling lost? Disconnected? Do enjoy working with dreams, art, or other creative means to gain a greater understanding of who you are? I work with clients to creatively heal, grow, and find meaning in their lives. I work from a Jungian oriented perspective.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that healing occurs within a safe and trusting relationship, whether with oneself, one’s environment, or another person. I also believe that every client is an expert in their own experience. I, therefore, approach therapy from a strength-based perspective, aiming to build relationships with clients, understand their needs, help them set goals that align with their unique needs and personal strengths, and explore available solutions that lead us toward these therapeutic goals. As a Metis therapist, I am also particularly sensitive to the needs of Indigenous people.

My greatest passion is to bring healing and foster resilience to people who have been through a traumatic or stressful experience.

Currently I see individuals 18 years to 80 years old.

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 provide one-to-one counselling for youth and for adults, couples counselling and parenting education/supports. I also provide Neurofeedback Training/Therapy, for children, teens and adults. I offer a wide variety of Professional Development Trainings (CEC approved) for agencies/staff; and community-based workshops and Therapy Support Groups for the public. My passion is to empower people as they face challenges and grow as individuals - as they address the issues in their lives that might be holding them back from the happiness and contentment they wish to experience.
