“Welcome! Having been one of the first in Calgary to be certified in sex addiction therapy, the bulk of my practice consists of individuals and couples in various stages of sex and other addiction recovery. Do you need help in the struggle to remain sober? Would you benefit from guidance in the formulation and maintenance of an effective recovery plan? Do you need a compassionate listener as you make sense of the trauma of discovery? My goal is to promote awareness of your emotional life; to help you establish and negotiate appropriate boundaries; and to enhance trust in all your relationships.”

“Accessing over 15 years of education and experience I provide counselling services to children, adolescents, couples, families and individuals. Some of the areas I have experience in include relational issues, addictions (impact on family members), anxiety, anger management, depression, parenting, grief and loss, stress, school problems, life transitions, workplace stress, separation and divorce, personal growth, self-esteem, co-dependency, and trauma. Each person’s experience is unique and I value working collaboratively with each person to create meaningful therapeutic goals. Through empathy and understanding I support people to discover what they need in order to take the first small step towards healing, change, and growth.”

My passion is to help clients regain balance and move forward with their lives. I can address the following issues with you: depression and anxiety, poor sleep, grief/loss, alcohol or drug abuse, stress, workplace issues, relationship problems, life transitions (e.g., job loss, moving, retirement), chronic health problems, traumatic events, low self-esteem, procrastination, aging, marital difficulties, parenting, affairs. Although you may be currently struggling, it takes courage to seek help.”

“You want to live a meaningful life where you have strong and healthy relationships with yourself and others, but have found that something has gotten in the way of that. It may have been experiencing trauma as a child or adult, suffering a loss, or other difficult life experience. Whether you struggle with feelings of hurt and pain, have difficulty recognizing your own self-worth, struggle to feel a sense of connection with self or others, or feel overwhelmed and stuck in your life, my aim is to help you take steps toward living a more authentic and fulfilling life.”

“I am a clinical psychologist in Calgary, and provide individual, family, as well as group therapy. I also provide comprehensive psychological assessment services, as well as consultation to parents, schools, health care providers, and other professionals. My experience includes previous and current employment in the health care and educational sectors, including hospital and community settings. I typically practice from a cognitive-behavioural therapy model, and use a brief, solution focused approach to therapy. My work with couples and families tends to be more emotionally focused, attachment based, and I use a family systems approach.”

“When you find yourself struggling to live the life you want because of depression, tension, addiction or pain, you can reach me to find a better way. When you feel that you are living one life on the outside and another on the intside, you can reach me to find ways to connect the two. When you notice that you are living according to others’ expectations, you can reach me to engage your authenticity. I will support you as you heal those parts of you that are hurt and and help you re-unite with the wisdom of your inner experiences.”

“It is my belief that people have the strengths and abilities to navigate through life’s challenges. The question is, “How do you use what you already have to meet life’s challenges?” I work with individuals, groups, families, teams, and organizations collaboratively towards shared goals and outcomes that are rooted in evidence-based practices. Sessions are interactive, transparent, and optimistic. An eclectic approach rooted in Individual Psychology and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers the versatility for a culturally sensitive, non-judgmental, and an efficient working relationship. “

“Hello! Thank you for perusing my profile. I am a registered psychologist with close to 20 years of clinical experience. I am dedicated to supporting people through difficult times and circumstances. I have an open, non-judgemental demeanour and pride myself in my understating of and passion for diversity. My areas of clinical expertise include anxiety, depression, grief, mindfulness, relationship difficulties, identity challenges, career orientation, work-related stress, and anger management, to name but a few examples. I provide services, in English and in French, to youth as well as adults. “

“I think everyone should have a therapist. I realize how self-serving that sounds, but if we see a medical doctor on a regular basis (yes, you should do that too!) for our physical health, why wouldn’t we have someone in our pocket for mental health as well? If there is a stigma around mental health, there is stigma of having a therapist as well. I regularly meet with people that have never accessed a mental health professional and after one session you can see the anxiety leave them as I help take away those social pressures and instead focus on you, that’s what I want, to be team YOU!”

“Is life overwhelming? Do your dreams seem beyond reach? There is hope!

Don’t let yourself be defined by grief, loneliness, pain, depression, or anxiety. Let me help you to discover that life can be manageable again.”

“I offer culturally sensitive counseling both in English and Spanish. I believe that understanding someone’s culture and world-view is a key element in the therapeutic work. For over 20 years, I have helped clients from different cultural backgrounds suffering from depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and trauma. I work with adults, couples and families facing life crisis such as divorce, relationship problems, parenting issues, grief, career change, health concerns, abuse, etc. I can work with you to help you process challenging present and past experiences to facilitate your journey towards personal healing and growth.”

“Sometimes the challenges we face in our daily lives become too difficult to manage alone. We may need someone to talk to who can help us find solutions. Whether you are struggling with depression, stress management, are having difficulty in your current relationship, have issues from your past which are having a negative impact on your current functioning, or whether you are looking for someone to help support you in making positive changes in your life, I can help. With over seven years of clinical experience, I can help tailor a therapy program designed to meet your personal/family’s counselling needs.”

“Are you feeling more and more resentful, conflicted, and stressed with your child, partner, or family? Do you feel “gridlocked” in a cycle of screaming, yelling, and guilt at home? I am a registered psychologist with over seven years of clinical experience working with these types of issues. My ideal clients are seeking therapy that is collaborative and individualized, with a focus on building a strong client-therapist relationship. Our work together begins with a commitment to developing a safe environment where both you and I embrace the need to change as well as accept difficult challenges, experiences, and emotions.”

“Relationships and marriages are rarely smooth and without issue. Despite loving one another, we become confused about how relating became so difficult. Concerns become overwhelming, resulting in pain, excessive fighting, distance, feeling lonely, and blaming each other. Counseling can help each of you be heard, gain clarity, and find a direction forward. You can learn about your triggers, how they affect the relationship, and how to work through them. As a relational specialist, I work with you to see your disconnects and strengths – and also provide you with tools for communication and conflict resolution for future long-term sustainability.”

And to put a creative spin on things, Art Therapy can be made available to anyone who is interested!!! “
