I’m a caring and authentic Psychologist in Northwest Calgary. My goal is to provide all of my clients with a comfortable therapy experience that supports growth, hope and change through authenticity, respect and acceptance.  I want to help you uncover your true potential and lead a meaningful, positive and productive life.  I’m fully registered and in good standing as a professional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists.  I’m also a member in good standing of the Psychologist’s Association of Alberta

While we can’t change any difficult situations from your past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life today!  By helping you learn and apply complementary approaches and techniques, we will work together to discover any long-standing, troublesome behaviour patterns or negative self-perceptions that may be holding you back in your life.  That’s really the key to improving our lives… how do we explore and fins out the perceptions, behaviours and habits that keep us from contentment and happiness?

When anxiety, stress, or depressive painful thoughts take over, it can be hard to make room for the life you want. Therapy can help you respond to those experiences differently—not by forcing them away, but by building skills to handle them and take steps toward what matters to you.

As a caring and authentic Psychologist in Calgary, I endeavour to be authentic, caring and interactive with my clients. I have a Trauma-Informed Practice and I use the principles and proven methods of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). 

I also use the “Depth Psychology” approach of Existential Therapy.   Existential Therapists believe that while it’s important to identify and try to change the symptoms that come with mental illness, life issues, addictions, relationship issues, and other psychological dilemmas — we also need to go deeper — addressing how a person defines and understands meaning, relationships, purpose, and a life well lived.    

Living a Life That Matters

If you are here, you might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed by your thoughts, or exhausted from the constant battle to “feel better” or “get rid of” anxiety and sadness.   Many of us are taught that the goal of mental health is to eliminate difficult emotions. But the harder we fight against our internal struggles, the more power they seem to have over us.

This is where another method I use can be super helpful.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) offers a different path.   Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help you find a steadier way forward and help you live with more clarity, flexibility, and purpose.  ACT is an evidence-based approach that helps people develop psychological flexibility and take values-guided action.  Here is a great link to what ACT is all about:  https://www.actmindfully.com.au/about-act/

 

I am also a neurodivergent therapist who strives to provide a neurodiversity-affirming, inclusive therapy practice which welcomes autistic people, ADHD people,  highly sensitive people, people with neurodiversity trauma issues,  learning disabilities and all types of neurodiversity.

I can’t guarantee we can quickly solve all of your life problems and difficulties, but we can certainly work together on exploring and improving the roadblocks and obstacles that might be holding you back from living an authentic and more positive life.
