Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Calgary

IN A NUTSHELL

I’m a Registered Psychologist in Calgary, AB. I aim to help you untangle emotional and psychological knots and enhance your ability to make profound shifts in your life. My approach is integrative and evidence-based. I integrate Buddhist psychology with contemporary psychotherapy, using a variety of cognitive, emotional, mindfulness and somatic practices. We explore what it means to be human-warts and all- and how to cultivate understanding, awareness, vitality, flexibility, and choice.

I understand that life is difficult. The struggle painful.

I believe that no matter how lost you are, a fuller, richer life is possible. I am here to provide support and guidance that helps you move beyond your struggle and towards freedom to feel fully alive.

I offer in-person sessions in my Calgary office, or on-line sessions for your convenience.

HOW I SERVE

We all struggle sometimes. Being human is complicated. Pain and disappointment are inevitable and at the heart of of human experience. Suffering is optional. It is often the resistance to our pain that creates our suffering.

I invite you to explore and embrace your inner depths.

My aim is to help you quiet your mind, free yourself from the painful past and fearful future, understand and use your emotions without being overwhelmed by them, and help you make choices that are aligned with the deepest truth of who you really are.

MY APPROACH

I believe that authentic happiness is skill that can be learned. I provide practical tools and strategies that you can use in your everyday life and apply to any struggles you are facing-to your relationships, your family, your personal growth and development, and your workplace.

The work is simple, not easy. It requires commitment, effort, and active participation on your part. I accept you as you are. I meet you where you’re at. In this very moment. My goal is to offer you a personalized approach tailored to your needs.

WHO I SERVE

I work with a wide range of psychological and emotional issues, including depression, anxiety, stress, phobias, eating disorders and trauma. I am trained in evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I am available for appointments in person or via teletherapy.

I welcome whatever you bring to our sessions: anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, relationship issues, break-ups, personality difficulties, trauma, self-esteem issues, body-image issues, and so on. I provide short-term intensive and/or longer-term therapy to individual adults and adolescents. I welcome clients from all backgrounds, cultures and walks of life with acceptance and regard for their individual values and beliefs.
