Child Therapists in Calgary, AB
I have additional training in the areas of trauma (EMDR) and directive and non-directive play therapy in my work with empowering children.
My goal is to connect with you in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. I work collaboratively with my clients towards finding relief and life changing solutions, recognizing that people have power and strength within them. Whether it's problematic relationships, parenting support, stress, family dynamics, mental health issues or trauma that is impacting your life, I have seen over and over that change can happen. I offer a warm approach to therapy and welcome any struggle, small or large. Although I work with a variety of adult clients I am known for easily connecting with children and adolescents.

For children and adults who have experienced various types of trauma, I use a combination of trauma-informed art and symbolic play, Attachment-focused EMDR, solution -focused therapy, as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as needed.

This includes forms of dissociative disorder. I also work with clients who are experiencing depression and anxiety.

Along with helping clients with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, and other mental health challenges, much of our therapy work falls into 1 of 5 areas: • Child, Adolescent, Teen, and Parenting Support • Adult Issues & Mental Health • Relationship Health • Career transition and work-related counselling • Separation and Divorce.
Let's face it, life can feel unbearable at times and relationships are emotionally stirring. If this is your first time working with a psychologist or not, this is likely not a high moment for you if you're reading this. Rarely do clients start a session with, "I feel really good. My life is great! Things couldn't be better!" The reality is you're struggling, in pain, things are not going well for you or someone you care about, and we have entered the picture somewhere along the way. That you trust us or anyone else enough to connect with you in that struggle is tough to do, and a responsibility we do not take lightly.

I use play, sand tray, expressive arts and parent/ child attachment therapies interweaved with EMDR.
Parenting is the most invested relationship one can partake in. There are many tasks and challenges involved in guiding little people towards becoming adults. Life can force families to face events that impact children's ability to feel safe and function successfully. This is when it becomes key to incorporate "it takes a whole community to raise a child", and I believe that people do the best they can with what they know. I have dedicated 23 years to helping children express their needs. And I can help increase your "knowing" so that we can enrich your child's relationships and increase their tolerance for the difficult stuff

Through the assessment process I strive to help parents understand their child's individual strengths and challenges.
I am a registered child psychologist specializing in helping toddlers, young children (up to age 12), and their families with common emotional, cognitive, and behavioural difficulties. I provide assessment and treatment tailored to meet the specific needs of each child and family. Because young children depend so heavily on those around them to address their developmental needs and challenges, I collaborate closely with parents. The parent- child relationship often provides the best opportunity for effective intervention. I provide a respectful and caring environment for parents to understand what their child's behaviour is communicating, what their child needs, and how they can meet those needs.

I use a multifaceted approach to heal trauma, focusing on reclaiming your voice and engaging in social justice.

I have had a great deal of success working with children and their parents for many childhood issues such as behavior problems, ADHD, anxiety and so on.
My background is in systems theory; the idea that everyone is connected to those around them, with influence between all those people, organizations, and cultures. My approach to therapy is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but I also see a need for insight into the meaning that we make/have made of things and how that impacts our present. Therapy then, involves opening space for a person to increase awareness of their own process and to see alternative perspectives, thereby empowered to make different life decisions. It is so exciting to see someone realize that they have the power to change their perspective and their life!
