INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING

Have you ever felt something in your body and could not understand it?
Have you ever felt that you had no control over your emotions, thoughts, and actions towards yourself and others?
Are there difficulties managing work-life demands?
Are there concerns about your relationships?
Are you experiencing challenges managing grief and loss?

If these are some of your questions, it would be an honour to provide you with counselling support.

INFORMATION ABOUT MYSELF
I am a Registered Psychologist who provides individual counselling to adults, in the areas of work-life stress, trauma, difficulties managing emotions and troubling thoughts, body concerns, identity, relationship problems, communication difficulties, guilt-shame, grief, and perfectionism. In 2020, I earned a Master of Education degree in the Counselling Psychology program at the University of Alberta. I am presently a Ph.D. candidate in the accredited Counselling Psychology program at the University of Alberta, and I'm completing a portion of my residency at Mindspring under the supervision of Dr. Jake Tremblay, R. Psych. Before becoming a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists, I worked as a teacher with Edmonton Public Schools. I was born and raised in Edmonton. Additionally, I have provided individual counselling at the Cross Cancer Institute Westmount, Clinical Services at the University of Alberta, and at a community mental health clinic.

MY APPROACH TO COUNSELLING
In counselling sessions, I start with a person-centered approach, which involves collaboration, goal setting, empathic understanding, and attention to process and the therapeutic relationship. Depending on your goals and views, I apply an emotion-focused approach to counselling sessions which can include exploration and integration of your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, physical responses, and meanings associated with yourself, an event, people, or an important topic in your life. Alternatively, I use an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach to counselling which helps develop psychological flexibility, understanding of values, commitment to action, mindfulness, and acceptance-reconciliation of experiences. When fitting, I incorporate hope research and interventions that are trauma- and multicultural-informed.
