The following are services which I currently offer:
Clinical Psychotherapy/ Counselling. Professional services geared to your specific issues with the purpose of alleviating psychological pain and distress and improving functioning in your employment, relationships, and personal life.
Couples Psychotherapy/ Counselling. I currently use the Gottman Method for Couples Counselling, an approach based on research on what works and what doesn’t work in relationships. Click here for more information.
Life Coaching: “Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential” (International Coach Federation). It is a supportive, practical, empowering, and collaborative process to intentionally identify clear goals and develop strategies and action plans to achieve them.
Psychological Assessment: a full psychological assessment may be helpful in clarifying your mental health struggles; provide direction and recommendations for treatments and supports required; assist in disability funding (CPP-disability, AISH applications, Alberta Works Income Support, disability tax credit); and assist in legal advocacy. Currently I am only offering psychological assessments for adults.
Psychological consult: a few sessions may be sufficient to help you determine a plan of action to address your or your family’s psychological struggles. I am knowledgeable about various resources and services in Calgary and beyond.
Capacity Assessments: If you have a loved one whom is in need of a capacity assessment to determine legal eligibility to have a court-ordered Co-decision making order or Guardianship order, to have either removed, or to activate a Personal Directive, I am able to do these assessments. I have completed training offered by the Office of the Public Guardian and am eligible as a Psychologist to complete these assessments and the resulting legal forms.
My goal is to help you live the best possible life that you can by coping well with the parts of your life you can’t change, effectively changing the parts that you can, and—with optimal awareness and insight—knowing the difference, so that your efforts are devoted in the most effective ways.
I believe that all people have value and worth, no matter who you are. I believe that, just as a plant will flourish if giving the proper conditions—sunlight, water, nutrients—so also every person will flourish when they receive the necessary and sufficient conditions for psychological well-being which include genuine understanding, care, and acceptance.
