We provide counselling sessions for children, youth, adults, couples and families with a variety of life challenges including relationship concerns, PTSD/trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, anger, and more.
We recognize that seeking support isn’t always easy. We strive to build the most supportive, empathetic, judgement free environment possible so you can work on the things that you are concerned about.
If you are walking through a difficult time, you don’t have to do it alone. We will walk beside you as you wrestle with how to make sense of your life or what to do next. We are here to talk things through and share ideas and strategies to help you make the changes you want to make, whether big or small.
Our Calgary-based Psychologists, Therapists and Counsellors include:
Creating an environment that is honest, safe, and empathetic is of utmost importance to me. A space like that provides the basis for a trusting therapeutic relationship. Keeping this in mind, my approach is that of a collaborative experience, which centres your story outside of stigma and judgement.
My goal as a therapist is to walk with you in times of chaos, and provide support in a way that builds you up to face life’s challenges. As a therapist, I strive to build the most supportive, compassionate, and judgement-free environment possible. I like to work together during our sessions and incorporate any feedback, in order to build a strong foundation of trust between us. Therefore, the therapeutic direction we take is dependent on what encourages the healing process.
I also recognize that culture, and/or faith may have an important role in your life. As such, I welcome you to bring it in our sessions, as you see fit.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and my cat, Mani (he is a nine year old ragdoll). I love reading (mostly fiction with the occasional non-fiction psychology book). I also love hiking and taking pictures of the mountains and trees (although I’m not a professional photographer by any means). Chocolate anything is my favourite kind of dessert! My favourite movie/tv show genre is horror and sci-fi and my ultimate favourite movie is Interstellar! I have a special place in my heart for astronomy! All things science really fasci……..

Hello, I am Karlynn. I have over a decade of experience as a therapist. My career journey has taken me on many paths, including working in a number of non-for-profits, schools and alongside pediatricians and physicians. My greatest desire is that you feel heard and supported.
My priority is to provide a warm and welcome space. I use a collaborative and integrative approach, using elements of a number of therapeutic modalities. I want to build on existing strengths while creating a plan to help you reach your goals.
Born in Calgary, I have been a world traveller and love to see new places. I enjoy reading books, training Bonsai trees (a skill I learned growing up in Japan), paddle boarding and spending time with my three young adult, adopted daughters.

Hi, my name is Andrew, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I am passionate about supporting mental health and reducing the stigma that surrounds it. I believe in developing meaningful therapeutic relationships that include compassion and creativity as core components.
My goal as a counsellor is to make you feel heard and acknowledged, and empower you to be an active collaborator in our sessions. I utilize an intentionally integrative approach to therapy, and value feedback and input from clients throughout the process. I will work with you to create space in which you feel able to be vulnerable, and I am here to support you with the challenges you are experiencing and the changes you desire to make.
In my personal life I enjoy spending time outdoors as much as I can, including activities such as hiking, paddleboarding, and snowshoeing. Other hobbies include spending time with dog, attempting to improve my cooking skills, and dabbling in video games.

Hi, I’m Anita. I am a registered psychologist with over a decade of experience. I know life is full of highs and lows and have experienced many of the agonies that you also may be experiencing: feeling lost and alone in the world, dealing with unspoken family traumas, questioning whether my marriage could survive, sitting at the bedside of a dying loved one, and sleepless nights when I wondered how I would get my children to adulthood. I believe my professional and personal experience equips me to support your through the challenges you are facing. If you are struggling, I want to help.
My goal as a counsellor is to create a safe, comfortable space for you to work through whatever you are going through. I believe we all have the capacity to grow and change. I use a feedback informed, integrative approach to support you in making the changes you desire.
When I am not working, my favorite thing to do is spend time with my husband, 3 adult children, and my dogs. I love camping, travelling, yoga, puttering in my yard, reading a good book, or spending time among the trees. I believe balance is the key to a fulfilled life, so I am working hard to find that!

Hello, my name is Jess. I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I am committed to providing a compassionate, empathetic space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours while helping them navigate life’s challenges. I take a strength-based, holistic approach to therapy, as I recognize the delicate interplay of emotional, psychological, and social factors in each individual’s journey. I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client, and I am dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to gain insights, develop coping strategies, and to foster meaningful change.
After 12 years as a teacher, I decided to switch careers because I wanted to do more than what the educational system could support. After spending some time working in the field of addictions and mental health, I decided to pursue training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). In my opinion, DBT is a life-changing treatment modality that can be taught and used by individuals of all ages. It was through this training experience that I discovered how much I enjoyed working with eating disorders, borderline personality disorder, trauma, and other comorbid conditions.
Outside work, I enjoy camping in the back of my vehicle, coaching gymnastics, watching movies, and practicing yoga. I also have a Bengal cat named Mynka, who is entertaining to watch! She is very chatty, loves water, and attacks anything that moves – including me!
