(She/Her/Hers)
Registered Psychologist
I have a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Alberta and am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I use a client-centered approach to therapy with the goal of helping people explore their sense of ‘self’ and the development of the ‘self’. The ‘self’ changes over time and can be difficult to consolidate with emotions, experiences, and trauma. Said another way, I hope to invite questions such as ‘who am I?’, ‘what happened?’, ‘have I changed, or do I need to?’, and ‘is change possible?’. I hope to provide an honest and safe space, fostering courage for you to navigate life and create the life you want.
Using an integrative, client-centered approach, I combine elements of Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and other therapeutic models to formulate an approach on a person-by-person basis.
I have experience working with individuals suffering from depression and anxiety, borderline personality disorder and emotion dysregulation; parents of neurodiverse children; young adults and adults navigating life transitions; those experiencing grief; and couples who desire to strengthen their relationship.
One of my areas of interest is working with and providing support to parents and adult family members of those with a disability, disorder, and/or mental health struggles. I believe that those who support loved ones benefit from support too. I am also passionate about education and information - I hope to both educate, and be educated by clients in a way that helps us develop as empathetic and informed individuals.
I would be honoured to work with you.

(She/Her/Hers)
Welcome! I am a Provisional Psychologist passionate about guiding individuals through transformative journeys rooted in holistic well-being. My approach goes beyond addressing symptoms; it’s about embracing the intricate tapestry of your life story within a person-centred integrative framework that considers your mental, physical, emotional, cultural, and spiritual aspects. I believe that true healing begins with embracing the full spectrum of our humanity - imperfections and all.
I have gained extensive experience working in child protection services and with neurodiverse individuals with varying disabilities. I have additional experience in firefighting, family violence, and hospice care. These experiences have deepened my commitment to trauma-informed, harm-reduction practices, and I remain dedicated to maintaining a heart-centred approach in all the work I do.
I specialize in supporting individuals through a range of challenges, including life transitions, teenage difficulties, exploring gender or sexuality, managing substance use, anxiety, depression, living with disabilities, and exploring spiritual or existential concerns. I am particularly passionate about supporting first responders, trauma survivors, and individuals coping with grief and loss. My practice is rooted in allyship, compassion, and respect for every person’s unique experience.
When I’m not working, I enjoy walking my dog in the river valley, staying active with various sports, and spending quality time with my family and animals. At home, I unwind by playing video games, reading, researching psychology, or planning trips with my husband. These personal interests help keep me grounded and connected, which I believe is essential in creating an authentic therapeutic relationship with my clients.
Let’s work together toward your goals, where healing is not just a destination but a way of being. Every step forward you take is a testament to your strength and resilience.

(She/Her/Hers)
Registered Psychologist
I am a Registered Psychologist with a master’s degree in counselling psychology. I am passionate about fostering a safe therapeutic space and meeting clients where they are at. I believe that each client is the expert of their own lives, which is why I like to focus on each client’s inner strengths to collaboratively create meaningful change. My goal is to provide you with a secure base and assist you along your therapeutic journey with a compassionate, culturally competent, and nonjudgmental approach.
I primarily utilize an integrative, person-centered, and humanistic approach to therapy, with experience helping individuals navigate trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and relational or attachment-related challenges. I believe therapy should be personalized to each client’s unique needs and preferences, as there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. In my practice, I draw from a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) skills. In my work with couples, I apply techniques and principles from the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach, to enhance communication and foster stronger, healthier relationships. These approaches allow me to provide personalized support for healing and growth.
I am deeply committed to supporting both individuals and couples on their path to healing and personal growth. Whether you are navigating challenges, pursuing personal growth, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space tailored to meet your individual needs.
I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you on this journey!

Registered Psychologist
I am a Registered Psychologist with a master’s degree in counselling psychology. I am keenly aware of how our individual experiences, environments and circumstances impact each other and influence us. Through a meaningful and collaborative therapeutic relationship, I provide a safe, genuine and warm environment for individuals to create change in their lives.
I have experience working with diverse people of all backgrounds. I have worked individually with adolescents and adults in areas of depression and mood, anxiety and overwhelm, relationship concerns, self-esteem, gender identity/dysphoria, sexual orientation, grief/loss, suicidal ideation, life transitions, and boundaries. I am particularly interested in working with individuals in the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing population, I have intimate knowledge of the culture and can provide services in ASL.
I use a person-centred, integrative approach, drawing from different psychological theories and counselling models to better suit the goals, needs, and preferences of my clients. This includes Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment Theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I also utilize skill from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and strength-based solution-focused questioning.
I believe all individuals have an inherent ability to create change, and it takes courage to reach out for support. If you feel I may suit your needs, I encourage you to reach out to discuss if I might be a good fit to support the change you are searching for.

(He/Him/His)
Registered Psychologist
I am a Registered Provisional psychologist with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Alberta. My approach to therapy emphasizes the importance of confronting our painful emotions and experiences from a place of safety, curiosity, and honesty. My hope is that by approaching therapy in this way, you will have the opportunity to develop your individual strengths and foster personal growth. Although therapy can be a terrifying prospect for many, my goal is to provide you with a safe haven where you can explore your struggles without fear of being judged or rejected.
I rely on an integrative approach to therapy that combines elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness based approaches, and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT). I also have training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). I work with clients around a number of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, anger management, self-esteem and self-worth, stress management, marital distress, communication concerns, and substance abuse. I also provide skills training in the areas of distress tolerance, emotion regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. Ultimately, I believe that evidenced based practices used in concert with an environment that promotes safety, acceptance, collaboration, and support is crucial for therapeutic success.
I work with individuals and couples as well as teens and youth. I also have a special interest in working with men. I believe that men are often under resourced when it comes to accessing, expressing, and understanding their emotions, often leading to painful, yet avoidable, experiences. As a former oilfield tradesman, I routinely witnessed firsthand the impact that emotional restriction and social conditioning has on many men. Lastly, I am also passionate about working with couples who are experiencing distress within their relationship and who are looking to strengthen the quality of their bond with each other. The pursuit of love is of the highest magnitude and something that I hold dearly. I will strive to facilitate a deeper level of connection and understanding between you and your partner and will work to help you to develop the necessary skills to find and maintain peace and love within your relationship. I welcome the chance to work with you. See you soon!

MSc., Registered Provisional Psychologist
I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Calgary. My practice experience includes working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship concerns, and career exploration. I also have particular interests in the areas of challenges with cultural gaps and conflicts, navigating a bicultural identity, and men’s mental health. My approach to counselling draws from my training and experience with modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and somatic body-mind therapies. I believe that all individuals are capable of healing, overcoming challenges, and achieving their therapeutic goals. I see therapy as a nonjudgmental space for collaborative self-exploration, solution-finding, processing emotions, learning new skills, and personal growth. Whatever concern you bring, it is important to me to get to know you as a person and about what has brought you to therapy. In our first session(s), you can expect to have an opportunity to share about your concerns, collaboratively identify what you would like to be different for you by coming to therapy, and decide on how you might like to get there together. Overall, it is my hope to know and honor your life story and whatever you have to bring to therapy with care, empathy, and authenticity.

Ellen Klaver Registered Psychologist
I am a Registered Psychologist completing the final year of my PhD in counselling psychology at the University of Alberta.
My passion is in the assessment and treatment of conditions rooted in emotion dysregulation including eating disorders, borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, and insomnia in adolescents and adults. I received intensive training in assessment and evidence-based therapies, including Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
While your therapist’s formal training is important, so is their ability to connect with you as a person. I believe in being as authentic as possible in therapy. I know that being part of a client’s healing process is a privilege and I work to respect this privilege by providing a warm, caring, and collaborative environment. Creating a nonjudgmental space also allows room to explore and make sense of your emotions, thoughts, bodily sensations, and behaviours.
Therapy is constantly evolving with new research techniques being used to better understand and treat mental health conditions. I stay up to date with these improvements through additional training and connecting with other experts in the field to publish research on eating and sleeping, borderline personality disorder, emerging adulthood, and forensic psychology.
My PhD research focuses on tailoring an evidence-based treatment for insomnia to eating disorder populations. The aim is to focus treatment on the unique needs of each individual on a case-by-case basis, with the ultimate goal of improving treatment outcomes and reducing eating disorder relapse.

Ashley Schofield Registered Provisional Psychologist
I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with a Masters Degree in Counselling through City University of Seattle in Canada where my capstone topic was how couples support each other as they grieve perinatal loss.
I believe people desire to grow, and talking with a supportive clinician helps them to process thoughts and feelings. This in turn helps clients to gain new insights, perspectives, and understandings, leading to a healthier mental/emotional existence. When individuals get sidetracked by life’s challenges, those challenges need not be faced alone. I an ally to the LGBTQ2S+ community, and seek an empathetic and non-judgmental understanding to all of my client’s situation to collaboratively inspire hope and gain tools needed to move forward. I believe helping clients reduce their negative self-talk and challenging thoughts and feelings can enable them to achieve their goals and live a life that reflects their values.
I provide treatment for individuals, families, and couples from ages 12 to 65+ with issues presenting in, but not limited to anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem and identity, boundaries, conflict resolution, depression, anger, emotional regulation, life transitions, and self-compassion.
I specialize in couples with issues in relationship and parenting. Whether someone is newly pregnant, has recently welcomed a little one, or is suffering from adversity in growing their family whether through loss or infertility, I can affirm how they feel in these overwhelming experiences, and provide strategies to help face the “hard stuff” of parenthood. Couples may especially benefit with finding ways to increase communication and intimacy in their relationships as they now take on the roles of both partners and parents.
My integrative therapeutic approach is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Existential Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method.
