Individual Sessions

Ever since I can remember, I knew that I wanted to find a career that would make a difference in people’s lives. This interest led me on the journey to complete my Masters of Counselling. As a Registered Psychologist I feel that it is an absolute honour to sit with clients and hold space while their healing process unfolds. 

​

As a therapist I am collaborative, genuine, and gentle. My work is centered around my training in Hakomi, a mindfulness-based somatic therapy. My other therapeutic orientations include trauma-focused therapy, attachment work, ACT, and ecotherapy. 

​

Through connection, I believe healing occurs, as you are able to feel truly seen, heard and understood by another person. I strive to create a safe, trusting relationship where you feel comfortable to explore your inner world and work through the thoughts, beliefs, patterns and unhealed wounds that may be acting as barriers to the life you desire. As the expert of your experiences, you bring inherent knowledge of what is needed for you to grow and heal. Your wisdom and my knowledge of therapy allow us to work collaboratively to achieve your goals.

Hello there, I am so glad to meet you! I understand the challenge in reaching out

to begin therapy and I honour your bravery in taking this step. My areas of focus include individuals, couples, and young adults, with a therapeutic focus on life
transitions/change, loss, emotional well-being, and trauma. You can expect a warm, accepting, and approachable environment, and it is my aim to work alongside you as a guide through therapy. 
 
With individuals and young adults, I utilize Attachment-Based, Parts Work, and EFT
(Emotionally Focused Therapy) approaches. With couples I utilize an EFT for Couples therapeutic approach as I am on my way to being a certified EFT counsellor. Across my entire practice I utilize and hold a trauma focused therapeutic lens and practice.
 
If you have any questions or would like to book a session, please follow the link below. I look forward to starting this journey with you!

It's in our nature to need connection and belonging.

 

When we are in an intimate relationship, sometimes we fight, get discouraged and feel hopeless. We may feel lost and misunderstood. In our couple work, I will help you see the negative cycle that couples enter when they fight, identify the emotional needs and bring
understanding and new patterns of communication that will bring satisfaction in
your couple. During our individual journey of life, we experience challenges, negative events, losses and anxiety which can make us unhappy.

 

Through our collaborative work, I will accompany and support you in finding connection and purpose. I believe in helping couples and individuals find their inner strengths and resources in order to create the life they truly want. Together we will define a meaningful life, which will guide you in overcoming your challenges. You will learn to live in the present, a powerful step since changing the present allows us to heal the past and define the future.

Being collaborative, non-judgmental and creating a trusting relationship are the key elements to the success of our work together. Change is difficult, but I hope that you choose to give yourself the gift of choosing what you want for yourself and your relationship.

I offer services In English and French. I also speak Portuguese and Spanish.

I am truly grateful to have found a career that embodies my passion for witnessing and supporting individuals in their healing process. I have been honored to journey alongside individuals into a place of greater peace, meaning, connection, and freedom and would be excited to begin this journey with you! 

​

As a therapist, you can expect me to meet you with compassion, warmth, humor when appropriate, and a desire to deeply understand and adapt our work to be most helpful to you. I believe counselling is a collaborative process where your knowledge, needs, preferences, and expertise on you are welcomed and important every step of the way. With this collaborative approach in mind, my role will include incorporating empirically validated interventions tailored to shift thoughts, emotions, and patterns that are barriers to your wellness at the pace and depth that feels right for you. While I have experience working with a variety of mental health challenges, I'm most experienced working with challenges related to family of origin experiences, abuse, trauma (including sexual violence), relational ruptures, & loss. The impacts of these challenge can include shame & self-criticism, guilt, anxiety, depression, overwhelming or muted emotion, over-working, body image and boundary challenges, and more. I work from a somatic and anti-oppressive informed lens while incorporating my extensive training in Emotion Focused Therapy, an empirically validated therapeutic approach, that equips me to support you through the impacts of your difficult experiences.

Meet Todd, a dedicated therapist who is passionate about helping people improve their
mental health and overall well-being. Todd brings a lighthearted and humorous approach to his
practice that helps people feel at ease. With his knowledge of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Hypnosis, and other therapeutic approaches, Todd can help you navigate through difficult emotions, improve your relationships, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and learn
practical strategies for managing life's challenges. His aim is to empower you to make positive changes, build resilience, and live a life filled with more purpose and fulfillment.

 

Todd also offers Rock Climbing Therapy (individual and group), a unique approach that
combines the physical and mental challenges of climbing to promote personal growth and
wellbeing. This innovative therapy can help with anxiety, depression, confidence, motivation
ADHD and more.

 

If you're facing anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, or feeling stuck in life,
know that you're not alone. With the right approach, a better future is within reach!

As a lifelong learner, I'm a believer that open mindedness and being at the edge of our comfort zone allows us to acheive the most growth. As a longtime educator, I believe that when we nurture a growth mindset, everyone is capable of achieving more.
 

My objective in our group experiences and retreats is to excite and engage you in the growth process. By exploring the goal setting process and some of the obstacles in the way, we'll develop plans to weather the storms, and explore skills and strategies surrounding mental hygiene that can help keep you growing optimally.

Hello! I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist working in Alberta. I enjoy working with adults regarding various issues such as anxiety, depression, boundaries, concerns related to race and ethnicity, trauma, relationship concerns, difficult childhoods, shame, and self-compassion. The majority of my clinical experience has been with adults who have been impacted by trauma from sexualized violence.

 

Life can be challenging; we may experience trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, or significant life changes. I believe the ways we learn to manage or cope with these challenges are all valid and important – as they help us survive difficult moments. However, if you find these coping tools are no longer working for you and would like to learn alternative tools to support your healing journey, therapy may be an option.

 

Therapy will not solve all of our problems, but it will help us manage life more effectively. I believe that although we cannot always escape the challenges life throws at us, we can learn to ride out the challenges – similar to watching the waves rolling onto the shore. The waves will be constant, but we can learn different tools to help us float in the water, so the waves can feel less intense.

 

In order to do this, I believe that a strong relationship with your therapist is the most important tool to get started. I will meet you in our sessions with warmth, humour, and empathy in order to build a safe connection to be able to dive into difficult conversations. I ensure my approach fits your individual needs by pulling techniques from various theories, such as mindful body-based psychotherapy, attachment-focused therapy, narrative therapy, feminist therapy, and eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).

 

I recognize the difficulty in reaching out to begin therapy and honour the bravery in taking this step. If you choose to work with me, together we will explore your story and grow towards your identified goals. I look forward to working with you!

Helping people to navigate life's complexities, reconnect with meaning, and find language
for their experiences are passions for Kristi-Anna. She is sincere in her interactions, down-
to-earth, and a careful listener. Areas she often works with include navigating change, loss,
and making sense of the past and present. She also helps clients who are contemplating
whether or not to remain in present situations, including relationships, jobs, or educational
trajectories, where people can sometimes feel stuck, constricted, or on auto-pilot. Her
approach is humanistic, trauma-informed, and non-pathologizing.

​

Her training and professional experiences in hospital, intensive care, cancer care, rural
medicine, and inpatient mental health settings have helped her to understand and
appreciate the interconnection between the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual
aspects of people.

Kristi-Anna has taken additional graduate coursework to better understand trauma from
neurobiological, psychological, and cultural (including Indigenous) perspectives. She is
registered as a psychologist and nurse in Alberta.

Away on maternity leave until September 2023.

​

I accomplished my dream of completing my master’s in counselling at McGill University; and I have had the opportunity to work with clients from all ages, different life stages, and from a multiplicity of countries in the world. I can provide therapy in English, French and Spanish which facilitates therapeutic processes, and I am fully comfortable working online as well as in person.

​

I am passionate about what I do, and it would be a pleasure for me to accompany you in your journey. I work from a holistic, integrative, client-centered, strengths based perspective, as well as evidence-based practices. This means that I will try my best to find practices that accommodate to your needs that are based on psychological research. Amongst the evidence based approaches that I use CBT, Emotion Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Trauma informed practices, art therapy and somatic therapy amongst others.

​

I have worked with clients through anxiety, depression, self-harm, stress, self-esteem, loneliness, homesickness, separation, self-development, ADHD, divorce, parenting, bullying, grief, workplace challenges, trauma, OCD, anorexia, depersonalization symptoms amongst others. As a therapist I put clients at the center of my practices and the therapeutic relationship that I build with them. I hope we can work together, and that we can figure out the best possible pathways for you!
