Teen Counselling
Adolescence can bring significant emotional, social, academic, and family challenges. I have extensive experience working with teens and provide a supportive environment where they can talk openly while developing practical skills to manage what they’re going through. Teen counselling may help with anxiety, mood concerns, emotional regulation, relationships, school stress, self-esteem, family conflict, and other challenges.
Trauma & EMDR Therapy
Past experiences can continue to affect how we feel, think, and respond long after the original situation has ended. EMDR therapy can help people process distressing experiences and reduce the emotional intensity connected to painful memories, beliefs, and triggers. I provide trauma-informed counselling and EMDR therapy for adults and teens.
Counselling Services in Edmonton
Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don’t have to navigate everything on your own. At Rising Within Counselling, I provide compassionate, practical counselling for teens, adults, and couples in Edmonton and throughout Alberta. My approach is collaborative and individualized. Rather than using the same approach with everyone, I draw from evidence-based therapies including EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and attachment-focused and trauma-informed approaches.
Individual Counselling
Individual counselling can provide a supportive space to better understand what you’re experiencing, develop new coping strategies, work through difficult experiences, and create meaningful change. I work with adults experiencing concerns such as :
-
Anxiety and overwhelming worry
-
Depression and low mood
-
Trauma and difficult past experiences
-
Relationship concerns
-
Emotional regulation difficulties
-
Life transitions and stress
-
Self-esteem and confidence
-
Drug and alcohol concerns
Sessions are available both in person in Edmonton and virtually throughout Alberta.
A Counselling Approach That Fits You
Therapy should feel collaborative rather than prescriptive. Together, we can identify what you would like to change and determine an approach that fits your needs, experiences, and goals. I offer in-person counselling in Edmonton as well as secure virtual counselling throughout Alberta. If you’re considering counselling and wondering whether we may be a good fit, you’re welcome to reach out.
Couples Counselling
Relationships can become strained by communication difficulties, recurring conflict, emotional distance, trust concerns, or major life changes. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy and attachment-based approaches, couples counselling focuses on understanding the patterns happening underneath conflict and helping partners reconnect. I also work with couples navigating infidelity, trust repair, and significant relationship transitions.
Addiction Concerns
If substance use, pornography, or gambling has started to interfere with relationships, work, health, or the life you want to be living, counselling can provide a non-judgmental place to explore what is happening. My approach incorporates Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and DBT strategies to help clients better understand patterns of use, strengthen motivation for change, manage triggers, and develop healthier coping strategies. You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning counselling.
