Arcadia Counselling

Arcadia Counselling Canadian Certified Counsellor, providing in-person sessions in Calgary and virtual sessions for those in AB, BC, SK, MB, & NU. Hello and welcome!

Visit the booking website to book a free complimentary consultation call to ask any questions and see if we are a good fit. It takes courage to seek help, so I commend you for taking this first step. Although therapy can seem intimidating, I view it as just like any other health service, such as the dentist or chiropractor. Just like how we visit the dentist if we have severe tooth pain or need a

regular routine cleaning, I am here for both your traumatic life experiences as well as maintenance sessions. No issue is too small when working with me and my practice, Arcadia Counselling. No one is meant to struggle alone, which is where I come in. Therapy looks different for everyone so whether you are looking for a place to unload, want me to challenge you to uncover the ‘nitty-gritty’, desire at home virtual sessions, want to learn some new coping techniques, or improve your quality of life, I strive to help you feel supported, validated, and heard. Here to accompany you on your healing journey, my approach comes from a place of compassion, warmth, and sometimes lighthearted conversation (so that our time together is more fun than going to the dentist!). My passion for supporting others is longstanding and genuine. With over a decade spent in the field of psychology, I bring experience, education, and a warm welcoming aura to my practice. I hold a bachelor’s degree from the University of Lethbridge in psychology and a master’s degree from Yorkville University in counselling psychology. I have worked in both the public and private sectors, working alongside those with varying mental health concerns. As a generalist, I support children, adults, couples, and families with a wide range of presenting concerns. My counselling style takes a holistic, client-centered, and trauma-informed approach while providing a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space. I draw from a number of therapeutic approaches including, but not limited to, cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I offer a 15-minute complimentary meet and greet call for any further questions or to chat about how I can support you. I am also open to discussing benefits coverage and sliding-scale questions.

Identity mapping is a reflective exercise used to explore the many parts of who we are and how those identities influence our lived experiences.

Our identities can include things like:

- culture
- race
- gender
- sexuality
- religion
- ability
- socioeconomic background
- profession
- family roles
- and more

Some parts of identity may feel deeply visible in daily life, while others may feel invisible, misunderstood, privileged, or difficult to talk about.

There are no “right” answers to these prompts. The goal isn’t judgment... it’s awareness, curiosity, and self-understanding.

Reflection exercises like this can also help build empathy for experiences outside of our own.

You might consider journaling your responses or discussing them with someone you trust (or me!)

Which prompt made you pause and think the most? 🤍

We often talk about health in terms of exercise, nutrition, sleep, or doctor appointments... but mental health is health too.

Stress, anxiety, burnout, grief, and emotional overwhelm can affect every part of our lives, including our physical well-being.

Seeking support isn’t weakness. It’s a form of caring for yourself.

Checking in with your mental health matters just as much as checking in with your body. 🤍

When something in the future is worrying you, try asking yourself this: Am I choosing fear over joy, or joy over fear?

We can't read the future, and that's genuinely hard. So we try to find certainty instead. We search for answers that aren't there, and the worry just continues, unsolved.

Choosing joy doesn't mean ignoring the fear. It means not letting fear make every decision for you.

Learning to accept that some things can't be known is a skill. And when you start to practise it, it can feel surprisingly freeing.

Easier said than done, I know. But noticing the question is already a step. 💛

This is the door you'll walk through when you come to Arcadia Counselling (within the .HolisticServices collective). 🚪

I know that first step - actually booking, actually showing up - can feel like the hardest part. You might be wondering if your stuff is "big enough" for therapy. If you're overreacting. If you should just be able to handle it on your own.

Here's what I want you to know: you don't have to be in crisis to deserve support. You don't have to have it all figured out before you walk through this door.

You can show up tired, confused, unsure if therapy is even what you need. You can show up because something feels off and you can't quite name it. You can show up because you're functional on the outside but exhausted on the inside.

Whatever you're carrying - the messy, complicated, hard-to-explain stuff - there's space for it here and I'll meet you with a grateful heart. 💙

Located at Kula Holistic Services - YYC in Calgary. Currently accepting new clients - visit https://kulaholistics.janeapp.com/ #/staff_member/9 to book a free consultation.

Instead of telling your child to take a deep breath, take one with them.

Co-regulation means regulating your emotions together. And it works because kids don't learn calm by being told to calm down. They learn it by feeling it, from you.

Babies and children are picking up on so much more than we realize. Your nervous system is speaking to theirs, even when no words are involved. When you model regulation, you're not just helping them through the moment; you're teaching them what it feels like to come back to themselves.

The good news? It's good for you too. 🌿

Hard. Awkward. Uncomfortable. Heavy. Raw. Scary.

Therapy can feel like all of these things, sometimes all at once. But here's what I've seen over and over again: what feels impossible at first becomes manageable. Then familiar. Then yours. You're growing, even when it doesn't feel like it.

Keep going. 🌱

Hello and welcome! 👋 Although therapy can seem intimidating, I view it as just like any other health service, such as the dentist or chiropractor. Just like how we visit the dentist if we have severe tooth pain or need a regular routine cleaning, I am here for both your traumatic life experiences as well as maintenance or self-care sessions. No issue is too small when working with me and my practice, Arcadia Counselling. No one is meant to struggle alone, which is where I come in. 💫

Therapy looks different for everyone so whether you are looking for a place to unload, want me to challenge you to uncover the ‘nitty-gritty’, desire at home virtual sessions, want to learn some new coping techniques, or improve your quality of life, I strive to help you feel supported, validated, and heard. Here to accompany you on your healing journey, my approach comes from a place of compassion, warmth, and sometimes lighthearted conversation (so that our time together is more fun than going to the dentist!).

My passion for supporting others is longstanding and genuine. With over a decade spent in the field of psychology, I bring experience, education, and a warm welcoming aura to my practice. I hold a bachelor’s degree from the University of Lethbridge in psychology and a master’s degree from Yorkville University in counselling psychology.
