Registered Provisional Psychologist

Accepting new clients for daytime and evening appointments.
Hi, I’m Ashley…
Has life been feeling heavier than usual? Maybe you're navigating a major life transition, carrying more than anyone realizes, or you've reached a point where you're wondering, "Is this really how life is supposed to feel?" Maybe you've thought about reaching out, but you don't want to burden the people you love. You don't have to carry it alone anymore.
Therapy starts with building trust. My approach is grounded in building a genuine relationship where you feel safe, understood, and accepted. Together, we'll explore what's been keeping you stuck, make sense of your experiences, and help you move toward feeling more like yourself again.
I work with teens (14+) and adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, stress, and relationship challenges. I have a particular passion for supporting men's mental health and helping fathers navigate the transition into parenthood.
-
Becoming a dad can be one of the biggest transitions of your life. While everyone asks how your partner and baby are doing, very few people ask how you're doing. Maybe you feel pressure to stay strong, provide, and hold everything together while quietly struggling yourself. Maybe your relationship has changed, your identity feels different, or you're carrying anxiety, grief, or stress you never expected.
My passion for supporting men, especially new fathers, grew from both my graduate research and watching the men in my own life navigate the realities of parenthood. While conversations around maternal mental health have thankfully grown, fathers are still often expected to support everyone else while quietly putting their own needs aside. I believe they deserve a space where they can feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported.
Whether you're becoming a dad, adjusting to a new chapter of life, or simply feeling lost, you don't have to navigate it alone. We all deserve at least one place where we don't have to pretend we're okay. My hope is that therapy can be that place for you.

I am originally from Edmonton and recently moved as a result of a work opportunity for my husband. We have long been open to moving cities if the opportunity was the right fit, and this one definitely was. I’m grateful to be so close to the mountains and excited to explore the city.
I worked in restaurants for nearly 14 years before becoming a Registered Provisional Psychologist. Even though at times it was “just burgers and fries”, that environment is where I developed a passion for people, connecting with them and meeting their needs, which deeply informs how I show up in session. I also have a ton of entertaining stories
I have a dog! I have an Australian Sheppard named Marlo who keeps me very busy. We thought we were getting a 50lb dog, but she maxed out at a pint-sized 32 pounds, just small enough to still fit on our laps.
I love podcasts. I listen to a variety, from true crime to science. For me, it’s really the joy of storytelling and learning. Be prepared, I might recommend some of my favourites where applicable in session.
I love to bake and cook…most of the time. Often cooking is an opportunity for me to be creative and quiet my mind, but when I have to do it after a busy day, and everyone forgot to defrost the meat, I am less excited.

Hi, I’m Vanessa…
If you’re feeling stuck in a life transition, navigating relationship challenges, or carrying the weight of grief, you’re not alone — and it makes sense that things feel overwhelming right now. I support adults and couples who feel uncertain, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward, helping them reconnect with themselves and what matters most to them.
You might find yourself repeating patterns in relationships, feeling emotionally stuck, or struggling to make sense of what you’re going through. Together, we slow things down, explore what’s beneath the surface, and begin to shift these patterns in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in relational and attachment-based therapies. I help you understand how your past experiences may be shaping your present, while also building practical, personalized ways to move forward. My goal is to create a space where you feel fully seen, heard, and understood — without judgment — as you strengthen your relationships and move toward a life that feels more aligned and connected.
-
A core part of my work involves helping clients navigate the emotional impact of life transitions, relationship challenges, and loss. These experiences can leave you feeling uncertain, disconnected, or questioning yourself. Together, we take time to understand what you’ve been carrying, how your patterns have developed, and what’s been getting in the way of feeling more like yourself.
In our work, we explore how your past experiences — particularly within relationships — may be influencing how you show up today. This can include patterns like overgiving, difficulty setting boundaries, avoiding conflict, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed in close relationships. As these patterns become clearer, we can begin to shift them in ways that feel more aligned with who you are and how you want to live.
I work with both individuals and couples, supporting you in strengthening communication, deepening emotional connection, and navigating challenges with more clarity and intention. Whether you’re working through conflict, feeling disconnected, or wanting to better understand each other, therapy can be a space to rebuild trust and connection, with yourself and others.
My approach is grounded in relational and attachment-based therapies and integrates trauma-informed care. I balance insight-oriented work with practical tools so that you not only understand your experiences, but also feel more equipped to move forward in your day-to-day life.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. My goal is for therapy to feel supportive, collaborative, and focused on meaningful change — helping you feel more connected, steady, and aligned in your life and relationships.

I was born and raised in Calgary, but I also consider Vancouver my second home.
I spend a lot of time in Mexico, embracing my partner’s heritage and sharing it with our son.
Baking is one my favourite ways to express my creativity and create connection.
I love being outdoors—hiking, walking, or just soaking in nature helps me recharge and reflect.
I’m a dog lover, and spending time with my furry companion is one of my favourite ways to relax and stay present.
I cherish family, culture, and connection, and I bring that warmth and curiosity into both my life and my work.

Hi, I’m Priya…
If you feel stuck in overthinking, self-doubt, or painful relationship patterns, you’re not alone — and there’s a reason this feels so hard. I support men and women navigating trauma, ADHD, and emotional regulation, with a particular focus on healing from narcissistic, emotionally abusive, and high-conflict relationships. These experiences can leave you feeling confused, emotionally drained, and disconnected from your own needs or sense of reality.
I’m a Registered Provisional Psychologist with a Master of Counselling from City University of Seattle. I offer evidence-based, collaborative therapy that helps you understand the why behind what you’re experiencing — not just what to do about it. Clients often describe my approach as clear and direct, balanced with warmth, humor, and a grounded, supportive presence.
-
A core part of my work involves helping clients make sense of relational trauma, including patterns such as gaslighting, manipulation, boundary violations, and loss of self-trust. Together, we name what’s been happening, understand how these patterns formed, and work toward rebuilding confidence in your instincts, choices, and voice.
I also support clients navigating emotional regulation, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and ADHD — patterns that often show up as self-criticism, relationship strain, or feeling overwhelmed by daily life. We explore where these patterns come from, why they persist, and how to shift them in practical, sustainable ways. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, to help process trauma, regulate intense emotions, and shift deeply held beliefs shaped by past experiences.
I offer therapy in English and Punjabi and work with cultural awareness around family dynamics, identity, and intergenerational patterns when these factors are part of a client’s story.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. My goal is for therapy to feel intentional, collaborative, and focused on meaningful, lasting change — supporting you in moving forward with greater stability, confidence, and balance.

From soccer at the age of 4 to nearly every sport throughout school, rugby, badminton, volleyball, you name it, I’ve always loved moving, and today I keep that energy going in ways that are still enjoyable and fit my life
I love game nights and any activity that brings out a bit of friendly competition with friends or family, all for fun (but I’m definitely trying to win).
I’m a big fan of warm weather, which is ironic considering I live in Calgary and it's…slightly excessive snowfall. Travel is one of my biggest passions, especially visiting places that feel completely different from everyday life here.
I love trying new restaurants, and I am always on the lookout for new places to eat, whether at home or while travelling
In my downtime, you’ll usually find me watching reality TV, true crime documentaries or listening to podcasts, basically feeding my curiosity and my inner detective.

Hi, I’m Lisa…
Struggling to support your child, teen, or family through life’s challenges? I help families and young people navigate transitions, mental health concerns, and relationship difficulties with care and expertise. I’m a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from the University of Calgary and over 20 years of experience supporting children, youth, and families in government and non-profit settings. Before private practice, I spent 10 years as a therapist in Child & Adolescent Mental Health with Alberta Health Services in Calgary.
I’m passionate about helping pre-teens and teens better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and celebrate their strengths. Much of my practice focuses on youth struggling with anxiety and big emotions. I work with them to improve self-worth, build coping skills, and feel empowered to face life’s ups and downs.
-
I also offer emotion-focused parent coaching and support. I help parents better understand themselves so they can better support their children, while also addressing burnout, overwhelm, and the stresses of parenting during this stage of life.
At my core, I believe connection is the key to change. This includes the connection with your therapist, the mind-body connection, and the connections with the important people in your life. I support families in working through struggles and empowering them to create more authentic, connected, and fulfilling relationships.

I was born in England and lived there until I was 7. I knew very little about Canada when we moved so had zero idea what to expect but my parents said if we moved I would get my ears pierced so I was getting on that plane!
I played rugby in high school only for the social aspect & had zero skills but had lots of fun!
I love to ski & snowboard with friends & family. I learned to ski at a ski hill in NB where the highway was right below the bottom of the run. Separated by a flimsy plastic “fence”. So I learned that pizza stop really fast.
I love party planning & celebrating things and even did party planning classes and considered it for a career. And the people close to me will tell you I have a hard time not involving myself in any party planning even if it’s for me 🙊
I love to vacation & travel. I did my BSW practicum in Australia. And when I lived in the UK for a bit after my undergrad I travelled around Europe whenever I had a chance. I dragged my poor aunt all over the place & I went to Barcelona alone as my family & friends weren’t interested in going.

Hi, I’m Jen…
I help midlife women and anyone navigating life transitions feel more like themselves—mentally, physically, and emotionally. I’m a Registered Psychologist and a Registered Dietitian with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I love helping clients explore the connection between mental and physical health so they can create their own version of wellness.
A big focus of my practice is supporting midlife women through perimenopause and menopause—a time often filled with identity shifts, hormonal changes, and symptoms that can deeply impact mental health. I take your overwhelm and help you find practical and tangible steps towards feeling more like yourself. I also provide a safe, open, and non-judgmental space to explore the full range of emotions you’re experiencing, guiding you from frustration toward acceptance
-
I also work with clients struggling with negative body image, which can affect relationships, social connection, and the ability to fully enjoy life—including enjoying delicious food! In therapy, we explore your relationship with food, your body, and movement in a way that fosters self-compassion, respect, and peace. I practice from a non-diet, Health at Every Size® perspective that affirms all body types and identities. Health is not defined by size, and I support you in challenging societal messages that suggest otherwise.
Beyond menopause, body image, and disordered eating, I also support individuals navigating IBS, stress, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Therapy can be challenging, but getting to a place where you’re not just surviving—but truly thriving—is absolutely worth it.

I love travelling. My husband and I even left our jobs and travelled for one full year to 20 countries. My favourites from that trip were Japan, Croatia, Indonesia, and Colombia.
I grew up on a farm in rural Alberta. I spent many days on combine rides and in grain trucks with my Dad. I love the city life and wouldn’t return to the farm but I do love driving through the prairies during crop season.
Running is a passion of mine. I’ve ran 5 marathons including two world majors - Chicago and New York. This feels quite amazing considering I had debilitating asthma as a kid and even as I grew out of it, I would use it as an excuse to get out of gym class because I hated physical activity.
I love to sing karaoke. I do not have a great singing voice but I love to perform. I’m a more reserved person so it’s a lot of fun to surprise people when I get on stage and let loose.
I went to school to be a makeup artist. I didn’t last long in the industry as I didn’t like giving up every weekend to do wedding makeup and honestly wasn’t very skilled at it. But it was fun for a little while to explore my creative side.

Hi, I’m Alina…
I help people face life’s inevitable struggles while discovering their own inner truth, wisdom, and capacity to thrive. I’m a Registered Psychologist with a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from Athabasca University, and I practice from a strengths-based approach. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and my role as your therapist is to support you in navigating challenges while helping you trust yourself, connect with your inner guidance, and build the resilience to move forward with confidence.
I often work with perfectionists, high-achievers, and people-pleasers who feel like no matter how much they do, it’s never enough. Many describe racing thoughts, overwhelming emotions, and a sense of simply getting through the days rather than truly thriving. Over time, this can create distance from your values, purpose, and sense of self.
-
Together, we’ll explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be pulling you out of alignment with what matters most to you. With care and curiosity, we’ll identify what’s no longer serving you, strengthen your relationship with yourself and others, and create space for more authenticity, clarity, and self-trust.
My goal is to support you in moving from simply getting through life to living with intention and purpose. We’ll focus on meaningful, values-aligned action so you can build a life that feels grounded, fulfilling, and truly your own. If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself and live more authentically, you’re in the right place.

Are ready to move from surviving to living in a way that feels authentic and aligned
If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself and build a life guided by your values—not fear or pressure—this may be the right space for you.

I was born in Russia and we moved here when I was two, so I’m a true Calgarian. I still speak Russian with my parents, and my daughter is learning the language now as well.
I'm a recovering perfectionist and that is likely why I connect so well with my clients. I know what it’s like to feel that pressure, to never feel good enough, and always feel the need to strive for more. I also know what it feels like to slow down, find balance, and hold your perfectionism lightly.
I love travelling & enjoying new cultures. My favourite countries that I’ve visited so far have been Italy, Greece and Croatia. I am pretty comfortable in the European continent, but I do have Bali on my bucket list.
My husband & I met in University at the library while studying. It definitely was not love at first sight and I tried to break up with him after about a month. He convinced me not to and here we are 12 years later, with a beautiful daughter. As cheesy as it might sound, he’s my best friend.
If I weren't a therapist, I’d be an event planner or interior designer. I love organizing, planning, and decorating. You could say my type A and perfectionist skills come to good use at times.

Hi, I’m Nicole…
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next steps? I help clients navigate life’s challenges and discover their own strengths so they can move forward with confidence. I’m a Registered Psychologist with a Master’s degree in School & Clinical Child Psychology from the University of Alberta, bringing seven years of experience in government programs and non-profit agencies. I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is when people own who they are and what they need, creating a life that honors their unique strengths.
I work with teens and adults who may feel lost, stuck, or like the “odd one out”—whether that shows up as anxiety, low self-esteem, identity struggles, relationship difficulties, trauma, or major life transitions. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and accepted exactly as you are, so growth can happen. Together, we’ll challenge limiting beliefs, process emotions in healthy ways, and take tangible steps toward self-actualization and wellness.
-
I also support families dealing with conflict, attachment wounds, trauma, life transitions, or feelings of disconnection. I help you better understand one another, break negative cycles, and reconnect in meaningful ways.
My approach is flexible and strengths-focused, drawing from emotionally-focused, cognitive-behavioural, and attachment-based therapies. I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to support processing and recovery from trauma or emotional distress. I’m excited to get to know you, recognize your strengths, and work together to nurture hope on your journey forward!

I love to skate and grew up playing hockey. I still enjoy skating at outdoor rinks in the winter and love to watch hockey.
I am passionate about walking. For me, taking a long walk is the ultimate wellness practice. Luckily, Calgary has lots of awesome walking trails and parks to explore.
I am a first-generation Canadian. My parents are immigrants from South Africa. I grew up with a combination of Canadian and South African culture and values and feel a connection to other first-generation Canadians as well.
I love to cook. This has become a relatively new passion of mine, but I am always looking for new recipes to try. My favourites are soups, pasta dishes, and anything Mexican.
I love to be creative. I enjoy painting, drawing, crafting, you name it. I’m a regular at Michaels.

Hi, I’m Bri…
I support children, adolescents, and families navigating emotional challenges, life transitions, and complex relationships. I believe healing happens through safe, supportive connection, and I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, understood, and supported as they grow.
I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and over 11 years of experience in the mental health field. Through my work with children, youth, and families, I’ve seen how powerful relationships can be in fostering resilience, healing, and meaningful change.
-
My work is trauma-informed and attachment-based, with flexible, holistic approaches tailored to each client. I support children, teens, couples, and families, with a focus on strengthening relationships — with yourself and with others.
I have a special interest in supporting young women navigating ADHD, particularly those newly diagnosed. Together, we work to build self-compassion, understand neurodiversity, and develop practical tools to help you thrive.
At the core of my practice is collaboration, authenticity, and care. I show up as my full, human self — compassionate, present, and sometimes with a bit of humour — creating a space where growth feels supported and genuine.

I was born and raised in Ontario. Call me crazy, but I would choose lakes over the mountains! The one thing that makes me feel most at home is jumping into a refreshing cold lake in the heat of summer!
I love sports! I’ve played ringette for over 20 years and continue to spend my winter evenings in a cold rink around Calgary! I even played for a Europe travel team in 2009 where we went to Prague, Sweden, Finland, and Germany!
I love travelling! Traveling and new experiences are always on my mind! I am that person who is planning the next trip while the current one wraps up. I’m usually in Palm Springs or Phoenix in the winter months visiting my parents or in-laws, otherwise you can catch me on a beach somewhere!
I am a foster parent for rescue animals. I have always been a HUGE animal lover, and during COVID I finally convinced my husband to let me be a foster mom for a local rescue agency! 30 foster dogs later I have officially “foster failed” and now have 3 resident dogs of my own! A Saint Bernard, Pitbull, and Chihuahua- we definitely get some laughs and looks at the dog parks!
I am a foodie! To say I'm a foodie is an understatement! I love going out with my husband and/or friends to try new food all over the city (and world). Perhaps I was a food blogger in a previous life! I am that person that everyone asks for a suggestion for the best happy hour or trendy spot to go! My favorite food is most definitely pizza, so if you have any recommendations, I NEED to know!

Hi, I’m Sara…
With more than 10 years in the mental health field, I’m passionate about creating a welcoming, supportive experience for every person who reaches out to Exhale. I believe that care begins long before someone walks into a therapy room, and my goal is to ensure clients feel seen, supported, and guided every step of the way.
Connection is at the heart of what I do. I love being part of a team that leads with compassion, collaboration, and authenticity—values that make Exhale feel like a place where both clients and clinicians can breathe a little easier.
When I’m not working behind the scenes at the clinic, you’ll find me with my family, friends, or my two fur babies. I also love unwinding with a good book, a cozy reality show, or a sappy movie—anything that helps me slow down, recharge, and come back grounded.

Hi, I’m Cassandra…
I have a passion for building people up, and making things happen! With 10 years of experience in Mental Health working to support clinics, inpatient units, and develop new programs, I wanted to get out on my own and help private practices grow. I love seeing peoples visions and goals come to life, and enjoy giving a helping hand to those in need.
In my free time you will find me out exploring in the mountains, riding horses, and spending time with family, friends, and the fur babies!
