Difficulties with navigating health, relationship, or role transitions in life is overwhelming for all of us at times. My work focuses on helping individuals and couples find their way through these sorts of concerns.

My work also focuses on concerns with anxiety, depression, stress, and couples therapy or individual work around relationships.
My work has included work in a clinic focused on work-related injuries as well as physical, psychological, and social rehabilitation. In my role in that clinic, I developed strong skills in working with a variety of clients. In my current work I draw on cognitive behavioral therapies, solution focused, Gottman Couples Method, and I am trained in EMDR.

Away on maternity leave.
I provide individual counselling to adults and couples with a variety of concerns. I am especially passionate about working with individuals dealing with anxiety, developmental trauma, relationship issues, ADHD, immigration and acculturation issues, school success issues, and life transitions.
I define my approach to therapy as adaptive and trauma-informed. This means that I adapt my approach to match each client’s area of concern by using a combination of brain based type of therapy (Brainspotting), with different talk therapy modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Attachment Theory. I particularly enjoy incorporating spirituality or spiritual practices in therapy if/when this is meaningful to my clients.
I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I am available at both the Calgary and Red Deer locations. My schedule includes weekday evenings and daytime appointments, which can be either in person or virtual. I can provide direct billing through Alberta Blue Cross and Greenshield.
I look forward to meeting you and helping on your journey towards healing.

My name is Samuel! I am a therapist and previous medical doctor who is
passionate about the messy and beautiful parts of being human. I believe
that we live in a world that constantly (and often effectively) tries to
tell us who and what we should be, which often leads us to trying to fit
in. This can create a considerable amount of conflict, and possibly
trauma, inside of us that not only leads to mental health challenges such
as anxiety and depression but can also take us further from the belonging
and connection that we desperately crave. As your therapist, I hope to
provide a safe non-judgmental space for you to think and feel your way
through the messiness of your humanity. I look forward to our journey
together!

I believe in a person-centred, nonjudgmental approach to counselling, where no client struggle is seen as insignificant. I am compassionate and empathetic, and strive to ensure a safe space for clients to work through their concerns. I also understand the importance of honouring individual differences and celebrating people’s stories, while being considerate of the varied cultural and social contexts within which they exist.
I provide clients with the necessary technical tools to address issues and help achieve their goals. I know that each individual comes with their unique experiences and, as such, different people will require different things from therapy. Accordingly, I believe in having open and honest communication about my clients’ needs and work hard to foster a strong therapeutic relationship.
I provide counselling to both youth and adults experiencing a plethora of concerns, including those related to relationship troubles, self esteem, anxiety, self-care and life transitions, among others. I believe in an evidence-based approach to counselling that is largely tied to the client’s needs. To ensure that I am the right fit for my clients’ needs, I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation in order to help us get to know each other before a session.
Languages: Eden is fluent in English and Hindi.

Have you been searching for help and running into a wall? Does anxiety control the choices you make, ruling your life and holding you hostage? Or perhaps you feel as though you live in a fog, and a dark cloud of gloom is robbing your joy? By seeking help - by looking for a therapist - you have taken the first step towards healing, wholeness, and making peace with yourself. As a registered provisional psychologist, my job is to meet you where you are at and bring my expertise to your situation so that, together, we can come up with solutions that work for you.
Sometimes our pain will manifest as things like addictions or eating disorders. In order to heal, we need to get to the root of the problem. I have extensive experience working with individuals to do just that.. I have worked with individuals of all ages, with disordered eating and eating disorders, as well as adolescents through seniors with addictions. My experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings gives me the knowledge to work with individuals with a range of acuity, difficulties, and co-occurring diagnoses. I have experience working with couples, with children on the autism spectrum (both verbal and non-verbal), and with individuals with trauma, PTSD, and from military backgrounds. I look forward to supporting you on your journey to wellness and to living a full and joyful life!

Her goal is to help you recognize your strengths, expand your perspective as the foundation for developing better habits and ways of navigating life.

I am a fellow human being on a journey of learning, growing, and healing. I have been supporting beautiful, messy, and imperfect people through the ups and downs of life for over a decade. My goal is to provide you with an experience of feeling seen, heard, and connected to a mental health professional who can provide a safe non-judgmental space. I feel that we are all whole (even if we feel broken) and it is through this safe therapeutic relationship we can open universes of possibilities like making sense of your experiences together, connecting with yourself and others with self-compassion, and learning research-based techniques. I believe that one of the greatest gifts I can give another human is my attention in an environment of openness, curiosity, and empathy. So, I aim to listen carefully, kindly, and genuinely—with an open heart and an open mind.
