About Me
Hi, I’m Alisha (she/her), your not-so-typical Registered Psychologist in Edmonton, Alberta, with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and communities across the province. I’m here to help you navigate your mental wellness journey in a way that feels relaxed, effective, and relatable.
Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating and it certainly doesn’t need to be filled with clipboards and overly complicated language.
Whether you’re navigating grief, loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, gender/sexual identity, personal growth, or complex relationships with yourself or others. Or if you’re trying to make sense of life as a neurodivergent (ADHD, ASD) or highly sensitive person (HSP) I would love to chat.
Through both laughter and tears, we’ll have real conversations, with no judgment. Let’s sit down and work together to find the approach that’s right for you.
How I Can Help You
I believe therapy starts with connection. Together, we’ll build a trusting relationship, blending evidence-based techniques with practical, relatable approaches to support your unique journey.
Here’s how I can help you:
Why Work With Me?
I’m not your typical therapist. I’m adaptive, laid-back, yet professional, with a dash of humour to keep things grounded. Our psychological health doesn’t always have to be so serious! The people I work with appreciate that I make therapy feel like a conversation with a trusted friend – who just happens to be trained in effective techniques to enable you to get the most out of time when we spend together.
With 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a diverse and integrative range of therapeutic approaches and techniques to our work together. From aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to specialized techniques like EMDR, you’ll receive support in a comfortable, safe, and unique office to help address your mental, emotional, and psychological concerns.

Who I Work With
I currently work in private practice with individuals 16 and older of all genders and ethnicities who are ready to invest in their mental wellness. I specialize in supporting people to heal from painful losses, process grief and trauma, and improve symptoms of anxiety, panic, and depression. I also support people with life transitions, workplace issues, stress management, substance use, and motor vehicle accidents. I will also help you navigate the complexities of modern relationships with yourself and others.
My goal is to make therapy something you look forward to, not something you dread.
I want to create a welcoming, supportive space where you feel comfortable and empowered to explore your thoughts, emotions, and growth. Let's work together to make this a positive and rewarding experience for you.
As a Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) and Bigstone Health Provider, I am deeply committed to supporting Indigenous populations, both within their communities and beyond. I am committed to offering culturally sensitive and respectful care.
I have a particular interest in working with couples of all genders and at all stages of their relationship, from marriage preparation to divorce. My approach is informed by the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, providing couples with the tools to strengthen their bond, improve communication, and navigate challenges together.
I also enjoy supporting people who want to explore healthy dating, including the following:
-
Helping you craft an online dating profile
-
Creating dating goals
-
Increasing awareness of your attachment and dating style
-
Improving communication skills
-
Exploring barriers, setting healthy boundaries
