Brooke 
Registered Provisional Psychologist

Welcome, I am so glad you are here! For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by psychology with a deeply rooted desire to help others. This work feels nourishing to my soul in a way that words cannot fully describe. It is truly heartwarming to witness my clients grow as they discover moments of reconnection to themselves and create meaningful change in their lives. I value creating a warm, respectful, and non-judgmental space where my clients feel safe, seen, heard, and understood.

 

My areas of focus are relational trauma (betrayal trauma, narcissistic abuse), ADHD, anxiety, perfectionism, substance use concerns, body image issues, life transitions, and emotional regulation. Whether you or your teen are facing challenges with interpersonal conflict, managing emotions and behaviours, learning how to manage the complexities of ADHD or anxiety in your day to day life, or building confidence, I am here to help. Mental health is a vital aspect of our overall wellbeing and seeking support is a courageous step toward healing and growth.

 

Through therapy, my clients gain valuable insights into maladaptive patterns and learn practical coping strategies that fosters resilience, healing, and creates more fulfillment in their lives. I believe that therapy isn’t a ‘one size fits all approach’. Therefore, my practice is integrative, which means that I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing / Somatic-Informed Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Self-Compassion, and Animal/Nature-Assisted Interventions.

 

I feel privileged to hold space with each of my clients, where they invite me to listen to their life stories, learn about their greatest fears, and share laughter, as I walk alongside them in their mental health journey and co-create goals for transformational healing.

Training and Education

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist (#P7631) in good standing with the College of Alberta Psychologists. My work is currently being supervised by Margot Crane, RSW, R.Psych. (#4424).

 

I hold a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology from the University of Lethbridge and a Bachelor of Science in Honours Psychology from MacEwan University.​ Across my years of formal education, I have invested in additional training to build my competency in the areas of focus that I love to work with (trauma, anxiety, ADHD, teens, animal and nature assisted interventions, somatic therapy, etc.). I have received training in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing (Beginner Levels I and II), and in Animal Assisted Interventions. I value ongoing learning and will continue to engage in training throughout my career.

 

My work experience includes working within private practices in the Edmonton area, a multidisciplinary team at a local university, and for the Workers Compensation Board of Alberta. I also have many years of experience volunteering for local mental health centres such as Momentum Walk-In Counselling, the Eating Disorders Support Network of Alberta, and the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton.

My History

I was born and raised in Sherwood Park, so practicing psychology in my hometown is incredibly meaningful to me. I am honoured to provide quality psychological counselling services to members of my home community.

From a young age, I knew I wanted to become a psychologist and that dream never wavered. I am grateful to have had such clarity early on in my life and for all the amazing people - both personally and professionally - who have supported me along the way.

I value authenticity and genuine connection, striving to be gentle, caring, and compassionate in my practice. I am an animal lover, and I honestly can’t imagine life without my two dogs and my horse - they bring me so much joy and peace. As an equestrian, horseback riding is one of my greatest passions and I am currently in training with my horse to step into the show ring in the near future. I am also a girly girl who loves all things beauty, makeup, and fashion, always keeping up with the latest trends.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my boyfriend, friends, and family, and staying active. Whether I’m lifting weights at the gym, practicing pilates, horseback riding, playing volleyball, or cheering on the Oilers, I truly love sports! Beyond that, you can catch me watching my favourite reality tv shows or dancing with friends at a music festival.
