I am a Registered Clinical Social Worker and hold a Master of Social Work degree from Dalhousie University and have been a working therapist for over 22 years. I have a broad range of clinical experience in treating mental health concerns (anxiety, depression, trauma, etc.) as well as substance use and codependency. I strive to help my clients uncover the barriers to their recovery using a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach.

I am so glad you are here!

Welcome! I’m Shyann!

Sometimes life feels heavier than it should. You might be doing all the “right” things, but still feel disconnected, anxious, or unsure of where to start. I believe therapy can be a soft place to land, a space to slow down, untangle your thoughts, and begin to find your way back to yourself.

I work with people from all walks of life, including new and expecting parents, those navigating change, or anyone feeling lost in the noise of everyday life. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and stories that have shaped you and create space for something new to emerge. I bring warmth, curiosity, and calm presence to my sessions. My hope is that you leave feeling a little more grounded, steady, and at home in your own life.

 I hold a Bachelor of Social Work through the University of Calgary and am currently completing my Master of Social Work through Wilfrid Laurier University. My work is grounded in a blend of evidence-based and compassionate approaches. I’ve completed training in DBT and Mindfulness (dual certification), CBT, ACT, and Attachment-Based therapy. These perspectives allow me to meet clients where they are, with empathy, practical tools, and a deep respect for their individual journey through change, healing, and growth. I’m completing my certification in Perinatal Mental Health through Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Trainings and registered with the Alberta College of Social Workers. I offer in-person session in Grande Prairie, and virtual sessions across Alberta, providing a supportive environment where you can feel heard, understood, and at ease.
