About Adriana

Children 5+/ Youth / Individuals Counselling Statement. Hello, my name is Adriana. I am exited that you are interested in starting the counselling process. It takes a lot of courage. Determining who you will work with is an important decision so please take time to read my profile to see if we will be a good fit.. I have my Masters in Counseling Psychology and am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta psychologists. I am passionate about empathetically empowering clients to heal and change so that they can live their lives to the fullest. I believe that every person is valuable and therefore treats people with respect, unconditional positive regard, and compassion. I know that everyone is capable of change but understands that it is hard and takes courage, so she is patient and encouraging throughout the counselling process. I honor the uniqueness of each individual, couple and family and collaborate with every client to develop a plan that will be effective and employ their strengths.

I am very passionate about helping children and parents navigate these times. When working with children my first priority is developing a strong relationship with the child so they feel comfortable. I primarily use play, art and sand tray therapy when working with children these activities to help children process their internal experience and challenge their perceptions of their struggles.
