Petra works with individuals who are tired of the anxiety and exhaustion from perfectionist ideals and people-pleasing behaviours. Her clients talk about feeling overwhelmed and burnt out and report sensations like rapid breathing, racing heart, jittery insides, sweating, and a busy brain.
Petra is a client-centred, trauma-informed therapist who tailors each session to the unique needs and goals of each client. She loves to use psycho-education in her sessions to support clients in gaining a deeper understanding of their automatic responses to the world around them. She is trained in a variety of modalities including EMDR, self-compassion, mindfulness, body-based techniques, and solution-focused therapy.
Petra is a registered psychologist in good standing with the College of Alberta Psychologists (CAP) and the Psychologists’ Associaion of Alberta (PAA). She provides individual therapy to adults and youth ages 5 and up.
